Abstract
The paper is the second in a series of four which describe a three-year research project into advanced fabric-energy-storage (FES) systems. It presents the construction and validation of a computational-fluid-dynamics (CFD) model of the 'FES-slab' which is subsequently used to investigate the slab's behaviour under a variety of boundary conditions and with modified air paths. Similar models are used to compare the FES-slab with the competing 'generic slab' and 'hollow-core screed' advanced FES systems.
