Abstract

This experimental dataset was generated as part of a PhD research project on liquid sloshing for next-generation aircraft fuel tank applications (EP/W522223/1). It comprises three distinct experimental campaigns designed to characterise sloshing behaviour under a range of controlled dynamic conditions with water-air. A circular tank under forced horizontal excitation. A circular tank under forced vertical excitation. A circular tank under high-acceleration vertical excitation. Together, these campaigns provide a comprehensive set of measurements capturing fluid response in a circular tank across varied excitation modes and acceleration regimes. The dataset is intended to support further research, model validation, and the development of predictive tools for sloshing dynamics in aerospace fuel systems.
