Effect of baffles on pressurization and thermal stratification in cryogenic tanks under micro-gravity

•CFD model for simulating LN2 in a tank with baffle under microgravity is developed.•Effect of gravity, fill level, distance, angle and gap on pressure rise is discussed.•A 2nd order correlation between liquid fraction and pressure rise is proposed.•A structure is proposed to achieve high performanc...
