Stability and slosh wave for rotating bubble due to gravity-jitters under microgravityTime-dependent fluid behaviors in microgravity environments are examined with particular attention given to the dynamics of bubble configurations. The initial bubble profiles, computed from the steady-state formulation, are used as the initial input for the time dependent computation. The parameters considered are liquid density and its kinematic viscosity, gas density and its kinematic viscosity, surface tension coefficient, angular velocity, and gravity environment. This computer algorithm can be used to simulate the fluid behavior in a microgravity environment, in particular the excitation of slosh waves due to different frequencies of gravity jitters. Results show that lower-frequency gravity jitters excite slosh waves with a higher ratio of maximum amplitude to wave length than that of the slosh waves generated by the higher frequency gravity jitters.
