CFD optimization of large water storages for efficient cooling of high power intermittent thermal loads

The design optimization of water basins for the refrigeration of intermittent high-power heat sources, by mean of CFD simulations, is presented. A case study of an experimental facility is considered, that foreseen two large water basins as thermal storage, with volume of 315 m3 and 500 m3 respectiv...
