Modelling of the air flow in beef carcass dry-sweating premises.
Modélisation de l'aéraulique d'un local de ressuage de carcasses de boeuf.

Summary
This article reports on application of the "fluid mechanics" digital tool (code Fluent/UNS 4.2) in beef-carcass dry-sweating premises for which operating defects had been experimentally diagnosed. The effects of several parameters (increased air flow and/or changes in air-flow direction) were measured. It was shown that raising air flow alone did not make it possible to raise air flow in the second section of the equipment. The influence of air-flow direction was demonstrated. The desired results can be achieved by optimizing these two parameters.
