Temperature field simulation using CFD in the plant factory

Abstract

This experiment was developed by Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology. A three-dimensional model was conducted for an indoor artificial light plant factory to simulate the temperature field distribution. The results showed that the average absolute error of simulated temperature and measured temperature was 0.7C, and the average relative error was 3%. The growth indexes of Brassica chinensis in the artificial light plant factory were measured. The uniformity of airflow field in the cultivation area should be further studied for the structural optimization of the plant factory.
