Experimental characterisation of sloshing tank dissipative behaviour in vertical harmonic excitation

Investigation on the sloshing effect in a 2D tank under harmonic excitation using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) and Finite Volume method (FVM)

Abstract Sloshing describes liquids motion in the semi-filled tanks, and exerts dynamic loading on its walls. This effect is of great importance in a number of dynamic systems e.g. aerospace vehicles, road tankers, liquefied natural gas carriers, elevated water towers and petroleum cylindrical tanks. Pressures insert impacts which are important for structural strength evaluation and its co...

A Boundary Element Investigation of Liquid Sloshing in Coupled Horizontal and Vertical Excitation

Sloshing flows in a two-dimensional rigid rectangular tank under specified excitations in the coupled horizontal and vertical modes are simulated by using a higher-order boundary element method BEM . The liquid sloshing is formulated as an initial-boundary-value problem based on the fully nonlinear potential flow theory. And a semi-mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian technique combined with the 4th-order...

Numerical Simulation of Sloshing Phenomena in Cubic Tank with Multiple Baffles

A two-phase fluid flow model solving Navier-Stokes equations was employed in this paper to investigate liquid sloshing phenomena in cubic tank with horizontal baffle, perforated vertical baffle, and their combinatorial configurations under the harmonic motion excitation. Laboratory experiment of liquid sloshing in cubic tank with perforated vertical baffle was carried out to validate the presen...

Transient Response of Sloshing Fluid in a Three Dimensional Tank

Sloshing waves in moving tanks have been studied numerically, theoretically and experimentally in the past several decades. Most reported studies have been for tanks excited by forcing motion in a limited number of directions and with fixed excitation frequencies throughout the forcing. In the present study, a time-independent finite difference method is used to simulate fluid sloshing in the t...
