Design and Optimization of Serve-Over in Concurrent Engineering Using CFD Modelling

Computational fluid dynamic technique (CFD) today is play as a key role in design refrigerated cabinets. It is numerical tool that is widely used to simulate many processes in the food industry. CFD is considered as a viable technique to provide effective and efficient design solutions. This paper deals with the investigation of the flow in two types of cabinets In general The Refrigerated Cabinets energy consumption represents more than 50% of the overall energy consumed in Supermarket. A 2D and 3D investigation of the optimization of energy performance is conducted in this work. The flow simulation inside the cabinet will represent a guide line for the optimization and the reduction of the consumed energy. The actual concurrent engineering demands quick answers. The generated case study represents a step in the development of a standard method of design including real time CFD simulation.
