Analysing the local climate in a plant factory in CFD by simulating the heat and mass transfer of the plants using a realistic plant model Universiteit Gent
Maintaining the ideal environmental conditions for plants is essential in vertical farms and greenhouses. Achieving this optimal climate can be achieved through the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), allowing for the comparison of various ventilation techniques, among other benefits. Previously, plants were modeled as a porous zone, in which additional source terms are added to the energy or transpiration transport equation. In ...
