Propellant Slosh Force and Mass Measurement by Andrew Hunt, Richard Foster-Turner, Ross Drury

“…We have shown that the ability to track CoM enables the determination of slosh forces, and we argue that this will result in disruptive changes in a propellant tank design and use in a spacecraft. Ground testing together with real-time slosh force data will allow an improved tank design to minimize and mitigate slosh forces, while at the same time keeping the tank mass to a minimum. …”
