Performance of a compressed-air energy storage pile under …
Fig. 2 shows finite element meshes and boundary conditions employed in our axisymmetric numerical analysis. The CAES pile was assumed to be a steel pipe pile with a diameter (D) of 508 mm (20 in), a length (L p) of 20 m (65.6 ft), and a wall thickness (t w) of 12.7 mm (0.5 in).) of 12.7 mm (0.5 in).
