Assessment of CFD models for hydrogen fast filling simulations
High injection pressures are used during the re-fueling process of vehicle tanks with
compressed hydrogen, and consequently high temperatures are generated in the tank,
potentially jeopardizing the system safety. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools can
help in predicting the temperature rise within vehicle tanks, providing complete and
detailed 3D information on flow features and temperature distribution. In this framework,
CFD simulations of hydrogen fast filling at different working conditions are performed and
the accuracy of the numerical models is assessed against experimental data for a type 4
tank up to 70 MPa.
