Abstract
An analysis of the distributed climate in a bi-span tunnel type greenhouse equipped with fine mesh insect proof screens and crop inside is numerically investigated. The present study involves natural ventilation and convective mode of heat transfer in a particular greenhouse design. The results for the air flow and temperature distributions are presented for various external wind speed and temperatures in both 2D and 3D .The complete modeling and mesh generation is obtained using Gambit and analyzed using Ansys Fluent CFD code. The present study is expected to be useful for greenhouse manufacturers to improve greenhouse designs and the horticulturists for better understanding the greenhouse climate and its control.
