Abstract

The chapter discussed the change of the airflow distribution in poultry housing after installing windshields in summer. We have analyzed the temperature and speed in the poultry housing with windshield by the software Airpak. We got the conclusion through the temperature field and speed field of the poultry housing with windshield in comparison with that in a common longitudinal ventilation poultry housing. The chapter also made a research on an optimized installation height of the wind shield and compared the air distribution when the windshield installation height is 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0 m, respectively. The application of windshield can significantly increase the wind speed and reduce the poultry housing temperature. And the numerical simulation proved that the appropriate installation height should be 1.8 m.
