The storage or retrieval of energy occurs through the heating or cooling of either a liquid or a solid, without undergoing a phase change, within a sensible heat storage system. In a sensible packed bed thermal energy storage system, the structure comprises porous media that form the packed solid material, while fluid occupies the voids. Thus, a cavity, partially filled with a fluid layer and partially with a saturated porous layer, has become important in the investigation of natural convection heat transfer, carrying significant relevance within thermal energy storage systems.
