The dynamic behavior of heat transfer induced by flow of the storage tank during the storage process was investigated using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach, with the target of the liquid CO2 storage tank in a CO2 injection station in an oilfield. The flow field distribution outside the tank was simulated, exhibiting the patterns of air flow near the tank wall. The effect of progressive cooling leakage in the tank under various conditions was determined through simulation of the dynamic of flow heat transfer under various storage settings, with the result indicating that tank pressure has a beneficial effect on cooling capacity. The medium level, on the other hand, had a negative impact on cooling capacity. Finally, the impact of environmental variables on fluid loss was evaluated. This finding supports the safety and cost-benefit analysis of liquid CO2 storage systems.
Key words: liquid CO2 / computational fluid dynamics / cryogenic storage tank / dynamic behavior
