TLDR
In this paper, a review of the phase change materials (PCM) and their application in energy storage is presented, where the main advantages of encapsulation are providing large heat transfer area, reduction of the PCMs reactivity towards the outside environment and controlling the changes in volume of the storage materials as phase change occurs.About:

Lattice Boltzmann simulation of convection melting in complex heat storage systems filled with phase change materials
TL;DR: In this article, a double population lattice Boltzmann method is applied to the simulation of convection-diffusion phenomena associated with solid-liquid phase transition processes, and a comprehensive analysis has been performed in order to investigate the influence of various numbers and arrangements of tubes on the melting dynamics of shell and tube models with different Rayleigh and Stefan numbers.
