      Bartzanas, T.; Kacira, M.; Zhu, H.; Karmakar, S.; Tamimi, E.; Katsoulas, N.; Lee, I. B.; Kittas, C. (2013)
      Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), numerical analysis and simulation tools of fluid flow processes have emerged from the development stage and become nowadays a robust design tool. It is widely used to study various ...
    • THE IMPACT OF INSECT SCREENS AND VENTILATION OPENINGS ON THE GREENHOUSE MICROCLIMATE 

      Kittas, C.; Katsoulas, N.; Bartzanas, T.; Mermier, M.; Boulard, T. (2008)
      The objective of this work was to experimentally investigate the influence of vent type (side, roof, or both) and of anti-aphid insect screens on airflow, air temperature, and air vapor pressure deficit distribution in a ...
    • INFLUENCE OF HEATING SYSTEM ON GREENHOUSE MICROCLIMATE DISTRIBUTION 

      Tadj, N.; Bartzanas, T.; Fidaros, D.; Draoui, B.; Kittas, C. (2010)
      Convective and radiative heat transfer from heating systems significantly determines greenhouse microclimate during the cold period of the year. These mechanisms are complicated because they combine free and forced convection ...
