Sloshing dynamics-modulated fluid angular momentum and moment fluctuations driven by orbital gravity gradient and jitter accelerations in microgravity

The dynamical behavior of spacecraft propellant affected by the asymmetric combined gravity gradient and jitter acceleration are studied. In particular the effect of surface tension on partially-filled rotating fluids applicable to a full-scale Gravity Probe-B Spacecraft dewar tank has been investigated. Three different cases of orbital accelerations: (a) gravity gradient-dominated, (b) equally weighted between gravity gradients and jitter, and (c) gravity jitter-dominated accelerations are considered. Fluctuations of angular momentum, fluid moment and bubble mass center caused by slosh wave excitations driven by gravity gradient and jitter accelerations are also investigated.

Motion stability dynamics for spacecraft coupled with partially filled liquid container

This paper presents a canonical Hamiltonian model of liquid sloshing for the container coupled with spacecraft. Elliptical shape of rigid body is considered as spacecraft structure. Hamiltonian system is an important form of mechanical system. It mostly used to stabilize the potential shaping of dynamical system. Free surface movement of liquid inside the container is called sloshing. If there is uncontrolled resonance between the motion of tank and liquid-frequency inside the tank then such sloshing can be a reason of attitude disturbance or structural damage of spacecraft. Equivalent mechanical model of simple pendulum or mass attached with spring for sloshing is used by many researchers. Mass attached with spring is used as an equivalent model of sloshing to derive the mathematical equations in terms of Hamiltonian model. Analytical method of Lyapunov function with Casimir energy function is used to find the stability for spacecraft dynamics. Vertical axial rotation is taken as the major axial steady rotation for the moving rigid body.

现代航天器通常携带大量的液体推进剂, 在航天器的姿态发生变化的过程中, 由于惯性力和重力的作用, 可能会导致液体燃料发生剧烈晃动, 由此产生附加的晃动力会对航天器造成重要影响. 为了得到液体晃动的规律并满足星载计算机实时计算的要求, 本文研究并验证了一种用于等效液体大幅晃动的动力学模型. 首先将液体大幅晃动运动脉动球模型MPBM推广到重力环境中, 通过脉动球的牛顿?欧拉动力学方程和“呼吸运动”过程中能量关系式, 推导出晃动力法向分量的表达式. 同时, 引入不参与晃动的液体的等效模型, 使得液体质心位置的计算更加准确. 通过和文献中实验数据以及CFD软件的计算结果进行比较, 分别验证了推广的MPBM模型在大幅晃动、零动量机动工况下的有效性, 并基于该等效模型, 研究了脉冲激励的不同时序对航天器中液体晃动响应的影响. 最后, 设计并搭建了用于精确测量液体晃动力的实验平台, 验证了MPBM模型在等效非球形储箱的液体晃动时也同样可以很好地反应出晃动力的变化趋势. 本文的研究工作对进一步研究重力环境中充液航天器刚–液耦合动力学行为具有重要的参考价值.      

Nonlinear coupled dynamics of liquid-filled spherical container in microgravity

Nonlinear coupled dynamics of a liquid-filled spherical container in microgravity are investigated. The governing equations of the low-gravity liquid sloshing in a convex axisymmetrical container subjected to lateral excitation is obtained by the variational principle and solved with a modal analysis method. The variational formulas are transformed into a frequency equation in the form of a standard eigenvalue problem by the Galerkin method, in which admissible functions for the velocity potential and the liquid flee surface displacement are determined analytically in terms of the Gaussian hypergeometric series. The coupled dynamic equations of the liquid-filled container are derived using the Lagrange＇s method and are numerically solved. The time histories of the modal solutions are obtained in numerical simulations.     

A study of sloshing absorber geometry for structural control with SPH

A liquid sloshing absorber consists of a container, partially filled with liquid. The absorber is attached to the structure to be controlled, and relies on the structure's motion to excite the liquid. Consequently, a sloshing wave is produced at the liquid free-surface within the absorber, possessing energy dissipative qualities. The primary objective of this work is to numerically demonstrate the effect of a sloshing absorber's shape on its control performance. Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is used to model fluid–structure interaction of the structure/sloshing absorber system in two dimensions. The structure to be controlled is a lightly damped single degree-of-freedom structure. The structure is subjected to a transient excitation and then allowed to respond dynamically, coming to rest either due to its own damping alone or with the added control of the sloshing absorber. It is identified that the control performance of the conventionally used rectangular container geometry can be improved by having inward-angled walls. This new arrangement is robust, and of significant advantage in situations when the external disturbance is of uncertain magnitude.

A technique for rapidly deploying a concentration gradient with applications to microgravity

The latter half of the last century has seen rapid advancements in semiconductor crystal growth powered by the demand for high performance electronics in myriad applications. The reduced gravity environment of space has also been used for crystal growth tests, especially in instances where terrestrial growth has largely been unsuccessful. While reduced gravity crystal growth affords some control of the gravity parameter, many crystals grown in space, to date, have structural flaws believed to result from convective motions during the growth phase. The character of these instabilities is not well understood but is associated with thermal and solutal density variations near the solidification interface in the presence of residual gravity and g-jitter. In order to study these instabilities in a separate, controlled space experiment, a concentration gradient would first have to be artificially established in a timely manner as an initial condition. This is generally difficult to accomplish in a microgravity environment because the momentum of the fluid injected into a test cell tends to swirl around and mix in the absence of a restoring force. The use of magnetic fields to control the motion and position of liquids has received growing interest in recent times. The possibility of using the force exerted by a non-uniform magnetic field on a ferrofluid to not only achieve fluid manipulation but also to actively control fluid motion makes it an attractive candidate for space applications. This paper describes a technique for quickly establishing a linear or exponential fluid concentration gradient using a magnetic field in place of gravity to stabilize the deployment. Also discussed is a photometric technique for measuring the concentration profile using light attenuation. Results of the ground-based experiments indicate that the concentration distribution is within 3% of the predicted value. Although any range of concentations can be realized, photometric constraints are discussed which impose some limitations on measurements. Received: 8 May 2000/Accepted: 11 September 2000     

基于时域解耦算法的多液舱浮式结构物运动模拟

对于带有多个晃荡液舱的浮式结构物, 浮体的运动、外场水动力以及各舱内的液体晃荡力会实时相互决定, 发生复杂的耦合作用. 为准确模拟多液舱浮式结构物的运动, 本文引入一种有效的时域解耦算法. 该方法以模态分解法为基础, 通过对浮式结构物所受外域水动力和各液舱内非线性晃荡力进行模态分解, 最终形成时域解耦运动方程, 无需迭代求解过程即可显式计算浮式结构物的瞬时加速度. 该方法可避免传统迭代求解方法在迭代次数、截断误差和收敛特性等方面的不足, 减少解耦过程的计算耗时. 本文进一步结合边界元数值方法, 分别对单液舱浮式结构物和多液舱浮式结构物的工况开展数值模拟研究. 通过与单液舱浮式结构物的实验结果对比, 验证了本文时域解耦算法的有效性. 本文详细分析了晃荡力对单液舱浮式结构物运动的影响, 发现存在一个共振影响区间: 当外场波浪频率在该区间之外时, 可以在时域计算结果中观察到稳定的浮体运动; 在比该区间更低频的波况下, 液舱晃荡力与外场波浪力相位相反甚至可以相互抵消, 此时晃荡液舱的存在可以减弱浮体运动; 在比该区间更高频的波况下, 液舱内晃荡力与外场波浪力可以具有相同相位, 此时晃荡液舱的存在会加剧浮体的运动. 本文进一步研究了四液舱浮式结构物在波浪中的纵荡、垂荡和纵摇运动情况, 发现非线性液舱晃荡可对纵荡和纵摇运动产生影响, 但对垂荡运动影响很小.

Asymmetric slosh wave excitation in a liquid-vapor interface under microgravity

The dynamical behavior of fluids affected by the asymmetric gravity jitter oscillations, in particular, the effect of surface tension on partially-filled rotating fluids in a Dewar tank imposed by time-dependent directions of background reduced gravity accelerations is investigated. Results show that the greater the components of background reduced gravity in radial and circumferential directions, the greater will be the tendency toward increasing amplitude and degrees of asymmetry of the liquid-vapor interface profiles.     

Dynamic structures of bubble-driven liquid flows in a cylindrical tank

The spatial and temporal structures of turbulent water flows driven by air bubbles in a cylindrical tank were investigated. The time-resolved particle image velocimetry technique was adopted for quantitative visualization. Flow rates of compressed air were changed from 1 to 5?L/min at 0.5?MPa, and the corresponding range of bubble-based Reynolds number (Re) ranged from 8,300 to 21,100. The dynamics of flow structures was further investigated by the time-resolved proper orthogonal decomposition analysis technique. With increasing Re, mean velocity fields driven by the rising bubbles are almost same, but turbulence is dramatically enhanced. Both spatial and temporal modes were quite different with respect to the air flow rates. Three most dominant spatial structures are recirculating flow, bubble-induced motion, and sloshing of free surface, the bigger the latter the higher Re. We found the frequency of sloshing motion from flow visualization and the FFT analysis of temporal modes.     

Coupled vibrations of a partially fluid-filled cylindrical container with an internal body including the effect of free surface waves

Internal bodies (baffles) are used as damping devices to suppress the fluid sloshing motion in fluid-structure interaction systems. An analytical method is developed in the present article to investigate the effects of a rigid internal body on bulging and sloshing frequencies and modes of a cylindrical container partially filled with a fluid. The internal body is a thin-walled and open-ended cylindrical shell that is coaxially and partially submerged inside the container. The interaction between the fluid and the structure is taken into account to calculate the sloshing and bulging frequencies and modes of the coupled system using the Rayleigh quotient, Ritz expansion and Galerkin method. It is shown that the present formulation is an appropriate and new approach to tackle the problem with good accuracy. The effects of fluid level, number of nodal diameters, internal body radius and submergence ratio on the dynamic characteristics of the coupled system are also investigated.
