Abstract

The management of cold storage chain is an important part of the management of supply chain and logistics. The development of Chinese cold storage chain logistics is relatively backward, which affects the food industry seriously. Cold store play an important role in cold storage chain logistics. The field flow is the key technological parameter in cold store. A three dimensional mathematical model is established to study the flow field distribution inside a cold store. And the results are testified by experiments. Both the flow field characteristics and the effect of flow field on food storage are revealed. The results will provide an important help on the technical management of cold storage chain logistics in China.
