Modeling And Control Of Space Vehicles With Fuel Slosh Dynamics, Mahmut Reyhanoglu

Mahmut Reyhanoglu

"Ever since the launch of the early high-efficiency rockets, controlling liquid fuel slosh within a launch vehicle has been a major design concern. Moreover, with today's large and complex spacecraft, a substantial mass of fuel is necessary to place them into orbit and to perform orbital maneuvers."--From the book's introduction.
