The need for energy transition became increasingly important, pushing players in the field to look into different subjects relating to energy production and use. The energy storage sector was no exception, and research projects into compressed air or hydrogen storage in salt caverns came into being. Within these projects, storage often involves high injection and withdrawal flow rates. This means that pressure (and temperature) variations at the cavern walls take place very quickly and "injection-withdrawal" operating cycles are very frequent.
