In recent years, with the rapid growth of potato demand, potato storage has become extremely important. It is vital that controls the ambient temperature and wind speed during potato storage. Therefore, this work simulated the temperature field and air flow organization in a potato storage using the underfloor air supply. The established computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was used to study the temperature field and airflow organization in the warehouse under different air supply parameters, and compared the results to get their change rule. On this basis, the influence of the underfloor air supply on the flow field was studied to verify its feasibility. The results show that under reasonable conditions, the underfloor air supply can effectively guarantee the required temperature and airflow organization.
