Numerical study of the influences of geometry orientation on phase change material's melting process
The acceleration of the melting process of phase change materials caused by buoyancy-driven natural convection has been widely acknowledged, especially for rectangular geometries. This acceleration phenomenon exists in the cases where phase change materials are heated at the bottom boundary or at bo...
