The Numerical Simulation of Liquid Sloshing in Microgravity
Abstract. The subject of study is the influence of sloshing liquid on board spacecraft and satellites. Experiments have been carried out with the mini satellite Sloshsat FLEVO, containing a partially filled water tank, in an orbit around earth. These experiments were supported by a computational model for 3D incompressible free-surface flow, including capillary surface physics and coupled solid...
متن کاملThe numerical simulation of liquid sloshing on board spacecraft
The subject of study is the influence of sloshing liquid on the dynamics of spacecraft. A combined theoretical and experimental approach has been followed. On the one hand, CFD simulations have been carried out to predict the combined liquid/solid body motion. Basically a volume-of-fluid (VOF) approach is followed, however with improvements in the treatment of the free liquid surface: these cov...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Coupled Liquid-solid Dynamics
Under micro-gravity conditions, fluid behaviour is — at least from a computational point of view — more complicated than under terrestrial conditions. Since capillary forces at the free surface dominate the flow, the location and shape of the free surface have to be computed accurately. Moreover, in an extra-terrestrial environment, fluid has the tendency to undergo large topological changes re...
متن کاملThe Simulation of Violent Free-surface Dynamics at Sea and in Space
Non-linear free-surface phenomena, such as extreme waves and violent sloshing, and their impact on the dynamics response of the containing vessels have long been subjects that could only be studied with experimental methods. Nowadays, computational CFD tools can make a significant contribution to these flow problems. The paper starts with a short overview of the most popular numerical methods t...
متن کاملVibration Suppression of Fuel Sloshing using Subband Adaptive Filtering (RESEARCH NOTE)
One of the main vibration problems of aerospace vehicles with liquid fuel propulsion system is fuel sloshing. This phenomenon is a low frequency vibrational challenge which can affect the motion of the vehicle and degrade the stability of the main control system. In this regards, the motion of the liquid will be very critical when the frequency of the sloshing is very close to the frequencies o...
