摘要
本文开发并验证了一种多尺度计算流体动力学(CFD)模型,用于研究强制空气冷却(FAC)条件下猕猴桃冷库中的气流和传热。CFD 模型包含了猕猴桃和通风包装箱的材料特性、几何形状、位置以及冷却装置的详细结构。在多尺度建模中,使用三个相互关联的子模型来描述材料特性,每个子模型侧重于不同的空间尺度:仓库尺度、包装尺度和猕猴桃尺度。在 FAC 实验中,获得了这三个空间尺度上的气流和温度测量值,并与模拟结果进行了比较。数据分析显示,不同尺度的环境波动随着包装和果肉的缓冲作用呈阶梯状明显减弱,表明空间尺度之间存在耦合,这在数值模拟中得到了很好的反映。猕猴桃的平均温度在 14.5 小时(实验)和 15.6 小时(模拟)内从 20 ℃ 降至 6 ℃。具体而言,预测气流和猕猴桃温度的平均绝对误差、平均绝对百分比误差和均方根误差分别为 0.116 m s-1、1.26 °C;26.8%、14%;和 0.124 m s-1、1.54 °C。这些结果表明,多尺度 CFD 模型准确有效地模拟了特定猕猴桃 FAC 系统中的气流和时空温度分布。最后,本研究为精确模拟大规模工业 FAC 系统提供了参考,并为可持续猕猴桃冷链设计的优化决策提供了支持。
Multiscale coupling analysis and modeling of airflow and heat transfer for warehouse-packaging-kiwifruit under forced-air cooling
This paper develops and verifies a multiscale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to investigate the airflow and heat transfer in kiwifruit cold storage under forced-air cooling (FAC). The CFD model incorporates the material properties, geometry, position of kiwifruit and ventilated packaging box, and the detailed structure of the cooling unit. For the multiscale modeling, the material characteristics are described using three interconnected sub-models, focusing each on different spatial scales: the warehouse-scale, packaging-scale, and kiwifruit-scale. In the FAC experiment, the measured airflow and temperature on these three spatial scales were obtained and compared with the simulated results. The data analysis shows that the environmental fluctuations at different scales weaken significantly in a stepwise manner with the cushioning of packaging and fruit flesh, indicating coupling between the spatial scales, which is well reflected in the numerical simulation. The average kiwifruit temperature decreases from 20 to 6 °C in 14.5 h (experimental) and 15.6 h (simulated). Specifically, the average mean absolute error, mean absolute percentage error, and root mean squared error of the predicted airflow and kiwifruit temperature were 0.116 m s−1, 1.26 °C; 26.8%, 14%; and 0.124 m s−1, 1.54 °C, respectively. These results indicate that the multiscale CFD model accurately and efficiently simulates the airflow and spatiotemporal temperature distribution in the given kiwifruit FAC system. Finally, this study provides a reference for accurately simulating large-scale industrial FAC systems and supports optimal decision-making for the design of sustainable kiwifruit cold chains.
