Abstract

An enthalpy porosity simulation model is widely used to simulate the solidification process of a Phase Change Material (PCM) with constant density and viscosity. Consequently, numerical inaccuracy may arise in the investigation of the solidification process. Therefore, this study investigates the solidification of lithium chloride (LiCl) as a PCM, incorporating temperature-dependent density and viscosity in the enthalpy porosity model. Furthermore, the computational domain is represented by a concentric pipe, with the LiCl salt assumed to be fully filled within the annulus. The boundary conditions are adiabatic on the outer radius and constant temperature on the inner radius, representing the temperature of the Heat Transfer Fluid (HTF). The simulation results show that the solidification process with temperature-dependent density and viscosity required a total time of 2360 s to complete the solidification process. In addition, the solidification rate is decreased at the beginning of the solidification process and then increased before being decreased at the end of the solidification process. Furthermore, a comparison is conducted with constant density and viscosity. The comparison result shows that the solidification time of temperature-dependent density and viscosity is shorter than the solidification process time of constant density and viscosity with a deviation of 8.5%, indicating the importance of using the temperature-dependent density and viscosity to investigate the solidification time. Conversely, the solidification rate shows a similar tendency, indicating the insignificant effect of using the temperature-dependent density and viscosity to investigate the solidification rate.

Abstract

Utilization of ocean wave energy is one of the renewable energy sources with high potential in Indonesia. The use of Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) has been widely developed by researchers, where the vortex will self-excite to create vibrations. Of course, its efficiency will increase when installed simultaneously to form a row. Wake Induced Vortex (WIV) has greater potential because it adds vibration through a vortex generator in a row of VIVs in the wake area. This study studied the characteristics of the vortex generator that will be used in WIV. The research method used CFD simulation Fluent 2025 with 3-dimensional geometry. The mesh used is 700 thousand in the form of a hexahedral. Independent mesh studies have been conducted so that the number of meshes 700 thousand is the most optimal and does not affect the simulation results. The Y+ value used is 1, so the mesh thickness close to the wall for Re 100,000 is 1 mm. The location of the flow separation greatly affects the vortex structure and shedding frequency of each geometry. Whereas airfoil produces bigger power but it has less frequency shedding than cylinder.
