| Abstract: |
| Liquid propellants are hazardous chemical that can cause various kinds of accidents during leakage such as fires,explosions, poisoning, and environmental pollution. Thus, effective control of propellant leakage is critical to accident disposal and harm reduction. The CFD software-FUNENT was used to simulate the leakage propellant from storage tank; the distribution of leaking speed was studied under the condition that the leak hole was under the liquid level. The effect of internal pressure, hole diameter, hole height, and the kind of propellant on the velocity distribution of leak hole was analyzed. The results of simulation were contrasted to the empirical formula results, and simulation accuracy was verified. |
