Abstract

Numerical simulation is an effective tool for the thermal management of propulsion systems. Moreover, it contributes to the design and performance assessment of solar greenhouses for mushroom ventilation. Because the planning and design of the clustered solar greenhouse are still undiscovered, this study has developed a 3-D mathematical model suitable for a large-scale park of mushroom solar greenhouses based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) theory. The effects of the orientation arrangement, horizontal spacing, vertical spacing of the cultivation racks, and the building distance between adjacent greenhouses on the ventilation performance were analyzed. The numerical simulation showed good agreement with the experimental measurement. The CFD results indicated that the reasonable layout of cultivation racks in mushroom solar greenhouses is a north-south arrangement. The horizontal spacing of cultivation racks has a significant influence on the wind speed and cooling rate, and the optimal spacing is 0.8 m. The overall height of the cultivation racks has little effect on the ventilation performance. Nevertheless, the vertical spacing between cultivation rack layers has a remarkable effect, and the optimal vertical spacing is 0.29 m. Reducing the building distance between the two adjacent greenhouses within a certain range helps increase the ventilation efficiency, leading to an increase in land utilization in the greenhouse park. The optimal building distance between the adjacent greenhouses is 10 m. The research results can provide theoretical guidance for improving the production quality and land utilization of mushroom facilities.
