Numerical simulation of the airflow and temperature patterns in a greenhouse equipped with insect-proof screen in the openings
(2002)
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 dynamics (CFD) package (CFD2000®). The ...
Influence of the heating method on greenhouse microclimate and energy consumption
(2005)
The influence of the heating system method on greenhouse microclimate was investigated overnight, using an experimental greenhouse tunnel with a tomato crop. The heating system consisted of plastic heating pipes located ...
Numerical and experimental analysis of convective heat transfer in a heated greenhouse
(2008)
Internal convective flows, resulted from buoyancy forces, in a greenhouse tunnel were numerically and experimentally analysed and discussed. Experiments were performed in an experimental arc type tunnel greenhouse with a ...
Natural ventilation performance of six greenhouse and tunnel types
(1997)
The physical basis of natural ventilation is reviewed and the ventilation performance examined of six different greenhouse and tunnel types equipped with either roof or side, or both roof and side vents. Altogether, sixteen ...
Pressure field and airflow at the opening of a naturally ventilated greenhouse
(1998)
Direct estimation of airflow at the vent opening by means of differential pressure measurements were performed in a twin-span greenhouse equipped with a continuous vent at the gutter. Application of Bernoulli's equation ...
Influence of whitening on greenhouse microclimate and crop energy partitioning
(2001)
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. Measurements of microclimate variables, intercepted ...
Crop-climate coupling in greenhouses. characterization and analysis
(2005)
The present work analyses the degree of coupling between a greenhouse rose crop and the internal climate as a function of crop characteristics (leaf area index, LAI) and greenhouse climate functions (natural and forced ...
Influence of vent design on greenhouse microclimate during dehumidification with simultaneous heating and ventilation
(2006)
The influence of greenhouse vent configuration on greenhouse microclimate and energy consumption when natural ventilation was used for greenhouse dehumidification was numerically analysed using a computational fluid dynamics ...
Heat and mass transfer in a large evaporative cooled greenhouse equipped with a progressive shading
(2005)
An experimental study was conducted in a large commercial greenhouse equipped with a fan and pad evaporative cooling system and a half-shaded plastic roof. Experimental measurements were carried out at four different ...
Numerical simulation of the airflow and temperature distribution in a tunnel greenhouse equipped with insect-proof screen in the openings
(2002)
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 dynamics (CFD) package (CFD2000(R)). ...
