In this study, the uniformity of the horizontal velocity and the temperature of each zone were investigated by computerized analysis method to divide the drying room into three multi - rooms to ensure the uniformity of flow inside the forced convection hot air dryer. The internal structure of the drying room of the dryer was modeled using Solidworks. In order to control the flow of hot air circulating in the drying chamber, the possibility of controlling the horizontal flow inside the drying room was verified by using a perforated plate, a guide vane, and a vertical plate. From the results of the flow visualization in the drying room, it was understood that the internal flows of the dryer models 1, 2 and 3 change from ununiform flow to uniform flow. From the analysis of velocity and temperature fluctuation, the results of the analysis of the dryer model 3 satisfied the design conditions.

Effects of uniform flow on a two-dimensional mesoscale horizontal convection were investigated by using the vorticity and thermodynamic equations. For this purpose, We simulated properties of a thermal convection in a stably stratified Boussinesq fluid caused by partial heating at the center of a lower boundary. If we don`t consider effects of the uniform flow, the convection takes the form of axisymmetric with respect to the z-axis. But when uniform flow is strong, velocity field and temperature field consist of a single cell structure which spreads upstream side of the partial heating area. The flow pattern for strong uniform flows takes the form of positive temperature near the ground and negative temperature perturbation aloft over the partial heating area, and downward motion directly over the upwind portion of the partial heating area and upward motion on the downstream side. The downstream edge of the upstream cell is shifted in the downstream direction with the increase of uniform flow almost linearly.
