Description
Summary:In order to research the influence of the guide vane on liquid transmission performance in a tank under microgravity, simulation analysis was carried out with FLOW-3D software. Firstly, it compared the working condition under the charging rate of 10% with the corresponding experiment results of the drop tower and validated the correctness of the simulation process. And then it changed the structure parameters of the guide vane, researched the influence of different quantity, gap and thickness on climbing rate of liquid, and analyzed the causing reasons of these effects in-depth. This paper provided a reference for the design of internal guiding vane of microgravity tank.
