Abstract
This work has the purpose of evaluating the temperature and air velocity distribution in a standard aviary model used for the production of chicken meat using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The results showed that the heat transfer inside the aviary is not uniform. Heat transfer is disadvantageous in the lowest velocity regions, where the highest temperatures are located. The proposal to change ventilation system configuration, modified the airflow, increasing the uniformity of temperatures inside the aviary, and reducing the magnitude of high temperature regions. These results allow to conclude the proposed configuration minimizes the temperature gradient formed in the flow, besides increasing the region for distribution of broilers inside the aviary, improving the thermal comfort of the place.
