Analysis and Optimization of the Fan-Pad Evaporative Cooling System for Greenhouse Based on CFD
A CFD model was presented to simulate the distribution of air velocity and temperature in a greenhouse adopting the fan-pad cooling system in summer. The Boussinesq hypothesis was applied for the simulation of gravitation; the k-ε turbulent model and discrete ordinates model were selected to predict...
