Comparative Study of Slosh Suppression Devices and Techniques for Liquid and Hybrid Rocket Propellant Tanks
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
The present study reviews and discusses about the undesirable phenomenon of propellant sloshing in propellant tanks of liquid and hybrid rocket engines. The occurrence of unexpected sloshing in propellant tanks usually induces unwanted and additional loads and stresses on the tank structure which may lead to structure failure and sometimes the overall failure of the mission. Sloshing of free liquid in a tank, which is instigated by the manoeuvring and/or acceleration of the launch vehicle, often causes the generation of dynamic instabilities of the whole system. Various devices and techniques have been developed and experimented to counteract or significantly mitigate the sloshing. Such devices and techniques have been discussed and briefly compared in this study to highlight the slosh suppression effectiveness and efficiency of a device.
