Flashing of a liquid jet and thermohydraulic filling of cavities

This activity belongs to a vast research program directed by SNECMA on mastering the re-ignition in outer space of cryogenic rocket engines. This program contains two aspects: at first times, liquid oxygen is injected in the vacuum and vaporizes very quickly (flashing). Once saturation is reached, the issue is that of filling a cavity by a double flux of liquid and gaz.
