Effect of Isogrid-Type Obstructions on Thermal Stratification in Upper-Stage Rocket Propellant Tanks

Analytical models for propellant thermal stratification are typically based on smooth wall flow correlations. However, many propellant tank walls have a mass-saving isogrid, which alters the boundary layer. This work investigates the boundary-layer behavior over walls with obstruction elements that...
