I-Photovoltaics, njengobuchwepheshe obuqondile bokuguqula ukukhanya kwelanga kube ugesi, inamandla amakhulu okubhekana nezinkinga zemvelo ezikhula njalo kanye nesifiso sokunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwezinto ezimbiwa phansi. Ukuzinza okushisayo kwama-photovoltaics kuyinkinga enkulu lapho kucatshangelwa ukuhweba ngezinga elikhulu ngaphansi kwezimo lapho ukuwohloka kwedivayisi ngokusebenza kwezinga lokushisa eliphezulu kungenzeka. Izinto zokushintsha isigaba (ama-PCM) zithembisa kakhulu ekuphathweni okushisayo kwamadivayisi anjalo ngenxa yokushisa kwawo okuphezulu okucashile kanye nezindawo zokudlulisa ukushisa ezingokwemvelo. Kodwa-ke, inselele enkulu ekusebenziseni ama-PCM ku-photovoltaics ekufinyeleleni amandla aphezulu ngenkathi kugcinwa amandla aphezulu, ikakhulukazi ngokuma okuhlukile kwedivayisi ye-photovoltaic. Kulo msebenzi, izici zokudlulisa ukushisa eziguqukayo ze-PCM eyinhlanganisela enegwebu lensimbi elishumekiwe zifundwa ngokuhlelekile ngemodeli ye-pore-scale lattice Boltzmann. Kutholakala ukuthi izinga lokuncibilika lama-PCM ahlanganisiwe liyancipha ngokuphawulekayo ekuncibilikeni kwesigaba sekwephuzile, okushiya isifunda se-PCM eqinile ("indawo efile") isikhathi eside. Ukuze kubhekwane nalolu daba, siphakamisa ukwakheka okukhethekile, okungeyona into efanayo ye-PCM eyinhlanganisela ene-porosity ehlukile endaweni efile kunakwenye indawo. Izinga lokuncibilika, ukuminyana kwamandla, nokuminyana kwamandla kwe-PCM eyinhlanganisela kungathuthukiswa kakhulu ngokuhlanganisa ukuqina kwegwebu lensimbi eliyinhlanganisela. Isibonelo, ngenombolo ye-Fourier engu-0.30, ukuminyana kwamandla ekesi eline-porosity yendawo efile engu-0.80 ingaphezulu ngo-6.8% kunaleyo ene-dead zone porosity engu-0.95. Lo msebenzi uhlinzeka ngesu elisebenzayo ekusebenziseni ama-PCM ekulawuleni okushisayo kwama-photovoltaics futhi uvula indlela eya ekuthuthukiseni amandla okugcina amandla wama-PCM ngaphansi kwezimo ezihlukahlukene zokusebenza.
