Aerospace Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Aircraft Fuel Tank Slosh Model

This Aerospace Engineering final year project investigates examining movement of an idealised liquid mass in a fictional tank using a non-operational civil aerospace model, permitted teaching data or explicitly fictional system evidence.

Why choose this project topic?

The topic turns examining movement of an idealised liquid mass in a fictional tank into a bounded aerospace analysis with traceable assumptions. Comparing sloshing amplitude, load variation and resonance gives a student a clear route to technical figures, model verification and a critical discussion of the gap between a teaching study and operational performance.

How do the selected aerospace modelling or system assumptions affect sloshing amplitude, load variation and resonance when examining movement of an idealised liquid mass in a fictional tank?

Choose a documented teaching model or fictional civil aerospace case, then agree the parameter ranges and validation method for examining movement of an idealised liquid mass in a fictional tank.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the civil teaching model, assumptions and evidence needed for examining movement of an idealised liquid mass in a fictional tank.
  2. 02Use a documented simplified slosh model, compare fill fractions and excitation frequencies without handling aviation fuel.
  3. 03Compare sloshing amplitude, load variation and resonance and document uncertainty and operational limits.

A suggested research approach

Use a documented simplified slosh model, compare fill fractions and excitation frequencies without handling aviation fuel. Confirm data permission and keep the work separate from operational flight systems. Record units and model validity ranges, verify calculations against a reference, and report sloshing amplitude, load variation and resonance with sensitivity checks rather than presenting a single output as certified performance.

What you will need

  • Published slosh equations
  • Fictional tank geometry
  • Dynamics simulation tools

Keep your project scope clear

The model does not establish tank structural integrity or safe fuel-system operation.
