Shading effects on a ground

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Greetings.
My project deals with shading effects on the ground. I am required to find the effect of the shade cloth like PE cloth on a farming field, and model the temperature, wind, humidity and other distributions with and without the shade cloth. I wouldn't know if I can do this in COMSOL or if I switch to opensource like OpenFoam. How shall I proceed? Are there any papers / articles related to them.


Thanks a lot

Sure!
As a starting point, see www.comsol.com/blogs/solar-radiation-how-engineers-can-stay-cool-on-the-beach/. Solar radiation is a capability available in the Heat Transfer Module, see www.comsol.com/model/sun-s-radiation-effect-on-two-coolers-placed-under-a-parasol-12825 and www.comsol.com/heat-transfer-module .
Best regards,

greetings!
I would like to know if a similar example is available in 4.4 version, since the selection is different in 5.1 and 4.4
