A modified evaporative wicking model based on the isothermal porous-continuum model is proposed to investigate the liquid wicking management performance of screen channel liquid acquisition devices(LADs)for cryogenic liquid hydrogen propellant. The model takes the thermal effects of both the solid screen and the vapor environment into account and is verified by the liquid nitrogen data of a superheated wicking experiment. For the vertical wicking processes with normal gravity
the development information of wicking velocity and wicking height of saturated liquid hydrogen in Dutch Twill weaves(DTW)with three woven densities(200×1 400
325×2 300 and 510×3 600)are obtained under isothermal and superheated conditions. The thermal effects of screen solid and gas region on the cryogenic wicking performance are compared. Results show that under isothermal condition
the sparser the screen density is
the higher the wicking velocity and the smaller the maximal wicking height bec
