The Fluid Dynamics Branch has positioned itself to support a wide range of customers in need of Cryogenic Fluid Management (CFM) analysis. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool used for all manner of internal and external propulsion applications has been extended and refined to better model cryogenic propellant storage and tanking operations. Through the CFM Portfolio project, several validation activities were initiated. Validation of propellant tank self-pressurization, autogenous pressurization, slosh-induced ullage collapse, and jet-induced mixing all aid in defining model accuracy. The on-going validation effort has enabled confident application of the tool to in-line design and evaluation of CFM hardware and operations. Recent project support included design of no-vent fill operations using various techniques for the Human Landing System (HLS). Propellant transfer dynamics were predicted to ensure complete propellant delivery. Many more activities in support of HLS and other projects and programs were supported. The branch has engaged the CFM community to share recent findings and capabilities through conferences. To reach the wider community, a consolidation of fundamental findings from work on in-space pulsed settling maneuvers was distilled in an AIAA paper. Development and demonstration of CFM modeling capabilities continues in order to meet the needs of the agency and its industry partners in the endeavor to sustainably reach the Moon and beyond.
