In storage vessels filled with cryogenic liquids thermal destratification can be effectively done by the continuous supply of bubble movements. Therefore, the pressure builds up subsequent blasting of such containers can be avoided and cryogenic storage vessels can be used safely. The Volume of Fluid (VOF) approach is utilized in the current computational analysis to examine the safety precautions, dynamics of bubble creation, and subsequent collapse of the free liquid surface in both vertically and horizontally aligned rectangular containers.
