Numerical model of time-dependent gas flows through bed of granular phase change material. (English) Zbl 07205465

Summary: A novel mathematical model and original numerical method for investigating time-dependent gas flows through a bed of granular phase change material (PCM) are proposed and described in detail. Such material is modeled as a porous medium, and continua mechanics method are used for constructing the mathematical model. The numerical method is based on a combination of explicit and implicit finite-difference schemes. Comparison of calculation results with known experimental data demonstrates a very good coincidence. The results of the study can be applied in modeling the thermal energy storage with granular PCM in advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage and other heat storage devices.
