Numerical simulations of the airflows in a wine-aging room: A lattice Boltzmann-Immersed Boundary study

Indoor air temperature monitoring: A method lending support to management and design tested on a wine-aging room

“…In 2012, a collaboration was established between the research group and the farm. The collaboration has aimed at the functional optimization and energy efficiency of the wine-making process [15] based on data surveys [16], experimental calibrations [10] and computer simulations [17]. The farm is located in the eastern part of the Emilia Romagna Region where viticulture and fruit farming are widespread and consolidated activities.…”

Performance assessment of thermal simulation approaches of wine storage buildings based on experimental calibration

“…In particular the comparison between real values and digital simulation results obtained through different modeling approaches on typical study cases can provide information about the most realistic and effective methodology of analysis [16,17]. This work is a part of a broader research that aims at defining optimized building design criteria for farm wineries, in terms of functional design [18,19], landscape integration [20], and energy efficiency [21]. The goal of this study is the identification of an effective and efficient modeling approach suitable for the common typologies of wine storage buildings.…”

Effects of different architectural solutions on the thermal behaviour in an unconditioned rural building. The case of an Italian winery

“…Previous studies (De Rosis et al, 2014;Tinti et al, 2014;Barbaresi et al, 2015a;Verdecchia et al, 2016) allowed to use the energy model of an Italian winery as base model for the present work. The model was calibrated and validated on experimental data on an existing winery (Barbaresi et al, 2017).…”
