Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to develop some multiscale and multiphysics analysis models by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach. We developed some heat and mass transfer models to design and control cold storage system for fruit and vegetables (FV) and predicted physical and chemical phenomenon in FV loaded in the storage by using CFD simulation technique. In order to achieve these purposes, we carried out the following research topics: (1) Air conditioning simulation in cold store, (2) Observation of whole structure of FV using an X-ray computational tomography (CT) and multiphysics simulation based on the reconstructed three-dimensional shape geometry obtained from the X-ray CT images, and (3) Observation of micro structure of FV using an high-resolution X-ray CT and multiphysics simulation. Furthermore, we constructed the procedure for flame work to utilize multiscale analysis.
