Abstract
Spoilage of agrifood produce is a major issue in the industry. Cooling is an effective technique for extending the shelf life of fresh agrifood produce to minimize spoilage. Due to the practical inability of directly solving the wide spatial and temporal scales in large industrial agrifood cooling systems, the porous medium approach is mostly used. However, improvements of current porous medium models and modeling across much wider scales are needed to better understand the multiscale cooling process and system problems. Recently, as a result of increased computational capacity, multiscale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling approaches have been developed to tackle some of these challenges. The associated problems and applications of CFD in the design and process optimization of cooling processes and systems at different scales are considered. CFD solution and scale bridging techniques relevant for handling multiscale cooling processes and systems problems are discussed. Innovative applications of various CFD modeling techniques at different scales in cooling processes and systems are reviewed. CFD modeling techniques can be used to handle multiscale cooling process and system problems. Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is a potentially viable discrete modeling technique for complimentary usages alongside current continuum techniques in future multiscale CFD modeling. The multiscale CFD modeling paradigm can overcome the computational resource limitations associated with the direct modeling approach and enhance model extension across wider spatial and temporal scales. Information from multiscale CFD could be used to improve the accuracy of current porous medium models, and thus the design of more efficient cooling systems.
