Description
Description
Storage Tank is a device that contains liquids or compressed gases for different aims such as thermal, time, and velocity purposes.
A container can hold the fluid for short or long terms and in hot or cold thermal conditions.
In this project, a square-shaped storage tank is modeled. The water is in a 300 k thermal condition while there are two inlets underneath the tank, with different temperatures. The Temperature of input flows to control the outlet temperature located above the tank.
Two inlets mix, and their temperature and velocity affect each other.
The 2.5D geometry of the solution is modeled in Design Modeler software. Also, the meshing process is done in ANSYS Meshing software. The elements type is Structured and their number is 10100.
Methodology: Storage Tank CFD Simulation with ANSYS CFX
Heat Transfer is captured by Thermal Energy option and the turbulence model is k-Epsilon with Scalable Wall Function.
The Advection Scheme and Turbulence Numerics is set to High Resolution.
Results
Water pressure, temperature, Eddy viscosity, and velocity-related two-dimensional contours and vectors are obtained at the end of the solution procedure in CFD-Post software.
Water flow initially comes from the inlet face and travels quickly to the output face. The figures prove that both flows tend to mix and have a central outlet direction, and has an impact on their temperature and velocity.
Additionally, fluid enters the duct at high pressure and exits with gauge pressure of zero.

The storage tank simulation sounds quite comprehensive. Was the effect of thermal stratification considered in this model, given the different temperatures of the inlets?
MR CFD Support –
Yes, the effect of thermal stratification can indeed influence the behavior of the storage tank, especially when dealing with fluids with varying inlet temperatures. In the simulation, the k-Epsilon turbulence model and High-Resolution Advection Scheme are used to accurately capture temperature gradients and mixing effects, which would include thermal stratification phenomena.
