Longitudinal and transverse modes of slosh wave excitation in rotating dewar associated with gravity jitters

Characteristics of slosh waves based on the dynamical behavior of oscillations at the liquid-vapor interface have been investigated. Twelve case studies of slosh wave excitation due to various frequencies of gravity jitters under different rotating speeds of the propellant tank and different levels of background gravity environment have been simulated. The study shows that slosh waves excited inside the spacecraft propellant tank are characterized by the lowest frequency of the waves initiated, frequencies of the gravity jitters imposed on the propellant system, the levels of background gravity environment, and dewar rotating speeds. Conditions for suppression and amplification of the slosh waves are discussed.
