Thermo-fluid dynamic modeling and simulation of a bioclimatic solar greenhouse with self-cleaning and photovoltaic glasses

In particular a model was created, initially conceived in 2D and currently developed in 3D, which reproduces the thermo-fluid dynamic behavior of an experimental greenhouse in the Solaria complex. The possibility of changing parameters characterizing materials and climatic conditions allowed to appreciate the influence on energy performance of special reinforced thermal insulation, solar control glasses and external sliding sunshades. A further added value is the possibility to simulate an organic thin-film photovoltaic device of nanometric thickness.
