ABSTRACT: The present report was made according to the implementation of “Fluent: Case 0”1 of the NewSol Project (Grant nº 720985). The Ansys computational package software was used for the conducted simulations. A 2D geometry symmetrical at the middle axis was constructed. Several meshes were both made and simulated for the minimum computational cost. For simplicity of the problem and at this early stage of development of the model, the ullage space was taken to be filled with HTF (Heat Transfer Fluid). Although HTF fills the ullage space in the tank, this is not in good agreement with the condition described in Case 0 which considers air as the medium. All the simulations were performed with steady state conditions. However, in the future transient state would be used.
