The use of CFD to characterize and design post-harvest storage facilities: Past, present and future

► This article review the recent CFD approaches in post-harvest storage facilities. ► Airflow, heat and mass transfer in different post-harvest applications are considered. ► New trends and directions for future research are presented. ► There is progress towards using CFD on detailed geometrical models of products and packages. ► We are at the advent of a true multiscale approach to CFD simulation of post-harvest systems.
