농산물 저온저장고 내부의 온도분포 균일화를 수치해석적으로 분석하기 위해 3차원 CFD 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. CFD 시뮬레이션 모델은 속도벡터 및 온도분포 측정치와 비교를 통해 검증하였으며, 온도분포 균일화 향상을 위한 적정 팬용량 및 적재방법을 설정하기 위해 몇 가지 팬풍속 및 저장물과 벽체간의 거리 등에 대해 기류패턴과 온도 분포를 분석하였다. CFD 시뮬레이션의 검증에서 속도벡터 분포는 PIV시스템에 의한 측정치와 비교했을 때 표준 k-모

To maintain the storage quality of agricultural products, temperature uniformity during cold storage, which is affected by fan flow rate and product arrangement, is important. We simulated and validated a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) model that can predict both airflow and temperature distribution in a cold storage environment. Computations were based on a commercial code (FLUENT 6.2) and two turbulence models. The standard k- model and the Reynolds stress model (RSM) were chosen to improve the accuracy of CFD prediction. To obtain comparative data, the temperature distribution and velocity vector profiles were measured in a full-scale cold storage facility and in a 1/5 scale model. The agricultural products domain in cold storage was modeled as porous for economical computation. The RSM prediction showed good agreement with experimental data. In addition, temperature distribution was simulated in the cold storage rooms to estimate the uniformity of temperature distribution using the validated model.
