Slosh baffle

{{Short description|Device to dampen movement of liquids in a tank}}

A slosh baffle is a device used to dampen the adverse effects of liquid slosh in a tank. Slosh baffles have been implemented in a variety of applications including tanker trucks, and liquid rockets, although any moving tank containing liquid may employ them.{{cite conference |url=https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20110014009 |title=Slosh Baffle Design and Test for Spherical Liquid Oxygen and Liquid Methane Propellant Tank for a Lander |first1=Strahan |last1=Alan |first2=Humberto |last2=Hernandez |date=31 July 2011 |conference= 47th AIAAfASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Meeting; San Diego, CA; United States |publisher=NASA Johnson Space Center |location=Houston, TX |id=20110014009 |access-date=1 May 2018 }}

Baffle rings

Baffle rings are rigid rings placed within the inside of a tank to retard the flow of liquid between sections. The location and orifice size of the rings yield varying performance for a given application.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ctvhvH74ZzEC&dq=%22baffle+rings%22+slosh&pg=PA178|title=Liquid Sloshing Dynamics: Theory and Applications|last=Ibrahim|first=Raouf A.|date=2005-05-19|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=9781139444132|language=en}}
