Abstract
Multi-walled storage tanks may include a pressure vessel having an inner volume surrounded by an inner shell. An outer shell may surround the inner shell, and a vacuum chamber may be present between the inner shell and the outer shell. The inner shell may have at least one concave surface, and/or the outer shell may have at least one concave surface. The concave surfaces may be locally and/or globally concave. The inner shell may include one or more lobes formed in the inner shell. Such multi-walled storage tanks may provide more weight-, drag-, and/or space-efficient storage, such as storage of alternative fuels such as cryogenic fuels.
