Abstract Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach is a versatile technique being
applied to multiple areas of knowledge. CFD approach has contributed to comprehensively …

At the moment, there are a large number of agricultural net types on the market
characterized by different structural features such as type of material, type and dimensions of …

Many methods of protected agriculture are used to modify the growing environment of
plants. Ideally, plant production would take place in regions that do not require protective …

The high energy consumption in the greenhouse during the winter season necessitates the
development of various thermal screens for energy-saving purposes. However, there is …

An analysis of the ventilation process in a tunnel greenhouse equipped with an insect-proof
screen in the side openings was performed with the use of a commercial computational fluid …

The paper begins with a brief review of earlier work. The 1990s saw limited extensions to the
theory, computer modelling and practices relating to light transmission, apart from an …

The use of forced ventilation for greenhouse cooling and air humidity regulation purposes
has been expanded around Mediterranean area. The aim of the present study was the …

The influence of whitening a greenhouse roof on microclimate and canopy behaviour was
studied during summer in a greenhouse located in the coastal area of eastern Greece …

Air flow, temperature and humidity patterns were simulated in a large-scale Moroccan type
tomato-greenhouse (5600m2) equipped with insect-proof nets. The fundamental calculation …

In this paper, the characterisation and modelling of the most relevant convective transfers
contributing to the description of the distributed greenhouse climate are studied in detail …
