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 ...

Large eddy simulations of turbulent mixed convection in the charging of a rectangular thermal storage tank
(2013)The Large Eddy Simulation (LES) approach is used to investigate numerically the mixed convection problem arising during the charging process of a rectangular water tank used for thermal energy storage. Two different charging ...

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 ...
