The slosh natural frequencies, damping ratio, slosh mass and slosh force applying point of the liquid in cylindrical tank are estimated using the nonlinear least squares method in time domain. The estimated slosh model parameters are in good agreement with the results of the theoretical calculations for various liquid depths. Furthermore, this methodology will be applied to predict the sloshing parameters for a liquid propellant tank using ground experimental test-bed.
