For more than 50 years, fluid dynamics and slosh-related studies have been conducted at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), providing solutions for a wide spectrum of industries and applications.
 |
 |
Bench-scale apparatus for studying the effects of liquid motion. | Noninvasive flow measurement using laser doppler velocimetry. |
Fluid Dynamics Problems
Engineers provide solutions to a range of fluid dynamic problems, such as:
Industrial process heat transfer and fluid dynamics problems Gas and water meter calibration facilities design Metering and dispensing systems design and testing Erosional velocity determination for standards development Chemical spill mixing and dilution modeling Liquid motion property predictions
 |
 |
SwRI engineers have studied the sloshing of liquefied natural gas to assess its effects on transport tankers. |
Computational fluid dynamic models and other analytical tools are used by SwRI researchers to complement the array of experimental resources available. |
Slosh-Related Studies
Slosh-related studies at SwRI have explored:
Fluid motion, including liquid sloshing, in a water-transport vehicle Cargo sloshing in liquid natural gas transport ships Propellant effects on satellite stability in microgravity environments
