The research on fuel loads at the Airbus Loads department will be put in context with the broader view and needs of the aerospace sloshing community. The application of a novel methodology for free surface modeling, developed in partnership with the University of Cape Town will be presented. An overview of the “Validation and Verification” process undergone by the method will be shown, with comparison of numerical simulation and experimental results. Further analysis of dynamic loads on the walls of fuel containers will be discussed for certain cases of interest for large aircraft. The industrial applications of a Reduced Order Model (ROM) developed to cover the design space of the fuel tanks will also be presented.
