Academician Sun Dawen: The latest research progress in the cooling application of multi-scale computational fluid dynamics.

On September 8th, Dr. Sun Dawen of South China University of Technology published an online article, "Recent advances in multiscale CFD modelling of the cooling processes and systems for the agrifood industry", which systematically describes the latest advances in the modeling of computational fluid dynamics (Computational Fluids, CFD) in agricultural cooling. Sun Dawen of South China University of Technology is the only communication author of this paper.
recently, as computing power has improved, multi-scale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling methods have been greatly developed to meet these challenges. This review covers the problems and applications of CFDs in design and process optimization at different scales, discusses CFD solutions and scale briding methods for dealing with multi-scale cooling processes and system problems, and summarizes the innovative applications of cfD modeling methods in cooling processes and systems at different scales.
review points out that CFD modeling techniques can be used to deal with multi-scale cooling processes and system problems; LBM) as a potentially feasible discrete modeling method, can complement the existing continuous media method for multi-scale CFD modeling, multi-scale CFD model can overcome the computational resource limitations associated with direct modeling methods and enhance the expansion of the model on a wider spatial and time scale, and information from multi-scale CFDs can be used to improve the accuracy of existing porous media models, thus helping to design more effective cooling systems.
