Spatio-temporal disruption of thermocline by successive laminar vortex pairs in a single tank thermal energy storage

The stratification efficiency of single tank thermal energy storage is affected by the internal mixing processes, especially in the thermocline region due to disturbances of different kinds. To study the mixing dynamics at the interface, we have conducted detailed numerical and supporting experiment...
