the action of liquid in a bottle when it is moved with turbulance

[Dr.Appalayya]

I am looking for a (verb ) word that describes the movement of liquid from its bottom to top of a vessel or a bottle when the latter is taken or transported with violent movements. In other words, the water rises to the top and falls to its actual level because of its movement.

One word to describe this is "sloshes."
Ex:
When the plane hit some turbulence the beer in my cup sloshed around so much I was sure it would spill.

Yes, I agree, "to slosh" is the right verb.

... and when the shaking stops, the liquid 'settles'. A similar thing happens with cereals. To prevent people from asking 'Why is the packet so much bigger than it has to be?' the manufacturer usually prints a disclaimer - 'Some settlement of the contents may have occurred in transit'.

Does 'slosh' refer to both the sound and movement as well? I was under the impression that 'slosh' is the sound of the liquid in a container.

Yes - in the same way that unseen movements are mixed in with associated sounds in the phrasal verb 'to bang about' (which has nothing to do with sloshing - I'm just talking about a similar kind of imagery).
