The computational fluid dynamics(CFD)was used to investigate the pressurization process of cryogenic liquid oxygen tank including the open parking and pre-pressurization stages in the ground parking before launch. The tank pressure change
liquid-vapor phase change and fluid thermal stratification were analyzed in detail. The present CFD model was proven to have effective prediction ability in comparison with the experimental results. The results showed that under the external heat leakage
the intensive boiling phase change occurred in the tank with a large amount of gas bubbles moving upwards in the fluid during the ground open parking stage. As the heat used to generate phase change became less and mainly from the external heat leakage
the phase change intensity became weak and tended to stable in about 150 s
with the phase change focused on the interface. The total evaporation loss was about 6.88 kg for 250 s ground open parking. When the cryogenic liquid oxygen tank was locked and the ground pre-pressurization started
the tank pressure fluctuated between the maximum and minimum pressure limits. As the ullage was superheated and the liquid was subcooled
the ullage condensation appeared in the whole pre-pressurization process. With the high temperature gas injecting into the tank
the ullage mass presented fluctuation change
with the value increasing from 15.84 kg to 27.27 kg. While the liquid mass displayed an almost linear increasing tendency
and rose from 12 243.10 kg to 12 303.95 kg. An obvious thermal stratification appeared in the liquid region below the liquid-vapor interface
while the ullage was largely influenced by the injection gas with some disturbances.
