The nonlinear forced response characteristics of contained fluids in microgravityAn experimental study of the change in the lateral slosh behavior of contained fluids between earth and space is presented. The experimental apparatus used to determine the slosh characteristics is described and a nonlinear analytic model of a coupled fluid/spacecraft system is outlined. The forced response characteristics of silicon oil and distilled water in cylinder tanks with either a flat or spherical bottom are reported and discussed. A comparison of the measured earth and space results identifies and highlights the effects of gravity on the linear and nonlinear slosh behavior of these fluids.
