The Fluid Dynamics Branch at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center is preparing to support flight programs through analysis of a variety of cryogenic fluid management (CFM) applications. Many vehicles being considered for future manned missions to the moon and beyond use chemical or nuclear thermal propulsion systems that rely on cryogenic propellants. Storing cryogenic propellants for later use is a challenge, though. Many areas of active CFM research, testing, and design involve propellant conditioning to ensure propellant remains a usable liquid for propulsion. Multiple technologies may be used to achieve adequate conditioning including the subject of this paper, a jet-based mixer. Mixing serves to homogenize fluid temperatures and decrease ullage pressure. Development and validation of a modeling methodology for jet-based mixing was conducted to prepare for in-line design work.
