Abstract

The subject of this paper is the application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for the modelling of the internal climate of a commercial multi-span Venlo-type glasshouse containing tomato crops.
The step-by-step process to build a comprehensive glasshouse model is summarised and examples of typical results are presented.
A good agreement of predictions with available experimental data was found.
Along with the latest results from the authors leading edge research programme, the aim of which is the development of a fully three-dimensional model of a full-scale commercial multi-span Venlo-type glasshouse, the future of CFD in glasshouse research is briefly discussed.
