Helium Pressurization Modeling of the EDU Submerged Diffuser Using Thermal Desktop

Abstract: NASA is currently working on developing its predictive modeling capabilities to support future missions that require long term storage of cryogenic propellants. Through the Evolvable Cryogenics project, Development and Validation of Analysis Tools (DVAT) task, both CFD and multi-node fluid modeling tools are being validated against to increase the following cryogenic fluid management technologies: Self-Pressurization, Pressure Control, Helium Pressurization, de-stratification, jet mixing, Tan…
