DIGITAL PROGRAM FOR FLUID SLOSHING IN TANKS WITH AXIAL SYMMETRY,
Abstract
In the analysis and design of missile control systems, it is necessary to describe the various dynamic phenomena which contribute to over-all system performance. The sloshing of fuel in missile tankage is one of the necessary dynamic considerations. The purpose of the report is to describe a digital computer routine employed for the determination of the effect of fluid sloshing on missile dynamics. An outline was prepared in order to facilitate the use of this computer program. A summary in part of the results obtained in a theoretical study of sloshing precedes a description of the computer solution. In conclusion an outline is presented for the preparation of information needed for computer solution of the sloshing problem, accompanied by an example input data sheet. (Author)
