A Numerical Study on the Effects of Perforated and Imperforate Baffles on the Sloshing Pressure of a Rectangular Tank

Sloshing has many industry applications, namely in offshore engineering, aerospace, ship building, and manufacturing. simulation is essential to better understand the sloshing pattern consequently improve tank design reduce noise levels, stresses on structure, optimize baffle configurations arrangements. Thus, aim of this study determine effects perforated (porous) imperforate (solid) baffles pressure using ANSYS FLUENT software based Volume Fluid (VOF) method where a rectangular with 25% 60% filling ratios was considered. In first case, an unbaffled ratio used for validation purpose, while second investigated considering two scenarios, baffled case baffles. The outcomes results indicate that can significantly tank. also shows good agreement published experimental results.
