Methods of mathematical and computer simulation of the 
microclimate in storehouses for juicy agricultural raw material are 
suggested. The calculation algorithms developed allow one to determine 
the aerodynamic and temperature-moisture characteristics with 
account for natural convection and arbitrary shape of storehouses 
in order to optimize the storing of biological products.
