Reorientation of propellant within a tank is important to the design of many acquisition and vent systems. A drop tower test program was conducted to determine the influence of off-axis accelerations on the motion of the liquid. A series of 39 tests was performed with a spherical tank and a cylindrical tank with hemispherical end domes, varying tank orientation, liquid volume and the magnitude of the acceleration. It was shown that reorientation under the effect of a pure axial acceleration, which has been studied in prior test programs, is a special case. The lateral component of the acceleration caused the liquid to reorient along one side of the tank. The motion of the liquid appeared to be independent of the magnitude of the lateral acceleration for the range of values considered.
