DESIRABLE EXPERIMENTS ON SLOSH DAMPING

Abstract

Approaches to the problem of slosh damping are examined. In general, the most promising line of attack is to measure accurately the ratio of actual to predicted logarithmic decrements (or their equivalents), under carefully controlled laboratory conditions. The hope is that observed values of this variable constant will vary gradually and according to recognizable trends.
