    Abstract
  • In order to predict the state of spacecraft cryogenic propellant heated on-orbit, a 2D axial Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) computational fluid dynamic model including liquid and gas is established, and the model of phase change is based on the theory which put forward by Lee. As simulation experiments used the liquid nitrogen tank, this article used the liquid nitrogen tank as the object of numerical simulation. The results show that, comparing with the ground condition, the rising rate of the ullage pressure and the pressure value are smaller under the microgravity condition, and the lower the level of gravity, the smaller the rising rate of the ullage pressure and the pressure value. The position and shape of the ullage changes dynamically with surface tension which varies with liquid temperature and the temperature differences in liquid nitrogen zone increase with the gravity reducing.
