Coupled thermal dynamic performance in cryogenic liquid oxygen tank under slosh excitation
The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique is used to investigate the thermal-dynamic coupled process in cryogenic liquid oxygen tank under the slosh excitations. The influences of the external environmental heat leak and the phase change occurring on the liquid-vapor interface are considered in detail. The slosh force
fluid slosh momentum
tank pressure
and fluid temperature distribution in tank caused by the external excitation are analyzed. The results show that both the slosh force suffered by tank and fluid slosh momentum have reducing trends with fluctuations under the external sinusoidal excitation. Influenced by the external slosh
the connection area between the subcooled liquid and the superheated vapor increases
so the superheated vapor is greatly cooled by the liquid
and the tank pressure decreases almost linearly with time. As for the fluid temperature monitors
while they are close to the liquid-vapor interface
the fluid sloshing has an obvious effect on the variation of monitors' temperature. In general
the temperature distribution in the tank is formed with the high temperature region in upper and low temperature region in bottom
and the high temperature in the external region and the low temperature in the interior. While as located on the top of tank
the vapor test points have a large temperature fluctuation
influenced by the top dished-head. For the bottom liquid temperature monitors
their values are larger than parts of liquid test points' temperature
with the direct heat transfer from the bottom dished-head wall.
