Numerical solution of multiple front phase change problems for modeling ice thermal storage systems
Phase change problems with multiple fronts in cylindrical systems, which arise in ice-on-pipe brine thermal energy storage systems, are investigated in this study. Two numerical methods, the boundary element method ( BEM ) and the thermal network method ( TNM ), are developed to solve the multiple f...
