Large eddy simulation of thermocline flow phenomena and mixing during discharging of an initially homogeneous or stratified storage tank
(2014)This study investigates numerically the flow phenomena developing in the discharging process of a rectangular water tank used for thermal energy storage and how these affect the thermal mixing and the associated energy ...

Numerical simulations of constant-influx gravity currents in confined spaces: Application to thermal storage tanks
(2016)This study uses Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to investigate numerically the flow phenomena in the intrusion region of a thermal storage water tank during discharge. The early times of the discharging process have ...

Steady flow of a two-dimensional film under pressure
(2000)We use finite elements and the full Newton iteration method to solve the steady, two-dimensional flow of a Newtonian planar film, issuing from a slit under a pressure difference between the two free surfaces, in the presence ...

A study of various factors affecting Newtonian extrudate swell
(2012)Finite-element simulations have been undertaken for the benchmark problem of extrudate swell present in extrusion. Both cases of planar and axisymmetric domains were considered under laminar, isothermal, steady-state ...
