Description

For the prediction of sloshing in the propellant tank of a rocket vehicle, the preliminary investigation was conducted. The flow field in the propellant tank during the ballistic flight of the vehicle was experimentally reproduced with the sub-scale model. The lateral acceleration as large as about 0.8G was provided with a mechanical exciter and the deformation of the liquid surface in the small vessel was visualized with a high-speed camera. The sloshing phenomena were also simulated with the CFD code, called CIP-LSM. The important features of surface deformation and wave breaking were successfully reproduced in the computation.
