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.

Measuring Device for Air Speed in Macroporous Media and Its Application Inside Apple Storage Bins. SENSORS 2018; 18:s18020576.

Abstract
In cold storage facilities of fruit and vegetables, airflow is necessary for heat removal. The design of storage facilities influences the air speed in the surrounding of the product. Therefore, knowledge about airflow next to the product is important to plan the layout of cold stores adapted to the requirements of the products. A new sensing device (ASL, Air speed logger) is developed for omnidirectional measurement of air speed between fruit or vegetables inside storage bins or in bulk. It consists of four interconnected plastic spheres with 80 mm diameter each, adapted to the size of apple fruit. In the free space between the spheres, silicon diodes are fixed for the airflow measurement based on a calorimetric principle. Battery and data logger are mounted inside the spheres. The device is calibrated in a wind tunnel in a measuring range of 0–1.3 m/s. Air speed measurements in fruit bulks on laboratory scale and in an industrial fruit store show air speeds in gaps between fruit with high stability at different airflow levels. Several devices can be placed between stored products for determination of the air speed distribution inside bulks or bin stacks in a storage room.
