The ECLIPSE Code is being developed as a general tool for analysis of cryogenic propellant behavior in spacecraft tankage. The focus of the work being reported is on prediction of temperature fields due to introduction of a cold jet along the centerline of a typical Orbit Transfer Vehicle tank. A brief description of the formulations used for modeling heat transfer and turbulent flow is presented. Code performance is verified through comparison to experimental data for mixing in small scale tanks. An unexpected difficulty in computing long duration flows is reviewed. Preliminary results for a partially filled full scale tank are obtained by approximating the free surface by a spherical solid boundary.
