The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis allows the study and the possible solution to fluid dynamic problems through the computer. It is used to verify the distribution of temperatures, velocity, pressure, comfort parameters and other fluid properties in a given context and eventually to visualize them through a three-dimensional representation. Here is the CFD analysis of a warehouse to which the WINDOO system has been applied.

An interesting PhD thesis in Agricultural Engineering, presented by Dr. Sandra D’Archivio, entitled “Animal-environment interaction and design criteria for breeding buildings with the purpose of heat stress reduction”. The analysis focuses on some of the most important issues faced by the WINDOO project and therefore is a useful document to frame the interconnection between production and animal welfare.

Ventilation Group. This is how WINDOO was born, as a ventilation group that, together with other groups, forms a complex ventilation system. An innovative idea that represents the first step toward a renewed vision of air conditioning in environments dedicated to animal production and beyond.

Estimates on heat stress relief needs for Holstein dairy cows, Berman, 2005. In this article a mathematical model describes how to measure the temperature threshold including parameters that are not included in the THI, such as, for example, air speed, radiant heat, effects of posture etc.
