ABSTRACT

Natural gas is a recognized green fuel that is colorless, odorless, non-toxic, and non-corrosive. As people around the world pay more and more attention to the atmosphere and ecological environment, humans use natural gas more frequently. This study aims to summarize the existing research results of some LNG ship C-type liquid tanks by studying the problems encountered in the storage and shipping of liquid tanks. Studies have shown that scholars have studied many aspects of liquid tank temperature field calculations at this stage, but they mainly use FLUENT software to calculate and study in the form of steady-state temperature fields. The article concludes that in the future, non-steady-state temperature fields can be used to improve the accuracy of calculations, and the combined effects of multiple coupled fields can be considered. At the same time, different software such as STAR CCM can be used to compare results to make the research results more convincing.
