Hybrid Magneto-Active Propellant Management Device For Active Slosh Damping Within A Vehicle Fuel Tank, Balaji Sivasubramanian, Leander Paul, Sathya Gangadharan

Publications

This disclosure includes a hybrid magneto-active mem­brane, which can be used as part of a Magneto-active Propellant Management Device (MAPMD), to actively con­trol free surface effects of liquid materials, such as fuels, and to reduce fuel slosh. The disclosed MAPMD merges aspects of a diaphragm membrane with a magneto-active inlay to control the membrane during in-flight conditions.
