Reply To: Simulation of a storage in a lake – Which tool should be used?

[toni.calabrese]

For practical reasons, it seems that the storage probably should be placed on the surface of the lake. This means that the top of the storage will be in contact with the air and the walls and bottom will be within the lake. Based on your suggestion the simplest approach will be to model only the storage and the volume of water around the storage. In order to take into account also the thermal losses through the top, your idea would be to set a constant temperature for the air but avoid to have also a domain that represetns the air above the storage. Right?
