摘要：Plant factory is the senior form of modern agri-culture. Plant factory were widely used in scientific research and actualproduction due to their high-pre-cision control, high-efficient land utilization, water-saving, fertilizer and pollution-free. This study sum-marized the research progress of the plant factory from three main aspects: the development of the plant factory industry, the environmental regulation for plant growth, the application of computer fluid simulation technology in plant factory. With the in-depth research of scholars and development of econ-omy, the plant factory has received extensive atten-tion in many countries. Worldwide, the present envi-ronmental control technologies include the regula-tion of temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide in plant factory. These technologies are relatively ma-ture and can meet the requirements of scientific re-search and actual production. Computational Fluid Dynamics technology was widely used in agriculture, and mainly focuses on the simulation of microcli-mate in solar greenhouses, particularly the ventila-tion. The position, quantity, and angle of the inlet and outlet were taken as the entry points for most studies to the ventilation simulation for plant factory. This study aims to provide useful information for further research on environmental regulation ofplant factory.
