MSCA: SHINE Database

Project 101145914 — SHINE has received funding withing the MSCA framework. The purpose of this project is to construct a generic model describing the solidification-melting process of ultra-high temperature latent heat thermal energy storage systems based on data-driven analysis and rigorous CFD models. Within the project a database has been created based on simulations by using a 2D CFD model. The present dataset contains information of FeSiB alloy solidification-melting close to 1250 oC (but also aluminium for comparison) inside a cylindrical container, under various heating conditions. This database contains versioning and will be enhanced by including a wide variety of 1. metallic-based PCMs, 2. Geometry shapes and dimensions, 3. Operating conditions, 4. Boundary conditions, 5. Modelling strategies (e.g. reduced order models vs. full order models), 6. Phenomena tested (e.g., convection vs. conduction)
