Numerical Investigation into the Natural Convection of Cryogenic Supercritical Helium in a Spherical Enclosure

As an ideal pressurized gas, helium, especially supercritical helium, has been widely used in the pressurization system of various launch vehicles and spacecraft. This work mainly focuses on the natural convection of cryogenic supercritical helium in a spherical enclosure. Firstly, a three-dimension...
