TL;DR: In this article, a thermal network model is developed and used to analyze heat transfer in a high temperature latent heat thermal energy storage unit for solar thermal electricity generation, where the benefits of inserting multiple heat pipes between a heat transfer fluid and a phase change material (PCM) are of interest.
217 citations
TL;DR: The thermal network approach is a robust engineering tool that is easy to implement and program, is user friendly, straightforward, computationally efficient, and serves as a baseline methodology to produce results of reasonable accuracy.
198 citations
TL;DR: In this article, heat pipe effectiveness is defined and used to quantify the relative performance of heat pipe-assisted and fin-assisted configurations to situations involving neither heat pipes nor fins, while the fins are not as effective.
191 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a finite volume approach, utilizing the temperature-transforming model for phase change, is used to predict the conjugate heat transfer in the cavity walls and fins, as well as within the molten PCM.

TL;DR: First the freefem++ software deals with mesh adaptation for problems in two and three dimension, second, it solves numerically a problem with phase change and natural convection, and finally to show the possibilities for HPC the software solves a Laplace equation by a Schwarz domain decomposition problem on parallel computer.
Abstract: This is a short presentation of the freefem++ software. In Section 1, we recall most of the characteristics of the software, In Section 2, we recall how to to build the weak form of a partial differential equation (PDE) from the strong form. In the 3 last sections, we present different examples and tools to illustrated the power of the software. First we deal with mesh adaptation for problems in two and three dimension, second, we solve numerically a problem with phase change and natural convection, and the finally to show the possibilities for HPC we solve a Laplace equation by a Schwarz domain decomposition problem on parallel computer.
