Method for numerical modelling of natural convection heat and mass transfer in liquid and vapor phases during ventless storage of cryogenic fuel components in tanks is presented in this paper. The proposed mathematical model is based on low Much number approach for vapor phase and Boussinesq approach for liquid phase. Method for numerical modelling of inhomogeneous initial conditions in vapor phase is given. Presented model and method is validated using experimental data for ventless storage of liquid hydrogen and nitrogen.
