A computational fluid dynamics model of the spatial and temporal gas distribution in a storage container for apple fruit KU Leuven
A 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of a storage container for apple fruit was developed using the computational software ANSYS 16.2. The geometrical model considered the detailed geometry of the container and fruit bins. Two random stacks of spheres representing the fruit were generated using a discrete element simulation. Air velocity was simulated and the predicted air velocity field in the container was validated by velocity ...
