The Sloshsat FLEVO project has an Investigators Working Group which prepared orbital experiments on the behavior of liquid in spacecraft. These are to be performed with a dedicated small satellite, of about 90 kg empty weight and about 34 kg of water in a 87 litre tank. The spacecraft dynamics are simulated by SMS, the Sloshsat Motion Simulator. SMS predictions and those generated by a CFD simulation are compared for an example.
