This paper presents open challenges and perspectives of propellant management for
crewed deep space exploration. The most promising propellants are liquid hydrogen and …

In this work, we numerically analyze different thermocapillary-based strategies for active
control of sloshing in microgravity. The fluid system considered is an open rectangular …

The present work describes the development of a novel fully compressible solver for two-
phase flows with liquid-vapour phase change. Phase change phenomena in compressible …

The ghost fluid method (GFM) provides a simple way to simulate the interaction of
immiscible materials. Especially, the modified GFM (MGFM) and its variants, based on the …

Numerical simulations are used to analyze the dynamics of a free surface excited by thermal
modulations at the lateral boundaries that generate a time-dependent thermocapillary flow …

The development of numerical solvers able to simulate compressible two-phase flows is still
a great challenge in computational fluid dynamics. The interaction between acoustic waves …

We numerically investigate the effect on sloshing in microgravity of systems with passive,
moving baffles whose motion is restricted by linear springs. The liquid is assumed to have …

Understanding and controlling nucleate pool boiling phenomena in zero gravity conditions
is fundamental for space applications. An analytical model for the equilibrium radius …

Liquid sloshing in storage tanks is of critical concern for the fluid management in space. In
the present study, oscillation of liquid in a partially filled capsule storage tank was …

The oscillation of liquid/gas free surface in a partially filled storage tank caused by an abrupt
drop of gravity level is of critical importance for the fluid management in space. In the present …
