All of the relevant dimensionless parameters associated with fuel slosh can be very closely matched between the model and the full-scale spacecraft - the shape and locations of the propellant tanks, the mass, center-of-mass location and inertias of the vehicle, the Reynolds number of the fuids and the Froude number, which is essentially infinite during the freefall portion of the test...
