Italian wine is usually considered to be a specialized skill, the result of a long tradition, and perhaps incompatible with modern industrial production. On the contrary, modern wine industry has emerged in Italy, retaining the excellent quality for which Italian wines are famous. One aspect crucial to maintaining quality is the filling process. The goal is to guarantee high speed bottling without risking damage to the quality of the product. Oxygen, contained in the air trapped inside the bottled product is the main cause of degradation of wine over time. We simulated the thermofluid dynamics of the injection process of inert gas for bottles of different shapes, with the aim of determining the optimal parameters for the best conservation of the wine, with minimum consumption of inert gas.

Abstract
Italian wine is usually considered to be a specialized skill, the result of a long tradition, and perhaps incompatible with modern industrial production. On the contrary, modern wine industry has emerged in Italy, retaining the excellent quality for which Italian wines are famous. One aspect crucial to maintaining quality is the filling process. The goal is to guarantee high speed bottling without risking damage to the quality of the product. Oxygen, contained in the air trapped inside the bottled product is the main cause of degradation of wine over time. We simulated the thermofluid dynamics of the injection process of inert gas for bottles of different shapes, with the aim of determining the optimal parameters for the best conservation of the wine, with minimum consumption of inert gas.Pubblicazioni consigliate
