The Experimental Study and Numerical Simulation of the Gas Flow Field in the Cold Storage of Procambarus Clarkii

Abstract:

The gas flow in the cold storage plays a very important role in the effect of cold storages of procambarus clarkii. Only the reasonable gas flow ensures the uniform temperature field.The paper uses the technique of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to conduct the numerical simulation of the flow field and finds out the law of the distribution of the temperature field,on the basis of which the numerical simulation of non steady state of the freezing process of the frozen products is carried out.The experiments prove that the simulation results can better reflect the reality,and show that CFD tools can play an important role in the design and optimization of cold storages.
