A partitioned fluid-structure interaction solver for two-phase sloshing and flexible spacecraft dynamics
Umberto Zucchelli, Miguel Alfonso Mendez, Annafederica Urbano +3
This paper presents a high-fidelity direct numerical simulation (DNS)-fluid-structure interaction (FSI) framework for rigid-liquid-flexible spacecraft dynamics under microgravity c…
Physics-integrated neural network modeling of heat and mass transfer in cryogenic liquid storage under static and dynamic conditions
Pedro Afonso Marques, Samuel Akatchi Ahizi, Miguel Alfonso Mendez
Accurate system-level prediction of cryogenic liquid storage remains challenging because reduced-order models rely on regime-dependent closures for unresolved heat and mass transfe…
Closed-loop control of sloshing fuel in a spinning spacecraft
Umberto Zucchelli, Miguel Alfonso Mendez, Annafederica Urbano +3
New-generation space missions require satellites to carry substantial amounts of liquid propellant, making it essential to analyse the coupled control-structure-propellant dynamics…
Experimental Characterization of Non-Isothermal Sloshing in Microgravity
Francisco Monteiro, Pedro Marques, Alessia Simonini +2
Sloshing of cryogenic liquid propellants can significantly impact a spacecraft's mission safety and performance by unpredictably altering the center of mass and producing large pre…
Capillary driven flows in microgravity
Domenico Fiorini, Alessia Simonini, Johan Steelant +2
This work investigates the capillary rise dynamics of highly wetting liquids in a divergent U-tube in the microgravity conditions provided by 78th European Space Agency (ESA) parab…
Dynamic wetting experiment with nitrogen in a quasi-capillary tube
Domenico Fiorini, Alessia Simonini, Johan Steelant +2
This work investigates the wetting dynamics of cryogenic fluids in inertia-dominated conditions. We experimentally characterized an oscillating gas-liquid interface of liquid nitro…
Effect of inertia on the dynamic contact angle in oscillating menisci
Domenico Fiorini, Miguel Alfonso Mendez, Alessia Simonini +2
The contact angle between a gas-liquid interface and a solid surface is a function of the dynamic conditions of the contact line. Classic steady correlations link the contact angle…
