    Abstract
  • With the advancement of aerospace technology and the increasing complexity of space exploration missions, it is increasingly common to require multiple shutdowns and restarts of liquid rocket engines, and correspondingly, the requirements for propellant management systems are becoming increasingly rigorous. During shutdown coasting, the level of gravity in the reservoir decreases and capillary forces begin to dominate. The liquid propellant may break away from the discharge port under the capillary force, which allows the propellant supplied to the engine to entrap gas, resulting in ignition failure. To ensure that the engine can be restarted after experiencing free flight, it is necessary to consider how the gas-liquid interface inside the propellant tank responds to gravity and acceleration jumps. In this paper, the propagation of gas-liquid interfacial wave under different values of the Bond number is numerically simulated for commonly used configurations and sizes of space propellant tanks, and the mechanism of the propagation of interfacial wave under different values of the Bond number is investigated. Finally, It is found that the propagation velocity of interfacial waves in a storage tank increases with the Bond number, and the scaling law between the Froude number and the Bond number in the range of the Bo numbers from 1 to 5000 is obtained to characterize the propagation of interfacial wave.
