“…Despite the remarkable strides in hardware technology over the past few decades, simulations remain time-intensively. For instance, the current computational speeds fall short of the desired pace required to run thousands of simulations during optimization processes (Bournet & Rojano, 2022). Artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as another pivotal instrument in software, facilitating the discernment of optimal strategies based on available data.…”

“…The primary advantage of CFD modeling is its ability to replicate real operational conditions, addressing crucial design and operational concerns. This approach facilitates virtual assessments, reducing both time and costs associated with construction and testing (Bournet & Rojano, 2022). For instance, the testing methodology devised by the European Health Engineering and Design Group EHEDG (1992) can validate the cleaning efficiency and design of closed process equipment, albeit being more time‐intensive.…”

In the food industry, ensuring clean production equipment is essential for maintaining product quality and safeguarding consumer health. For optimal geometric cleaning, it is crucial to consider the specific interactions between flow, dirt, and cleaning fluids. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a powerful tool for simulating fluid flow behavior, especially in terms of momentum, mass, and energy transfer. It has been widely used to model elimination processes in food sanitation. The construction of CFD model and the cleaning of food contact surface were explored. Additionally, an overview of existing CFD studies on fouling and cleaning mechanisms was provided in this manuscript. The goal of this review is to discuss the present state of CFD modeling in cleaning soil from surfaces and to offer a valuable reference for food cleaning process.

“…Thus, they can accurately estimate the airflow behavior and temperature distributions within the enclosure [36]. For this reason, CFD models are usually applied to livestock houses to study ventilation, thermal distribution, heat transfer rates, gaseous emissions, and the dispersion of odors and minor contaminants [34,35]. One of the main disadvantages of CFD simulations is that running simulations can be time-consuming and require significant computing resources [37], especially when turbulent flows are analyzed.…”

The need to improve the sustainability of intensive livestock farming has led to an increasing adoption of Building Energy Simulation (BES) models for livestock houses. However, a consolidated body of knowledge specifically dedicated to these models is lacking in literature. This gap represents a significant obstacle to their widespread application and scalability in research and industry. The aim of this work is to pave the way for scaling the adoption of BES models for livestock houses by providing a comprehensive analysis of their application, development, and validation. For this aim, a systematic review of 42 papers—selected from over 795 results from the initial database query—is carried out. The findings underscored a growing body of research that involves BES models for different purposes. However, a common approach in both model development and validation is still lacking. This issue could hinder their scalability as a standard practice, especially in industry, also considering the limitations of BES models highlighted in this work. This review could represent a solid background for future research since provides an up-to-date framework on BES models for livestock houses and identifies future research opportunities. Moreover, it contributes to increasing the reliability of BES models for livestock houses by providing some recommendations for their validation.
