Experimental characterization of airflow inside a refrigerated trailer loaded with carcasses

Experimental investigation was carried out in order to characterize airflow distribution in a reduced-scale trailer loaded with reduced-scale polyurethane carcass models. Velocity measurements were conducted using 2D-LDV all around the carcasses. This made it possible to deduce the flow pattern and the order of magnitude of the velocity inside the region occupied by the carcasses.
