Large-eddy simulation of free-end effects on flow around a full-scale subsea hydrogen storage accumulator

Key Points

• Flow dynamics show significant variations driven by free-end effects in the hydrogen storage accumulator.
• The large-eddy simulation indicates turbulence characteristics impacting flow behavior around the structure.
• Analysis using advanced fluid dynamics models assesses the complex interactions in subsea environments.
• Understanding these effects is crucial for optimizing hydrogen storage solutions, particularly for energy transitions.
