Abstract
Liquid sloshing is a problem that affects several industries. This paper presents a passivity based control strategy for slosh control. The lateral sloshing is represented by a simple pendulum and the tank carrying the liquid is approximated to an integrator system. Both the systems are independently passive. We find a feedback such that the closed loop formed on interconnection of the two systems is passive and hence stable. The controller designed is based on the energy balance of the system and is hence independent of the fluid properties.
