A virtual prototyping approach for redesigning the vent-holes of packaging for handling pomegranate fruit – A short communication

In a previous study, experimental analysis and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling were used to analyse the cooling performances of two corrugated fibreboard package designs (CT1 and CT2) for handling pomegranate fruit. In these analyses, the performance of the CT1 carton was shown to be low compared to the CT2 carton in terms of cooling rate, cooling uniformity and energy usage. The low performance of the CT1 carton was attributed to...
