A two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model of a refrigerated display case.

Summary

The discomfort caused by the cold air overspill from vertical refrigerated display cases in supermarkets is widely accepted as being a problem to customers. This, together with the admverse effect on case performance caused by heat and moisture transfer across the air curtain, suggests that there may be room for improvement in the design and fundamental operation of these display fixtures. The paper presents a two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model of a vertical dairy display case that could be used in the design and optimization of such equipment.
