Numerical Simulation of Thermal Stratification in Liquid Hydrogen

  • Chapter
Advances in Cryogenic Engineering

Part of the book series: A Cryogenic Engineering Conference Publication ((ACRE,volume 41))

Abstract

This paper presents the results of numerical simulations of thermal stratification in liquid hydrogen as a cryogenic fluid. We used the vorticity-stream function method and correlated the surface temperature with the heat flux, fluid level and time. In addition, the simulation results are compared with experimental data. Key words: cryogenic, thermal stratification, ullage volume
