Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System
In this study, the Enthalpy-Porosity method was employed with ANSYS Fluent whose licenses JSS3 had. In addition, parallel supercomputers of JSS3 was used to obtain the result.
Achievements of the Year
Numerical anlaysis to the experiment conducted by JAXA was performed. In this experiment, the heat storage device was made by a 3D printer using Al-Si10-Mg as a material, and octadecane was used for the phase change material (PCM). It was heated for 18 minutes with an average heat input of 76.6W. CFD was conducted using the Enthalpy-Porosity method and ANSYS fluent was used for the solver. Reasonable agreement with experimetal result was obtained. However, since the prsent model assumed that the phase change proceeds linearly, the temperature change with melting was not accurately simulated. We plan to improve the accuracy of the phase change model by using a user defined function of Fluent.
