At launch the Cassini spacecraft holds 3100 kg of liquid propellant.With a dry mass of 2200 kg, the liquid propellant mass fraction is 60% at launch, indicating that an evaluation of the attitude control system would be incomplete without some capability t o model the dynamics of the propellant.In this paper, mechanlcalanalogy models for propellant slosh a r e developed using d a t a generated bv comp;tational fluid dynamics and statics currently for attitude control design and
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
