Bauer SUMMARY With the increasing size of space vehicles and their larger tank diameters , which lower the natural frequencies of the propellants , the effects of propellant sloshing upon the stability of the vehicle are becoming more critical . Especially since at launch , usu- ally more than ninety per cent of the total mass is in the form of liquid propellant . With increasing diameter , the oscillating propellant masses and the corresponding forces increase . Furthermore , the Eigen frequencies of the propellant become smaller and shift closer to the control frequency of the space vehicle . To obtain smaller sloshing masses and higher Eigen frequencies , the cylindrical containers can be divided by radial or circular walls . Another possibility is the clustering of tanks with smaller diameters , which has the disadvantage of a weight penalty . For stability investigations the influence of the oscillating propellant must be determined . For this reason , forces and moments of the propellant with a free surface performing forced oscillations in a container must be known. To obtain the Eigen frequencies and mode shapes of the liquid , forced oscillations of a frictionless fluid in a cylindrical container of circular ring sector cross section are treated . The assumption of frictionless liquid is justified , since only very small damping is provided by the friction at the tank walls . In a cylindrical container , the lower part of the liquid performs the forced oscillation like a rigid body and only the liquid in the immediate vicinity of the free surface moves independently . With increasing mode number , this motion penetrates less deeply into the liquid . The oscillating propellant can be represented as a spring - mass - system , in which location and magnitude of the model values are determined to give the same forces and moments as the liquid . mechanical model , linear damping can be introduced . In this The magnitude of this damping , which is provided by wall friction and possibly additional baffles , is obtained by experiments . After the introduction of the mechanical model for the propellants , the derivation of the equations of motion presents no problem. then determined by stability boundaries . can be used: The influence of propellant sloshing is To minimize this influence , various methods First , subdivision of propellant containers of which the oscillating liquid masses are decreased and distributed to different modes and the Eigen frequencies are increased ; second , proper location of the propellant containers ; third , appropriate choice of the control system , such as gain values and additional control elements ; and fourth , the introduction of additional baffles into the propellant , to disturb the flow field and create larger damping . This paper gives the results of theoretical studies for the response of the liquid in an arbitrary cylindrical ringsector container , derives the model for the most frequent tank forms and presents stability boundaries for various control systems . SECTION I. INTRODUCTION The present trend in modern space technology toward large vehicles presents numerous new problems not encountered in the development of smaller missiles . example , propellant sloshing may be established by the motion of a space vehicle . For Such propellant oscillations are of importance for there is a possibility of extreme amplitudes if the excitation frequency is in the neighborhood of one of the natural frequencies of the fuel . Since more than 90 per cent of the total weight at take -off is liquid propellant , the influence of propellant sloshing upon the stability of the vehicle becomes more critical , especially with increasing tank diameter, because the oscillating propellant masses and propellant forces increase very rapidly . Furthermore , the Eigen frequencies of the pro- pellant decrease with increasing propellant tank diameter and are getting closer to the control frequency of the space vehicle . For this reason ,there will be a continuous ex- citation of propellant and the influence of propellant sloshing upon stability has to be investigated . To obtain smaller sloshing masses , one can subdivide the cylindrical tanks by either radial or circular walls . Another possibility is the clustering of tanks of smaller diameter . This , however , has structural and weight disadvantages . If a space vehicle , due to an atmospheric disturbance , deviates from its original trajectory , it should be quickly returned to its preprogrammed flight path . This is performed by the control and guidance system and is executed by swiveling the thrust of the space vehicle . A poorly designed control system can therefore continuously excite the motion of the propellant in the tanks . For this reason , force and moments of the liquid in performing harmonic oscillations in a cylindrical container must be determined and their influence upon the `stability must be investigated . The exact solution of this problem is too complicated . To obtain the values of the Eigen frequencies , the mode shapes , and the sloshing masses of the vibration modes , the liquid vibration is treated for free and forced oscillations of a frictionless fluid in a circular cylindrical ring sector tank . The assumption of a frictionless liquid is justified since the damping due to friction at the tank walls is usually of very small magnitude . 2 In a cylindrical container the largest part of the liquid performs the forced motion, like a rigid body . Only the liquid in the immediate vicinity of the free fluid surface os- cillates by itself. This motion penetrates approximately one radius into the liquid surface for the lowest Eigen frequencies . For higher Eigen frequencies , the penetration becomes ! smaller . For stability investigations of space vehicles , the motion perpendicular to the trajectory is of main importance . these motions. For this reason we will restrict our investigation to Free and forced vibrations in the form of translatory , rotational or roll ex- citation of the container will be treated . linearized . In these motions the boundary conditions will be This has , besides the simplification for the solution , the advantage that so- lutions of different excitations can be superimposed . The fact that the liquid is consid- ered irrotational results in the representation of the velocity vector of a fluid particle as a gradient of a velocity potential . Since the fluid is incompressible , the velocity po- tential must be a solution of the Laplace equation which does not explicitly contain the time . This means that the flow in the container is determined at any instant by the boundary conditions at that time . The oscillating liquid can be represented as a spring-mass system for which the magnitude and location of the oscillating liquid masses and corresponding spring constants must be determined . They must have the same Eigen frequencies and exert the same forces and moments as the actual fluid . At the Eigen frequencies of the propellant , the solutions of the potential theory exhibit singularities . The oscillation of the propellant , however , is damped by wall and internal friction indicating that an investigation of damped fluid vibration would be necessary. Especially in the region of resonance where fluid forces occur which are a multi- ple of the inertial force , an exact knowledge of these values is important. The analytical treatment of damped fluid oscillations, especially in containers with stiffener rings and baffles, presents insurmountable difficulties . the introduction of linear damping . The mechanical model therefore serves for The magnitude of the damping is determined by ex- periments . After the introduction of the mechanical model , the derivation of the equations of motion of the space vehicle represents no further difficulty . space vehicle can also be included in the analysis . these elastic effects play a more important role . The elastic behavior of the With increasing length of the vehicles , Finally , the influence of the propellant oscillations upon the stability of the space vehicle is investigated . The questions of how to design a control system and where one should place an additional control accelerometer to minimize baffle requirements and to enhance the stability of the vehicle with respect to propellant sloshing are answered . The influence of tank geometry , the lo- cation of a propellant container as well as the gain values , and the vibrational characteristics of a control accelerometer upon the stability boundaries are investigated . This is performed by varying the different parameters and by determining the stability boundaries with the usual criteria of Hurwitz . 3 The problem of free fluid oscillations in a circular cylindrical container was treated in 1829 by Poisson . Because the theory of Bessel functions was at that time un- available , the result was not completely interpreted [ 1 ] . In the year 1876 , Rayleigh [ 2 ] gave the solution for free fluid oscillations in rectangular and cylindrical tanks of circular cross section . In recent years , the problem of forced fluid oscillations has grown in importance [ 3 ] . Graham and Rodrigue [ 4 ] determined the forced vibration of liquid in rectangular containers while Lorell [ 5 ] gave the flow of a fluid in a two - dimensional rectangular container and cylindrical tank of circular cross section for translational excitation . At almost the same time , reports about forced fluid oscillations in cylindrical tanks [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ] began to appear at various companies in the United States . Fluid oscillations in a cylindrical tank with annular [ 10 ] and elliptic [ 11 ] cross section have also been treated . Budiansky [ 12 ] used integral equation techniques to determine fluid oscillations in horizontal , circular cylindrical , and spherical containers . The first Eigen frequency can also be obtained by an approximation method [ 13 ] if one considers the liquid of small fluid heights as a compound pendulum . For large liquid heights , the Eigen frequency can be approximated by substituting the liquid body by an equivalent circular cylindrical liquid mass of equal volume and equal free fluid surface area . All circular cylindrical containers can be obtained from the results of the fluid oscillations in circular cylindrical ring sector tanks . The mechanical model is pre- sented only for the most important practical container geometries such as circular containers and four quarter containers . SECTION II . OSCILLATION OF A FRICTIONLESS LIQUID IN CYLINDRICAL CONTAINERS An exact solution of the problem of fluid oscillations with a free fluid surface in a container is practically impossible . Since at first we are interested only in the mechanical values of the system , namely , the Eigen frequencies of the liquid and the sloshing masses , we assume for simplification that the flow field can be considered frictionless , irrotational , and incompressible . With the results of this theory , a mechanical model can be derived in which damping can be included . Since the cylindrical propellant containers will be divided by radial or concentric walls to decrease the oscillating propellant masses, we will discuss the fluid oscillations in a cylindrical container with circular annular sector cross section ( Fig . 1 ) . From the results of this analysis , we can obtain by limit considerations the solutions for container forms which are most important in practice , A. THE BASIC EQUATIONS Because of the assumption of irrotational flow , the velocity v can be represented as a gradient of the velocity potential solution of the Laplace equation [ 14 ] . ΔΦ = = 0 0 4 . For an incompressible medium , must be a ( 1) The introduction of the potential has the advantage that all interesting values such as velocity and pressure can be obtained with one single function .

Əz FREE OSCILLATIONS We start with the free oscillations to find the Eigen solutions needed for the series expansion of the solution of the forced oscillations .

This is of great dis- It indicates that , with increasing tank diameter , the Eigen frequencies of the propellant are dangerously close to the con- trol frequency which usually exhibits small values in the order of 0.2 to 0..5 cycles/ sec . A possibility for the increase of the Eigen frequencies exists in the change of the container geometry . This is expressed by the value έmn For large values of the liquid height h/a , the square of the Eigen value w² ≈ 8§mn a is practically independent of the fluid height ; and expresses that the ratio w/ g/a changes its value only for small fluid heights h/a < 1. For higher mode shapes , this value stays constant to very small values of h/a then decreases rapidly to& mn ward zero . ( Fig. 2) C. FORCED OSCILLATIONS For a stability investigation of the total space vehicle , fluid forces and moments due to oscillations of the vehicle about its trajectory , that is , translational motion perpendicular to the flight trajectory or rotational about the longitudinal and latitudinal axis , have to be known . We therefore investigate the case that the propellant container per- forms forced oscillations . Since the liquid follows the motion of the tank wall in the lower part of the container like a rigid body and since in the vicinity of the surface the fluid performs independent oscillations , it makes sense to split the potential potential of the rigid body motion potential ( liquid without free fluid surface ) and a disturbance which is caused by the free surface motion . 1.

This results in a faster convergence of the results . The velocity distribution in the container is obtained by omitting the first term in the braces , that is , omitting the term cosy for the radial velocity component of up and sing for the angular component of up . To know completely the response of the liquid to a translational motion the excitation in y - direction also has to be treated . The procedure is only slightly different from that of excitation of the translational excitation in x - direction and makes a comprehensive investigation unnecessary . The flow field of the liquid with respect to forced oscillation of the container in y - direction is again obtained from the solution of the potential equation 1. მა The boundary conditions at the tank walls are , for this case int = inye sino at the tank walls r = a, b. = 0 at the tank bottom z = -h Ər მა Əz 13 მრ 1 r მლ მდ მო 18 1 r int = inye at the sector wall 9 = 0 int cosa = inye at the sector wall = 2πα By transformation similar to the one previously used , the container motion can be eliminated .

Besides translational oscillations , a space vehicle also performs rotational oscillations . Therefore , rotational excitation of the containers about the origin of the coordinate system , which is now placed in the middle between the tank bottom and the undisturbed fluid surface on the vertex axis of the tank , must also be performed .

In the boundary conditions at the tank wall r = a , r = b , the double series vanishes term by term , and the simple summation together with the first term vanishes after differentiation with respect to the radius r . The corre- sponding results obtained from this velocity potential are represented in Table 1. In the moment about the z -axis , one recognizes that the first term represents nothing but the moment of the solidified liquid . By omitting the double series , the moment of the liquid in a infinitely long container is obtained . As already mentioned , the results are only valid as long as the apex angle a # 1/4 and a 3/4 . In these cases , the nonhomogen- eous solution of the differential equation exhibits resonance conditions with the solution of the homogeneous differential equation for the function R₁ ( r) in the case m = 1 and Rg (r) in the case m 2.

Containers of circular cross section are most frequently used in missiles and space vehicles . With increasing diameter of the containers , a sub- division of the tanks by longitudinal walls to decrease the sloshing propellant masses can hardly be avoided . quarter tanks . For instance , a cylindrical container could be divided into four A concentric container also could be of some advantage since , by proper selection of the diameter ratio , the liquid oscillations could be brought into favorable phase relations so that the influence upon the total stability could be partially cancelled . Fluid oscillations in a cylindrical container of annular cross section have been treated [ 10 ] . The following will be restricted to the treatment of cylindrical containers of sec- tor circular and quarter circular cross section . The forces and moments of the liquid are given in Tables 2 and 3. a. Sector tank. Let the ratio k = b/a of the inner to the outer tank diameter approach zero ; then we obtain the results which are due to the fluid motion in a cylindrical container of circular sector cross section . Here the determinant A m · 2α ( §) = 0 becomes J' ( ૬) = 0 m Σα the zeros of which are denoted by Emn.

J The velocity potential , the free fluid surface displacement , the force and moment components are represented for the various excitation forms in Table 2 . In the case of roll excitation, the results for the flow of the liquid in a circular sector tank can be obtained from the previous results of a container of circular ring sector cross section by introducing k = 0 and substituting for 12m - 1n the value f2m - in and for 82m - 1n the value e2m - in ' These are coefficients of the expansions . 2m - 1 20 r 2α = Σ n=0 a J ) 2m- 1n 2m- 12m - 1n a 2α ←) a ²= r) , e2m - 1n 2m - 1 ( E 2mΣ e, 1n a n=0 2α Again the results are valid only if a 1/4 , 3/4 .

For this reason , only the expression b is needed .

As can be seen from the formula and from the numerical result represented in Figure 2 , the natural frequency of the liquid in a partially filled container changes considerably at constant longitudinal acceleration only for small liquid height ( h/a < 1 ) . This is true because the hyperbolic tangent practically assumes the value one for values of (h/a ) > 1. The natural frequency increases proportionally to the square root of the longitudinal acceleration g . Furthermore , it can be seen that the Eigen frequency of the fluid with increasing radius a changes its value like 1 /√a This indicates that for increasing tank diameter , the natural frequency of the liquid becomes smaller . the free fluid surface displacement Z From ( Table 3 ) one concludes that the first term rep- resents the displacement with respect to small excitation frequency . For these the surface displacement of the liquid ( neglecting terms of §¹ ) is a plane of the form r cos , since the required pressure is replaced by the static pressure . With increas- ing excitation amplitudes xo, the free surface amplitude becomes larger , while for increasing longitudinal acceleration of the container the disturbances of the free surface become smaller . The wave form of the free fluid surface for excitation frequencies before the first and second resonance is presented in Figure 3. The surface displace- ment of the liquid for various frequency ratios is given in Figure 4. Here the given curves for the displacement correspond to the indicated points of frequencies in the magnification function for the displacement of the free fluid surface at the container wall ( Fig. 5) .

In the moment the first term again represents the contribution of shifting of the center of gravity of the liquid for small excitation frequencies .

Since in the frictionless liquid the magnification function exhibits singularities at the resonances , all previous results are not applicable as long as the exciting frequency is too close to the Eigen frequencies . In the vicinity of these , finite values occur which influence the stability of the space vehicle considerably . Especially at the lower Eigen frequencies of the propellant , liquid forces occur which are a multiple of the inertial forces of the propellant . impossible . An exact solution of damped liquid vibrations is practically However , a good approximation can be obtained by treating each vibration mode of the liquid as a degree of freedom and representing it as a spring - mass system . Since the mode shapes are not considerably changed by the small damping of the liquid , magnitude and location of the spring constants and sloshing masses can be derived from the results of the previous paragraph . In this mechanical model , damping can be intro- duced in a simple way in form of linear viscous damping . Actually the forced damped fluid oscillations represent a nonlinear vibration problem. Since the treatment of a non- linear system of many degrees of freedom represents considerable difficulty , equivalent linear damping is introduced . From this , the magnification functions and their phases can be numerically determined for various damping factors and will be compared with experimental values . tained. This way the equivalent linear damping factor of the liquid is ob- In the following, the mechanical model will be derived only for the most im- portant practical container arrangements . The determination of the various elements of the model will be exercised in paragraph 2 of this section . B. THE MECHANICAL MODEL FOR THE DESCRIPTION OF LIQUID MOTION In an oscillating container the liquid oscillates only in close proximity of the free fluid surface , while in the lower part of the container , it follows the motion like a rigid body . mn corresponding to the appropriate viThis indicates that the sloshing mass m bration mode and the corresponding springs with stiffness kn/2 ( with which the slosh mass is fixed at the tank wall at a distance h₂ from the center of gravity of the undisturbed liquid ) have to be attached in the proximity of the free fluid surface ( h_h2 ) . This happens with increasing order of vibration modes . The nonvibrating liquid in the lower part of the container is described by a mass m。 and a moment of inertia Io . This mass is attached rigidly to the container at a height ho below the center of gravity of 29 the liquid . ( Fig . 16 ) To make the mechanical model equivalent to the original fluid system , the sum of the model mass must equal the total liquid mass . m = m mo + m Σ n=1 n For small oscillations , the center of gravity of the liquid shifts horizontally only in the first approximation . Therefore m h оо = Σ n= 1 m h n n must be satisfied . The spring constant , k , is chosen in such a fashion that its ratio to the mass of the sloshing mode represents the square of the Eigen frequency 32 n- 1 = k n m n For rotational excitation about the origin , not all of the liquid participates in the motion , but a part of it remains completely at rest. So , a frictionlessly mounted massless disc with a moment of inertia , Id , must be introduced at the origin . moment of inertia of the liquid becomes = I If rigid -Id Thus , the effective = Im ² m₁₂ h² + Σ m n h n O n=1 Linear damping is introduced in the model by attaching two dampers with the damping coefficients c₁/2 between the mass of the nth vibration mode and the tank wall . n' In addition , one must introduce a damper , cd , between the disc and tank bottom , since , for rotational excitation of a nonfrictionless liquid , more fluid participates in the motion than for a frictionless one . The magnitude of the damping coefficients can be approxi- mately determined from torsional vibration experiments of a completely filled , closed container of equal liquid height . The damping coefficient , cn, will be obtained from forced vibration experiments of the free fluid surface . The linear damping terms are introduced in the usual form ( cn ) where yn represents the damping factor . 'n = 2mm wn Yn n The equations of motion of the model are now derived with the help of the Lagrange equations . For this reason one determines the kinetic and potential energy as well as the dissipation function . If one considers yn as the displacement of the sloshing mass , mn, with respect to the container wall , with y the tank displacement in y - direction , with the rotation about the z - axis , and with tank bottom , the kinetic energy will be : 30 the rotation of the disc with respect to the m O Т T - 2 2 2 ( y + h¸¢ ) ² + 1 + 2 n ) ² + 1 1¿( 4+4 ) ² . Σm ( yn +y +hp mn( n=1 The first two terms represent the kinetic energy of the mass , mΟ , which is rigidly connected with the container . The series describes the kinetic energy of the various modal masses , mn , while the last term represents only the kinetic energy of the disc . The dissipation function is D = c y² + 2 n'n 2 d n=1 + Σ m nwy n'n' n 2 n=1 C where the sum represents the contribution of the dash pots between the modal masses m and the container , and the last term is due to the damper between disc and tank bottom . The potential energy is V = 1/2 89²m h - 1 892 Σ n=1 + mh -89 -go Σ m v k_y2 n n n n 2 Σmnn n=1 n=1 Here , the first term represents the potential energy due to the lifting of the mass , m during rotation , while the second and third terms describe the same fact for the modal masses . The last term is the accumulated energy in the springs . The first two terms in the potential energy will cancel each other due to the condition of the center of mass law . The equations of motion are derived from the Lagrange equation d ƏD әт Əv + ) + dt Qi å i If one considers y , Qy , and y as generalized coordinates and n = -F Q y' = - M = 0 , and Q Q =0 42 z' In as generalized forces , the equations of motion are then m (ÿ +h_ÿ O ) + m_ ( ÿ +ÿ+h_ ) Σm n n n n=1 == - F y ( 51 ) 31 ∞ ÿ +mOh² Oö -g + Σm_h ( ÿ +h ÿ ) +I ( ÿ +ÿ ) = -M • Σ my nn n n n n Ꮓ d n= 1 n= 1 Id ($ (Ÿ +Ÿ ) + ca³ ( 52 ) = 0 .

The first equation is the force equation , the second is the moment equation , and the third describes the motion of the disc , while the last one represents the equation of motion of the nth modal sloshing mass . With these equations , the forces , F , and the moment , M₂ , can be determined for the particular excitations by introducing the results of the equation of motion of the modal masses into the other equations . Instead of the spring- mass system , a pendulum system could also have been applied . 1.

( 02d+ 212 ) The mechanical model , as it was derived here , is valid only for containers of rotational symmetry , that is , for tanks with circular and annular cross sections . It can also be applied to a tank arrangement of four - quarter containers , which are gaining more importance and are of special interest. Since the side forces of four - quarter containers , perpendicular to the direction of excitation , cancel each other and since the same is true for the moments about the axis of excitation , the same model can be applied . One has only to consider that the square of the Eigen frequency is 33 62 mn k = _mn m mn and the total mass of the liquid is given by + m = m O ΣΣ m'mn ' m = 1 n= 1 The number of mode shapes is increased considerably, since the infinite number of mode shapes in -direction must be added to those in r -direction .

From this , similar results for the forces and moments can be obtained as in the previous case . 2. Determination of the Mechanical Values . After we have derived and solved the mechanical model , the mechanical values have to be determined . This deter- mination will be performed by comparing the values of the undamped mechanical model with the results of the ideal liquid motion ( II , C , 3 , b and II , C , 3 , c ) . However , some of these results must be brought into a form that compares with the mechanical model by certain series expansions of Bessel functions and their zeros of the first derivative . In the following , the determination of the mechanical values will be performed for a container with circular cross section . For containers with annular and four - quarter cir- cular cross section , the results can be obtained in a similar way and are presented in Table 5 .

Com- parison with the mechanical model must again result in the ratios m /m and h₂/h . In the same manner , one can obtain the mechanical values for containers of annular and four -quarter circular cross section . Table 5 . The results of these investigations are given in The magnitude of the modal masses and their locations depend only on the geometry of the container . Thus , one will expect that the influence of the liquid propellant upon the stability of the total vehicle will be mainly determined by the tank geometry . Since the liquid nearly always sloshes in the vicinity of the free fluid surface , the absolute magnitude of the modal masses at moderate fluid heights ( ( h/a) > 2 ) would be independent of the filling . With increasing Eigen frequency , the disturbances penetrate less deeply into the liquid . This means that the modal masses of higher sloshing modes approach more and more the free fluid surface ( Fig . 17) . For decreasing fluid heights , the location of the modal mass shifts to the immediate vicinity of the center of gravity of the liquid . The mass ratio m /m increases with decreasing liquid height , h; that is , in long containers where the ratio of fluid heights to container radius is large , only a small amount of the total liquid participates in the oscillation . of the liquid oscillates ( Fig . 18 ) . In short tanks , a larger amount Figure 17 and equation 63 show that for containers with circular cross section , the first modal mass represents the main part of the oscillating mass . In a circular cylindrical tank , the mass of the second sloshing mode is usually less than 3 per cent of the first mode . Only for small liquid heights ( ( h/a ) < 1 ) , the second modal mass will reach a value of 8.4 per cent of that of the first . At this point , one must prove that the free surface displacement at the tank wall is always smaller than the liquid height , since otherwise the solutions will no longer be valid. In the container of annular circular cross section , the magnitude of the modal mass depends also on the diameter ratio . In the most unfavorable case of k (b/a) ≈ 0.45 , the mass of the second sloshing mode is about 12 per cent of that of the first one . Again , we can conclude from this that , for stability investigations , the masses of higher sloshing modes , which are usually well separated from critical frequencies of the space vehicle , can be neglected . For four - quarter tanks , the situation is different , since due to the tank geometry , other vibration modes appear . Figure 19 shows that the mass of the consecutive sloshing mode still represents 43 per cent of the first one , indicating that in stability investigations this second mode can no longer be neglected . 36 A comparison of the three main container forms now shows clearly that the masses of the sloshing modes are definitely influenced by the geometry of the tanks . A comparison of the mag- nitudes of the oscillating modal masses shows that a propellant container with a circular cross section is the least favorable one . Here the oscillating mass is about 1.43 p a³ . By separating the tanks with inner tank walls the oscillating mass can be reduced in two ways . By choosing a concentric wall with half the tank diameter ( k = 0.5 ) , one obtains 3 for the modal mass a value of about 0.96 p a³ if only the outer tank is filled , and 1. 14 pa³ if both tanks are filled . Here one should notice that the phase relations of the propellant in these two tanks in the important frequency range decrease the effective mass rather than increase it . A much more favorable situation is obtained by subdivision of the tank with radial walls , for instance , by subdividing into four - quarter tanks . Here the modal mass belonging to the first Eigen frequency is only 0.46 pa³ ; that is , it is only about a third of the value of the circular cylindrical tank . If all modal masses in the four - quar- ter tank arrangement were added and the sum were compared with the circular cylindrical tank , it would only total about half of the mass . It can be concluded that subdivision of tanks into sector tanks has great advantage with respect to the prevention of the effect of propellant sloshing upon the stability of the total vehicle . Furthermore , it has the advantage that the vibrating masses are distributed to various sloshing modes . This means they have their largest influence at different frequencies . The non-oscillating mass mo is located a little below the center of gravity of the = m The liquid ( Fig. 20 ) . The spring constant kn is given by the equation kn 32 n-1 n moment of inertia of the disc for containers with circular and annular cross section is given in Figure 21. For decreasing liquid height , the moment of inertia increases with decreasing diameter ratio . After the introduction of the linear damping terms into the mechanical model , damping can be introduced into the theory of liquid motion . In the solution of the me- chanical model , we have introduced in place of the resonance terms ( 1-2 ) the values 'n- 1 ( 1 -n² , + 2iyn . ) . Performing this with the formulas of the results of the ideal liquid ( 62 ) , n'n- 1 n- 1 ( 65 ) , (67) , and ( 68 ) , one obtains the results for the damped liquid motion . In Figure 22 , the magnification function , Fo , of the force for the translatory excitation is given Ꭹ with the damping factor yn as a parameter . The parabola is the force if we consider the liquid as rigid . From there , it can be seen that , in the first resonance , very large forces can appear and that they are a multiple of the inertial force . phase of the force . Figure 23 shows the Introducing the experimental results into these figures will lead to the equivalent linear damping coefficients by comparison with the theoretical curves . Other possibilities for determination of the damping can be obtained by measuring the surface displacement , pressure distribution , and the moments and their phases ( Fig . 24 and 25) . With these , we obtain the same results as with the force measurements . The free surface displacement measurement will be obtained at the tank walls in the plane of excitation . 37 Another method , which represents an approximate determination of the damping directly from the experimental results , can also be applied . Since we are particularly interested in the magnitude in the vicinity of the first resonance , we consider the magnification function about the first resonance . frequency if the damping Yn y is small . Its maximum will be close to the natural The amplitude at the natural frequency is 1/2 √1-2 which for small damping can be approximated by 1/2 y . Since the damping factor not only depends on the maximum height of the magnification function but also on its width , one chooses on the response curve at the height 1/ 2y2 the points P₁1 and P½ for which 1 n² 24/2 ( 1 −n² ) ² + 4y²n² ( Fig. 26 ) . This is a biquadratic equation for which n₁ and n₂ can be determined . N2-71 = An≈ 2y. It is The results obtained in this manner are in agreement with those ob- tained from the measured experimental values as read off from the theoretical curves . An experimental program using a 105inch diameter container yielded the fol- lowing: a. Theoretical results have been verified . b. Approximate values for the equivalent damping of the liquid have. been obtained. C. The efficiency of various damping devices has been determined . d. The effect of the difference of the viscosities of the conventional propellants compared with the viscosity of water could be neglected . The container is mounted on a carriage which was excited harmonically with constant amplitude ( Fig. 27 and 28 ) . The nearly conical tank bottom part is substituted in the theoretical investigations by an equivalent circular cylinder whose length is determined by the volume of the conical part . cles . The forced frequency is varied up to 1.9 cy- Since the viscosity of the conventional propellants is similar to that of water and does not show an important influence , water was used for the experiments . With these results , the damping of the modal masses can be determined . the moment of inertia and the damping of the disc are missing . Only For these we go back to equations ( 52 ) and ( 53 ) and set the displacement yn of the modal masses m equal to zero ; that is , we consider the completely closed container . With the formula of the moment ( 58 ) , the effective moment of inertia , If , of the liquid , which is given for ideal liquid by the formula ( 69) , will be substituted by If. Furthermore , there is an addi- tional term due to the damping of the liquid in the completely closed container which is of the form co , as can be concluded by the comparison with the moment of the mechani- 38 cal model ( 61 ) . The values , If and c , will be obtained by torsion spring experiments of the completely closed fuel container . They depend upon the properties of the liquid , the tank geometry , and the number and size of baffles in the tank . For the determination of and c the values of the mechanical model , we consider the equation ( 58 ) , which 'd' Id with ( 60 ) can be written in this form , ÏŸ+ñ¢ = 0 . f Here I d =I 2 ´rigid ¯1+ ( c / NI¿) ² If and cd c = 2 2 1+( c /NI ) ² Once the values I of the effective moment of inertia and è of the effective damping have of the disc and the damping been experimentally determined , the moment of inertia , I 'd' coefficient , c can be obtained . One determines from the above equations d' c2 = I d d rigi -If I 1+ 2 22 (I (Irigid-If) and c2 C 1+ = c 522 (1 12 rigid For small damping , the term co in the moment can be omitted and the effective moment of inertia can be assumed to be of the form ( 69 ) as obtained by the theory of potential flow . Figure 29 shows the effective moment of inertia for a completely filled and closed container with circular and annular cross section . For small and large fluid heights , the effective moment of inertia approaches the value of a rigid body . For increasing diameter ratio k , the minimum ( which is located approximately at a place where the height equals the outer diameter ) shifts in direction of larger fluid heights and has a larger value . In the container with circular cross section , it is located at a fluid height h≈ 1.72a and the moment of inertia is only 16 per cent of that of the rigid body . sults of the damping measurements are given in Table 6. Re- There the damping values , which have been obtained from the free surface displacement , have a considerable scatter . This is caused by the disturbed flow field around the baffles . The damping values have been obtained from three different fluid heights : h₁ = 1.40 meter , h₂ = 1.65 meter , = 2.70 meter . At the last two fluid heights , 3-inch wide stiffener rings have been attached in the tank . As one can conclude from the results of the mechanical model , the modal mass for a fluid height , h₁ , is about 42 per cent of the liquid mass , 33 per cent at the fluid height , h₂ , and about 28 per cent for the fluid height , hz . This , 39 of course , has an influence on the results of the damping values . Furthermore , the location and width of the baffle have a decisive influence upon the damping factor . SECTION IV . INFLUENCE OF PROPELLANT SLOSHING UPON THE STABILITY OF A SPACE VEHICLE The motion of the liquid propellant in the tanks of a space vehicle represents a potential hazard for stability and control due to its low natural frequencies which are usually very close to the control frequency . The stability of a space vehicle can be tremendously influenced by this propellant sloshing . The possibility of the destabilizing effect of the propellant is investigated by variation of parameters . The propellant motion in the containers will be described by the mechanical model as derived in Section III . The stability boundaries are given by the necessary damping values of the propel- lant along the vehicle . The influence of tank geometry ( which essentially determines the magnitude of the modal masses of the liquid) , the influence of the location of the tank , and the influence of the various gain values of the control system are investigated . the influence of additional control elements upon stability will be studied . Also , To simplify the computation , aerodynamic effects and the inertia of the swivel engines will be neglected . As shown in the previous section , the first modal mass of the liquid is sufficient in circular symmetric containers to describe the motion of the propellant; higher modal masses have practically no influence on stability . Only in the four - quarter tank arrange- ment, the two lower modal masses have to be considered . This seems necessary be- cause the second modal mass can no longer be neglected with respect to the first one . The control moments will be produced by swivel engines . In the following , a space vehicle is treated with a simple control system and additional control by an accelerometer . The coordinate system has its origin at the center of gravity of the undis- turbed space vehicle . The accelerated coordinate system is substituted by an inertial system such that the space vehicle is subjected to an equivalent field of acceleration ( Fig . 30 ) . The centrifugal and Coriolis forces , which result from a rotation , will be neglected . Furthermore , the acceleration in direction of the trajectory , the mass , and the moment of inertia will be considered constant. The following investigations are re- stricted to the interaction of translatory , y , and rotational motion , 9 , as well as the propellant oscillations , yn , and bending vibrations , 7n', in the plane . For simplification , the so - called disc motion is omitted . It is assumed that only half of the thrust is available for control purposes . In the numerical procedure , the bending vibrations will not be treated . A. EQUATIONS OF MOTION The equation of motion perpendicular to the trajectory is with m as the total mass of the space vehicle , m₁ λ as the modal mass of the propellant , attitude angle , F the thrust , and ẞ as the swivel angle : 40 as the deviation of the ΣΜ mÿ Σ λλ λ mÿ + - F❤ - 2 = 0. B + F Σ n₁₂ β ν YΕν ע (70) The factor 1/2 in the control term is there because only half of the thrust is available for control purposes . The displacement of the modal mass , m₂ of the propellant with respect to the tank wall is denoted by yλ. The transversal displacement of the space vehicle from its trajectory is given by y . The last term in the equation represents the generalized translatory force of the thrust with respect to bending .

( 76) STABILITY BOUNDARIES OF A SPACE VEHICLE WITH A SIMPLE CONTROL SYSTEM To obtain the main results of the influence of the propellant sloshing on the stability with minimum numerical effort , we will first treat the equations of motion and the propellant as free to oscillate in one tank only . This is justified in many vehicles , since the propellant masses in the other tanks are sometimes considerably smaller . It is also justified in the same way for the Saturn vehicle whose booster tanks consist of many containers with smaller diameters . Here , the sum of these sloshing masses is relatively below the one of the large second stage tank. Sometimes for tanks with lighter propellant ( such as liquid hydrogen) whose density is only a fraction of that of liquid oxygen , its modal mass , compared with the heavy propellant , can be neglected . Furthermore , we will consider the space vehicle as rigid ( n ,, = 0 ) . If one introduces the value n. = 0 into equations 70 , 71 , 72 , 74 and 75 and chooses only one equation, 72 , V we obtain the equations of motion of a rigid space vehicle with additional control by an accelerometer .

This means that only within these boundaries stability is guaranteed .

The total length of the space vehicle is 56. 5-meters . If an accelerometer was used for additional control its location was at x = −6 meters ( in front of the center of gravity ) . 47 1. Rigid Space Vehicle Without Accelerometer Control . Using control with- out an accelerometer ( λ = 0 ) ( a simple attitude control system) results in a stability polynomial of fourth degree . The coefficients B , would be obtained from ( 77) and ( 80 ) if one introduces w = ∞ and λ = 0 ( B = B5 = 0 )˚, the stability boundaries due to Bn B₁ =0 a = • again are straight lines , έs ± √( 1 - μ ) The stability boundary from the Hurwitz μ determinant H = 0 ( here Hg = 0 or B1 B2 B3 = B₂ B3 n-1 + B B ) is 2 ( 83) S S ( K₁+K5¢ ¸+K65² ) +4y² ( K7+K¸¢ ¸ +K95² ) +8y³ = 0 , +2¥¸ ( K₁+K½§¸+K¸§²) where K₁ = k₁kзkę – kk, – kọk = kåk5k6 + k₁k3kg − 2kokgkg - kk10 K2 = k₁k5k8 – k。k² – k²k11 K3 = k₁kk6 + k2k3k6 + k₁k3kg − 2kkk7 - 2k1k2k9 = k2k5k6 + k1k5k7 + k₁k4k8 + k2k3kg – 2kkk8 – 2k₁k2k10 = k2k5k8 – 2k1k2k11 = k2k4k6 + k₁kåkŋ + kåkåkŋ – kŋk? K4 K5 K6 Kr = Kg – kåkg k2k5k7 + k2k4k8 – kk10 = Kg kak11 K10 = k₂kk11 . The points of intersection of this stability boundary with the setting y = 0 and solving the quadratic equation in S S axis are obtained by K₁ + K25g + K35² S = 0. The roots §1 = - | §a | 52 = ६, 5a ( 1 - μ ) /a v² give a first indication for the critical area . magnitude . Here 1/a v² is considered to be of small O S This assumption is satisfied in most cases if the control frequency is far enough away from the Eigen frequency of the liquid . Therefore , the result expresses S that the stability boundary for small values of 1 / a intersects the 。 – axis in the =X vicinity of the center of gravity ( origin) and the instantaneous center of rotation §α =x¿/ k . 2 48 One can see that 1/a . 2 becomes , due to the factor of 1 - μ , sensitive to changes of This indicates that for decreasing gain values , a。 , the intersection point shifts toward the tail of the vehicle . The same behavior occurs if vS = ws/wc decreases . This means that , for decreasing Eigen frequency of the liquid or increasing control frequency , damping must be applied in the aft section of the space vehicle . Figure 31 indicates that the danger zone for instability of the vehicle is located approximately between the center of gravity and the center of instantaneous rotation . In this zone the propellant must be more or less damped , depending on the magnitude of the modal mass of the liquid . For increasing modal mass , not only more damping is needed in the danger zone , but also more damping is required to maintain stability . This is most unfavorable if the control frequency is below the Eigen frequency of the propellant , that is , if vs S < 1.0 . For vs > 2 , the wall friction ( s = 0.01 ) is already sufficient to guarantee stability . The change of the control damping C indicates that , for increasing subcritical < 1 , the stability in the danger zone will be diminished while , for increased C supercritical damping C > 1 , the stability is enhanced . This means that less damping is damping necessary in the container to maintain stability in the case C>1 . No additional baffles are ≤ 0.5 required in the danger zone if the mass ratio µ = 0. 1 , and the control damping עS = or ≥ 2.0 . This means that , for these values and the parameters vs = 2.5 and a = 3.5 , the wall friction in the container is sufficient to maintain stability . Another important question of great interest for the design of a large space vehicle is the choice of the form of the propellant containers . As seen from Sections II and III , the tank geometry plays an important role for the modal masses and the natural frequencies of the propellant . Containers with large diameters exhibit small natural frequencies which are often too close to the control frequency . Of course , the magnitude of the modal mass magnifies considerably this unfavorable effect upon the stability . Clustering of numerous smaller containers not only increases the natural frequencies of the propellant ( due to smaller diameters ) , but also reduces the modal masses which is a much more important effect. In addition to weight saving and the slight increase of the natural frequencies , subdivision of tanks by sector walls has the advantage of distributing the modal masses to different vibration modes of the liquid . To summarize : with increasing mass, stability decreases . The influence of the Eigen frequency change of the propellant with fixed modal mass is such that a decrease of the natural frequency increases the danger zone toward the end of the vehicle and requires more local damping in the propellant. With increasing natural frequency of the liquid , the influence of the propellant sloshing on the stability of the vehicle diminishes more and more . Wall friction is already sufficient to maintain stability . The gain value , ao , of the attitude control system shows , for decreasing magnitude , a decrease of stability in addition to a small enlargement of the danger zone toward the end of the vehicle . 49 2. Rigid Space Vehicle With Ideal Accelerometer Control . Introducing into the control system an additional control element in the form of an ideal accelerometer ( wa >> wc) , proper choice of the gain value , g₂ , which determines the influence of the accelerometer in the control system , can minimize the danger zone . This indicates that the possibility of an instability due to the propellant sloshing in a container can be considerably diminished ( Fig . 32 ) . Because of va >> 1 , the coefficients of the stability polynomial are B = B5 = 0 , and one obtains again a stability polynomial of fourth degree . The same formulas are valid as in the previous case except that in the values , k¡ , the appropriate terms with › have to be considered . The boundaries B4 = 0 are again straight lines , usS 1 μλ a ( 50+50 )+ μ 4 ( 5回+5日 ) 2μ (λ- 2 ) { 4 λ λ --2 E 52) a 2-164( 2 ( 1-4 )50 • 50a]} ( 50+ 50) (5_+ 2-16 (1-1 ) [1-4 즐즐 , ( 84) 1 + - a √1- 2 4µ² ( λ− 2 ) 2 which are parallel to the yS -axis . 2 E } } For values , λ = g 'g₂ < 1 , the danger zone is located approximately behind the center of instantaneous rotation and shifts with decreasing gain value g₂ toward a zone between the center of gravity and center of instantaneous rotation . The stability decreases , which means more damping in the tank is necessary for increasing > > 1. This means that , for stronger influence of the accelerometer in the control system , the danger zone shifts in front of the center of instantaneous rotation and increases with increasing gain value toward the nose of the vehicle . For propellant containers in this location , strong damping must be applied to obtain stability . For values , λ = 1.5 , the vehicle is instable if the tank with 10 per cent slosh mass is located in front of the center of instantaneous rotation , and if no additional baffles are applied. stable . For containers behind the center of instantaneous rotation , the vehicle is Furthermore , one recognizes that λ = 1.0 represents the most favorable gain value . In this case the danger zone shrinks to a small region around the center of instantaneous rotation . The change of the other parameters , such as the slosh mass ratio μ , the frequency ratio v S = w /w , the control system damping e , as well as the gain value a of the attitude system, exhibits the same influence as the previous case . An enlargement of the danger zone toward the end of the vehicle occurs for large control frequencies and also for small propellant frequencies ( v S < 1 ) , even in the most favorable case λ = 160. The addition of an accelerometer introduces another important parameter : its location a . For λ = 1 , the most favorable case for an ideal accelerometer , the influence of its location upon stability of the space vehicle is unimportant . For other values g₂ , the location of the accelerometer has considerable influence upon stability . The strong effect of the accelerometer in the control system ( λ > 1.5) exhibits strong instability if the container is located behind the center of instantaneous rotation with the accelerometer being in front of the center of gravity. 50 Propellant sloshing in those tanks located in front of the center of instantaneous rotation will make the vehicle instable if the accelerometer is in front of the center of gravity . For decreasing values g₂ < 1/ g , the stability behavior of the vehicle approaches that of a rigid vehicle without additional accelerometer control . These results are too optimistic since every accelerometer has its own vibrational characteristics which must be considered . 3. Rigid Space Vehicle With Real Accelerometer Control . The dynamic have a behavior of an accelerometer , and its natural frequency and damping factor non -negligible influence upon the overall stability of the vehicle . From the results of equations 78 and 80 , it is recognized that the stability polynomial is of sixth degree . Therefore , the stability boundaries are given by H5 = 0 , and B B6 = 0 ( equations 81 and 82 ) .. The main influence arises from the natural frequency of the accelerometer . In the numerical evaluation , two circular frequencies wa = 55 ; 12 rad/ sec are considered for the accelerometer . Figure 33 indicates that , for decreasing accelerometer frequency (with a damping factor , a =√2 ) the danger zone increases from the center of instantaneous rotation toward the end of the vehicle . The influence of increasing liquid mass has the same effect as previously with the exception that it is very much amplified for small Eigen frequencies of the accelerometer ; a large amount of damping is required in the container in order to obtain stability of the space vehicle . For the natural frequency of the accelerometer of w = 55 rad/ sec , wall friction is already sufficient to a maintain stability . For small natural frequencies of the accelerometer , propellant sloshing is even excited . This means that the situation is more unfavorable with an accelerometer than in the case without one . The damping required in such a case would be about three to four times as much as in the case without additional accelerome ter control . This indicates that the natural frequency of the accelerometer should be chosen as large as possible . To recognize the influence of the accelerometer characteristics , we consider the effect of the changes of the Eigen frequency , wa , the damping factor , Ša , and the coordinate of location , xa , upon the stability of the space vehicle . For increasing natural frequency of the accelerometer wa < ws , an increase of the danger zone is obtained , and more damping is required in the container to maintain stability . Above the natural frequency of the propellant, a decrease of the danger zone and enhanced stability can be observed . This means that less damping is required to maintain stabil- ity . The larger the frequency ratio va/v S = wa/ w S', the less damping is required in the continuously decreasing danger zone . The influence of the frequency , w , and the damp- ing factor , a , of the accelerometer can be seen in Figure 34. The increase of Sa Sa enlarges the danger zone and requires more damping in the propellant container . This effect is more pronounced the smaller the Eigen frequency of the accelerometer . From a damping factor a or greater , which is about twice the critical damping , one recognizes, in the case wa = 12 rad/sec , that a further increase of the damping factor decreases the danger zone slightly from the back and slightly enhances the stability . A very important a,' of an parameter in the design of a control system of a space vehicle is the location , έa additional control element in the form of an accelerometer . The influence of this value can be seen in Figure 35. An accelerometer location behind the center of gravity of the 51 vehicle must be avoided . hances the stability . Shifting the accelerometer toward the nose of the vehicle en- An increase of the control frequency we ( Fig . 36 ) below the natural frequency of the propellant ( vS > 1 ) increases the danger zone toward the tail ω of the vehicle . For wa = 55 rad/ sec , the required damping in the liquid for maintaining stability of the vehicle is relatively small ( yS = 0.005 and less ) . The influence of the control damping § C is given by the fact that , for increasing subcritical control damping Sc < 1 , the danger zone decreases and the stability increases , while for supercritical C > 1 , the stability becomes more unfavorable ( Fig . 37 ) . The influence of the damping ¿ ¿ propellant frequency being below the control frequency indicates again the enlarged danger zone which stretches nearly from the center of instantaneous rotation toward the end of the vehicle . Increasing propellant frequency leads to a decreasing danger zone and less required damping . Approaching the Eigen frequency of the accelerometer makes the vehicle more unstable and increases the danger zone toward the end of the vehicle . The gain value , ao , has only small influence upon the stability . Its gain growth in- creases stability slightly and decreases the danger zone some . Of important influence upon stability is the gain value , g₂ , of the accelerometer because it presents the strength of the accelerometer in the control system . Figure 38 exhibits this influence for two accelerometer frequencies . For an Eigen frequency of the accelerometer of wa w = 55 rad/sec , one recognized similar behavior as in the ideal accelerometer case . For values of λ = 1.5 , an increase of λ = gg2 exhibits an increase in stability and decrease of the danger zone between the center of instantaneous rotation and the center of gravity of the vehicle . For further increase of A, the danger zone shifts in front of the center of instantaneous rotation . With increasing λ, more damping is required in the propel- lant container in that zone to maintain stability . frequency , the situation is quite different . constantly decreases . For an accelerometer with small Eigen For increasing gain value , g₂ , the stability Here , the influence of the accelerometer favors instability . It not only increases the danger zone toward the end of the vehicle , but it also requires considerably more damping in the tank. It even requires more damping as in the case λ = 0 (without accelerometer control ) . From this one can again conclude that large accelerometer frequency is required to stabilize the vehicle with respect to propellant sloshing in the tank . The conclusion can also be made that the danger zone is located between the center of instantaneous rotation and the center of gravity , and that it can be diminished by an additional control element in the form of an accelerometer whose Eigen frequency and location have to be properly chosen. These results are valid only for the rigid vehicle , in which the sloshing propellant mass in one container is much larger than that in the other tanks . With more than one sloshing mass of equal magni- tude , the results will probably look different. Furthermore , it has to be mentioned that the bending vibration of the vehicle has an effect on the propellant sloshing as well as on the choice of the accelerometer characteristics and its location . If the control freqency and the first bending frequency are sufficiently separated from each other , then the location of an accelerometer requires negative displacement of the bending modes if the bending modes are normalized at the tail of the vehicle . This indicates , that , for the control of the first two bending modes , an approximate location of the accelerometer in front of the center of gravity is appropriate . 52 This location would also be favorable from the standpoint of propellant sloshing . From the point of view of rigid body control which restricts the gain values to certain values ( Fig. 39 ) , care must be taken . C. STABILITY BOUNDARIES FOR SPACE VEHICLES WITH TWO CONTAINERS AND SIMPLE CONTROL SYSTEM OR QUARTER TANK ARRANGEMENT Considering a rigid space vehicle with a simple control system of the form B = a + а₁ and the liquid in two tanks free to oscillate , one has to substitute into the equations 70 , 71 , and 72 for v = 0 0 and and λ λ = = 1 and 2. Introducing again into the thus t obtained differential equations the time dependency , esc , one obtains for nontrivial solutions the determinant : s2w2 C -8- ½ ( a taw 0 gxE s²w² 22E s²w²+ (2 2k² ( a +a₁sw ) C s2w2 C - (X₁w²s²+g) C 8) Myw² C s² M₂w2 s² C _141 ( x₁ w² s²+g) k2 -1 k ( x₂w²s²+g) C s²w² +2x₁w w₁s+w?} C 0 = 0. ( 85) s2w2 w² s²+2y₂2 w₂ w s + w ? C - ( x₂w² s² +g) 0 Here μ₁ = m₁/ m and μ = m₂/m are the modal masses in the two containers or the first two modal masses in the quarter tank arrangement . The evaluation of the above de- terminant results in a stability polynomial of the sixth degree . To represent the sta- bility boundaries in the two - dimensional case , the damping factors in the two containers = are set to be equal (Y1 Y₂ = Y ) . Furthermore , one chooses the distance of the rear S container ( 1 ) to the front container ( 2 ) to be of value . Therefore , it is x₁ = x's ' X₂ = xS + l . The stability boundaries again are obtained from H5 = 0 , B6 = 0. The last condition again represents , in the ( §§ - Ys ) - plane , parallel straight lines to the Ys = = l /k axis which in most cases have no practical meaning . It is when l + 2 [1 -- . ī} = $1: 2 + 2 -. 土 - 2 { " The main purpose of this investigation is to treat two circular cylindrical containers in tandem arrangement with the modal slosh masses being considered approximately equal . Figure 40 gives the results for two containers of equal volume and with a modal mass distance of 4. 2 -meters . The danger zone as a whole shifts slightly toward the end of the vehicle and the required damping in the containers is approximately the same as that of a vehicle with one container with double the modal slosh mass . The results of the 53 change of parameters are similar to those in the stability investigation with one propellant container . Enlarging the distance between the two propellant containers , however , one recognizes that the danger zone in which damping has to be provided will shift with nearly unchanged magnitude toward the tail of the vehicle . Furthermore , it indicates that a little less local damping is required . This is an important result because it expresses that - for a multi - stage space vehicle in which the forward modal mass location is constant during first stage flight time and the other mass location is shifting away from this - the entire rear part of the vehicle must be provided with appropriate baffles . With clustered circular cylindrical containers whose modal masses are at the same height , a considerable reduction of modal propellant masses is obtained as compared to a single circular cylindrical container of equal volume . Furthermore , the natural frequency of the propellant is slightly increased by clustering tanks . For p containers , the natural frequency of the liquid is proportional to the fourth root of the number of containers . ( p) f n tanh ( Є \p( h/ a ) ) = p ( 86) tanh* ( Є h/a) n f(1) n The total mass of the propellant reduces proportionally to the reciprocal value of the square root of the number of containers : ( p) m S 1 tanh ( eVp n h/a ) (1) p tanh ( Є ( 87) m h/a) n S In clustered containers a smaller total mass of the liquid oscillates with higher S is a little larger , both enhancing stability . The frequency ; that is , µ is smaller and wg influence of the various parameters is the same as in the case of one container with a simple control system. Because of structural reasons and due to the increased weight of the containers , the clustering of propellant containers has some disadvantages . Change in tank geometry can minimize the influence of propellant sloshing upon stability ; that is , by subdividing the tanks , the magnitude of the modal slosh masses can be reduced and the slosh frequencies can be increased . We consider two possibilities for the subdivision of the circular cylindrical containers . For example , one would expect that by properly using a concentric wall to subdivide a tank , the phase relation of the modal masses in the inner and outer tank could be tuned to minimize the effect of propellant sloshing upon stability . To accomplish this , the magnitude of modal masses in the inner tank and in the annular ring tank should be approximately equal . At a diameter ratio of k = b/a≈0.77, the modal masses of the two containers are approximately equal . Unfortunately , their frequencies are not very favorable . Therefore , one does not obtain the optimal cancellation of the effect of these two propellant motions . 54 At the diameter ratio of k = 0.5 the phases are very favorable ; however , the modal masses working against each other are only of the ratio 1 : 5. For the diameter ratios k = 0.3 , 0.5 and 0.7 , the required damping in the containers for maintaining the stability is approximately 12 : 9.8 . container . The behavior of the various parameters is similar to the case of one The other possibility of reducing the influence of propellant sloshing on the stability of the space vehicle is to subdivide the tanks with radial walls . The most im- portant form of a subdivision by sector walls is the four -quarter tank arrangement. In this tank arrangement , the second modal mass of the propellant also must be considered in the treatment of stability. This tank arrangement has the great advantage that only about one-third of the propellant mass oscillates . The second modal mass in the four- quarter tank arrangement is about 43 per cent of that of the first. be considered in stability investigations . Therefore , it must Compared with a space vehicle with circular cylindrical container , a four - quarter tank arrangement requires only half the damping. The overall stability is , therefore , considerably enhanced . The results for the four- quarter tank arrangement can be seen in Figures 41 and 42. For increasing modal mass , more damping is required . Again , the danger zone is located between the center of gravity and the center of instantaneous rotation . Increase of subcritical control damping decreases stability while the increase of supercritical damping increases stability . For increasing control frequency , the danger zone enlarges toward the end of the space vehicle , and a larger local damping is required to maintain stability . The influence of the Eigen frequency of the propellant is similar to the case of a space vehicle with one propellant container . If the natural frequencies of the propellant are below control frequency , the propellant has to be strongly damped in the enlarged danger zone . Small gain values , a , require more baffling in an enlarged danger zone . SECTION V. CONCLUSION In the stability consideration of large liquid propelled space vehicles , the influence of propellant sloshing has to be considered in the dynamic treatment . To eliminate instability caused by propellant oscillations, several possibilities can be applied : first , subdivision of the propellant containers in which the oscillating liquid masses are decreased and distributed to different modes , thereby increasing the Eigen frequency of the propellant ; second , proper location of the propellant container ; third , appropriate choice of the control system , proper choice of gain values and additional control elements ; and fourth , introduction of baffles into the liquid to disturb the flow field . For the determination of the flow field of the propellant in a circular cylindrical ring sector tank , the linearized equations and boundary conditions are treated with the liquid of a free fluid surface . The liquid has been considered incompressible , non- viscous , and irrotational . The behavior of the liquid in circular cylindrical sector tank containers with circular cross section , annular cross section or one - quarter circular cross section can 55 be obtained by limit considerations . The natural frequencies of the liquid are indirectly proportional to the square root of the tank diameter and decrease with increasing tank diameter . Furthermore , they increase with the longitudinal acceleration of the space vehicle . The influence upon the Eigen frequencies of the liquid by the tank geometry is exhibited by the value έmn . The Eigen values are influenced less by concentric walls but exhibit quite à change if radial walls are introduced in a tank. The influence of the liquid height upon the Eigen frequencies is only noticeable if the liquid height is less than the tank radius . For decreasing liquid heights the natural frequency of the propellant tends toward zero . As in a mechanical vibration system, the magnitude of the surface displacement , the forces and moments of the liquid are increasing with increasing exciting frequency before the first resonance . For a frequency band around the Eigen frequencies of the propellant , violent liquid motion takes place in the container . the resonances the magnification functions decrease again. Behind To introduce a damping into the results of an ideal flow theory a mechanical model ( spring -mass system) is derived which describes the motion of the propellant for the stability investigations . By introduction of each vibration mode as an independent degree of freedom , and by comparison of the results of the ideal fluid theory with those of the mechanical model , the spring constants as well as the magnitude and location of the masses of the mechanical model are obtained . Magnitude and location of the masses depend on the container geo- metry and the liquid height ; therefore , the influence of the liquid propellant upon the stability of a space vehicle has been affected by the container geometry . Since the liquid particularly oscillates only in the vicinity of the free fluid surface , the absolute values of the masses for fluid heights larger than the tank diameter are independent of the tank filling . With increasing Eigen frequency the disturbances shift further toward the free fluid surface . The mass ratio of the modal mass to the total liquid mass increases with decreasing fluid height . This ratio indicates that in a long container for which the ratio of the fluid height to the tank diameter is large , only a small amount of the total liquid participates in the propellant sloshing . In short con- tainers a large amount of propellant participates in these vibrations . For decreasing liquid heights the location of the modal mass shifts into the immediate vicinity of the center of gravity of the liquid . gravity of the liquid . The nonvibrating mass is located close to the center of In containers of symmetrical circular cross section , the first modal mass represents the main part of the oscillating propellant . The second modal mass , in the case of a container of circular or annular cross section , represents only 3 per cent , respectively, 12 per cent of the first modal mass . This indicates that for stability investigations these and higher modal masses can be neglected . For a four- quarter tank arrangement the mass of the second mode has to be considered since it represents still 43 per cent of the first modal mass . A decrease of the modal masses can, obviously be performed by subdividing the container using radial and concentric walls . It has been shown that the subdivision by radial walls is much more effective . In the case of four -quarter containers the vibrating liquid mass is reduced to more than half of that of a cylindrical container of circular cross section . Another advantage is exhibited by the fact that the vibrating masses are distributed to various vibrating modes and the Eigen frequency is slightly increased . 56 The nonlinear damping of the liquid is introduced into the forced vibrations as equivalent linear damping , which is determined by experiments . For the determination of the magnitude and location of the required damping in the containers , one treats the stability of the vehicle by considering the equations of motion for translation , pitching about the center of gravity of the vehicle , the oscilt lating propellant and the control system . With the usual solution in the form of eswc the characteristic polynomial is obtained and is treated with the Hurwitz criterion . Here the stability boundaries are best determined in terms of the location of the modal masses and the damping factor of the propellant liquid . Not only the magnitude of the damp- ing, but also its location , is obtained . The results of the investigation of a rigid space vehicle with a simple control system and one propellant container in which the liquid is considered to oscillate, show that along the vehicle a danger zone for instabilities appears . This is located between the center of gravity and the center of instantaneous rotation . In this location the pro- pellant must be more or less damped according to the magnitude of the modal mass of the propellant . To avoid this , the container with large modal mass should be located behind the center of gravity . If the natural frequencies of the propellant are in the proximity of the control frequency , which is sometimes the case with large containers , then the danger zone increases further behind the center of gravity toward the end of the vehicle . Therefore , the Eigen frequencies of the propellant should be as far above the control frequency as possible . The change of the control system damping exhibits , with increasing subcritical damping , a decrease in stability , and with increasing supercritical damping , enhanced stability in the danger zone . Decrease of the attitude con- trol value , a。, results in a small decrease in stability . The introduction of an accelerometer as an additional control element into the control system can enhance the stability considerably if the vibrational characteristics , the location of the accelerometer , and its gain value are chosen appropriately . Here the location , the Eigen frequency , and the gain value of the accelerometer play an important role . With properly chosen accelerometer characteristics , the danger zone can be reduced to a small region about the center of instantaneous rotation . If the gain value of the accelerometer is smaller , the danger zone expands into the direction of the center of gravity . If it is too large , the danger zone shifts in front of the center of instantaneous rotation and requires comparatively large damping in the propellant containers . Here the accelerometer is located in front of the center of gravity and its natural frequency is appropriately separated from the control frequency . If the latter is not the case , the propellant sloshing is excited and strong damping is required in the tanks . The mounting of an accelerometer behind the center of gravity must be avoided . Increasing damping factor of the accelerometer requires more damping in the containers located in the danger zone . 57 With two containers in the tandem tank arrangement , the danger zone shifts with increasing distance of the modal masses toward the end of the space vehicle . With in- creasing flight time , the distance of the modal masses increases ( which takes place during the draining of the first stage containers ) . Therefore , the total rear part of the vehicle has to be provided with appropriate damping in order to maintain stability . 58 b Σπα 'Y 물 sku clav N 59 X ' X GEOMETRY TANK AND TE SYSTEM COORDINA 1.

Some Series of the Roots of Bessel Functions . During the course of the introduction of equivalent damping into the result of the ideal fluid theory a few formulas had to be brought into the form of those of the mechanical model . Certain series expan- sions of the roots of Bessel functions had been used , which will be derived here . The expansion of r/a into a Bessel Fourier- Series was ( B6 ) 8 J₁ (E n 2 a) r = 2 2 a ( B28) Σ n= 0 Є ) ( e²n - 1 ) J₁ ( E n with which we obtain for r = a 1/2 1 = 2 ( c² – 1) n n=0 Expansion of r³ in a Bessel- Fourier Series in the Interval o ≤ r≤ a results in r³ = Σ Σ n 픔) na n= 0 where a of r² J₁ ( En n ¹) dr a α n r J₁ ( e ) dr na 120 ( B29 ) The integral of the numerator can be obtained from ( B6 ) if one takes к = 4 and v = 1 of the Bessel functions and Ji ( € ) = 0 it is n with the recursion formulas a O a5 1) dr = 4 r4 J₁ ( € Ε n a n €² - 8 ) J₁ ( €n ) .
