Numerical simulation of spacecraft propellant tank draining characteristicsLiquid residual at the incipience of suction dip, and slosh wave excitation under normal and various reduced gravity environments and different flow rates of liquid have been investigated during the liquid hydrogen draining. It shows that the liquid residual at the incipience of suction dip increases as the values of gravity environment decrease from normal gravity ot lower reduced gravity. Flow fields with lower flow rates of liquid draining are responsible for the excitation higher wave amplitude slosh waves.
