Is there a software on the market that can be used to model fuel tank slosh? The problem encountered involves a large air bubble that moves suddenly creating a void. The fuel causes an audible excitation as it fills the void.
I'm thinking of modeling the problem using a motion analysis solution. I'll simulate the fuel with spheres in 3D (or circles in 2D. Does that sound reasonable?
