Effects of Height Dimensions on the Microclimate of a Soilless Greenhouse: A Numerical Study
摘要
In this paper, we apply a mixture of numerical modeling and experimental settings to examine thoroughly the inside conditions of a soilless greenhouse situated in Tunisia. The study’s primary objective is to predict the effects of design modifications on the microclimate of the Manouba soilless greenhouse. Previous research has detailed various adjustments to the greenhouse’s architecture. This investigation focuses mainly on adjusting the height of an above-ground tunnel greenhouse. To account for the dynamic impacts of current tomato and basil crops on airflow, heat, and mass exchanges, climatic studies are focused on numerical models with the CFD model in ANSYS FLUENT 16.2 software.
