An Analysis of Baffles Designs for Limiting Fluid Slosh in Partly Filled Tank Trucks
This study presents an analysis of effectiveness of different designs of baffles, including the conventional, partial and oblique, in limiting the manoeuvre-induced transient as well as steady-state fluid slosh forces and moments in a partly-filled tank truck. The effect of an alternating arrangement of partial baffles is also explored. A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model of ...
متن کاملCenter-Wing Fuel Tank Explosion
This report summarizes modeling studies supporting the second phase of quarter-scale testing for the NTSB investigation of the TWA Flight 800 accident. In this study, fuel-air tests were conducted to replicate earlier tests to assure repeatability of results. The quarter-scale test tank was redesigned to use heated Jet-A fuel/air mixtures at reduced ambient pressures. Although violent combustio...
متن کاملFluid–structure interaction analysis of the drop impact test for helicopter fuel tank
The crashworthiness of helicopter fuel tank is vital to the survivability of the passengers and structures. In order to understand and improve the crashworthiness of the soft fuel tank of helicopter during the crash, this paper investigated the dynamic behavior of the nylon woven fabric composite fuel tank striking on the ground. A fluid-structure interaction finite element model of the fuel ta...
متن کاملNew Techniques for Vibration Qualification of Vibrating Equipment on Aircraft
All aircraft vibrate and all components are designed, tested and certified to survive these vibration levels over their entire service life. Design standards such as MIL‐STD‐810F (1) and RTCA DO‐160E (2) are often used to obtain the vibration sign‐ off test; but what is the safety margin on these tests? How many hours do they represent on real aircraft? Can the equipment life b...
متن کاملPreliminary Analysis of Fuel Tank Impact
Following the accident involving the Air France Concorde in 2000 the effects of fluid structure interactions resulting from the impact of a fluid filled tank has become a cause for concern. The work reported here relates to the design of a series of experiments loosely based upon the Concorde incident which aimed to assess whether the probable failure mode in the Concorde accident could occur i...
