Numerical Analysis of Heat Transfer Coupled with Violent Sloshing

Abstract

For the prediction of sloshing phenomena in the propellant tanks of reusable launch vehicle, the dynamic motion of liquid in sub-scale vessels were numerically simulated with the originally developed CFD code, called CIP-LSM. The important features of surface deformation and wave breaking were successfully reproduced in the computation. In addition, as the preliminary investigation, the heat transfer and phase change between gaseous and liquid phase enhanced by violent sloshing were tried to be simulated.
