Experimental and numerical modeling of a sloshing problem in a stepped based rectangular tank

In this study, the two-dimensional sloshing of water in a stepped based tank partially filled was analyzed using an arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian adaptive fixed-mesh method and including Smagorinsky turbulence model. The numerical model is verified by contrasting predictions made with experimental results. subjected to controlled one-directional motion imposed shake table. free surface evolution followed ultrasonic sensors, high-speed camera used record experiments. analyses include comparison wave height at different control points snapshots for two frequencies. Also, detailed study effects frequency movement, step height, fluid volume on dynamics performed. Moreover, effect viscosity also studied. brief, proved be accurate, data were reported, results physical aspects exhaustively analyzed. proposed help understand geometries.
