For more than 50 years, fluid dynamics and slosh-related studies have been conducted at SwRI, providing solutions for a wide spectrum of industries and applications.
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
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
Sloshing Dynamics Code
Southwest Research Institute has been active in the field of fluid sloshing dynamics and fluid management devices since the early days of the space program. Download the “Dynamcis Behavior of Liquids in Moving Containers” SLOSHXL code.
