We started researching fluid-thermal systems in space vehicles at the advent of the U.S. space program in the late 1950s. We are internationally recognized experts in liquid dynamics in space vehicles. Our staff has provided a variety of solutions for microgravity propellant dynamics challenges within the space industry. Our innovations include propellant dynamics and management; environment control and life support system design and evaluation; flight hardware development; and flight experiment design, development, and analysis.
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.
