Abstract

The invention relates to a method for simulating spray mixing in low-temperature propellant storage boxes, belongs to the field of space transportation overall design, has a background of carrying outlong-time in-orbit evaporation capacity control on low-temperature propellants, and mainly relates to a method for simulating long-time in-orbit storage box pressure control on low-temperature propellants by adoption of a spray mixing manner. For calculation of spray and two-phase flows, a dispersed phase and VOF combined method is adopted to establish a computational fluid mechanics simulation model for spray mixing in low-temperature propellant storage boxes; results obtained through the method is favorably identical with experiment results; compared with simple lumped parameter models, themethod is capable of predicting fluid forms, temperature changes and heat exchange trends in the storage boxes; and through the method, simulation design can be carried out on the spray mixing underdifferent flows, flow velocities and spouting temperatures, and a spray mixing optimization scheme is brought to make a contribution to improve long-time in-orbit low-temperature propellant storage box pressure ability and realizing a long-time in-orbit evaporation capacity control technology for engineering.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a simulation method for spray mixing in a low-temperature propellant storage tank, and belongs to the technical field of overall design of aerospace vehicles. Background technique [0002] Cryogenic propellants refer to liquid propellants with a boiling point lower than 112K at atmospheric pressure, such as liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, methane, etc. Cryogenic propellants have the advantages of high specific impulse performance, non-toxic and non-polluting, but low-temperature propellants have a low boiling point, are easily vaporized by heat, and are difficult to store. Urgent needs. The third sub-stage of my country's future heavy rockets uses liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen propellants. The long-term on-orbit time requirement for low-temperature propellants is 5 days, in which the evaporation of liquid oxygen is required to be less than 0.17% per day, and the evaporation of liquid hydrogen is required to be less than 2....
