Characterizing the movement of space propellant in the tank subjected to maneuvers and predicting its damping is a fundamental requirement for the success of space missions. In this work, we evaluate the capabilities of the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method (SPH) of characterizing liquid sloshi...
