Description

The project objective has been to develop and justify the OpenFOAM model for the simulation of a TES tank. In
the course of the project we have obtained scalability results, which are presented in this paper. Scalability tests
have been performed on HLRS Hermit HPC system using various combinations of decomposition methods, cell
capacities and number of physical cpu cores.
