Sloshing induced damping across Froude numbers in a harmonically vertically excited system

An investigation was performed to measure sloshing motion and damping during harmonic forced vertical of a rectangular tank containing fluid, with particular focus on the amplitude dependent transition between lateral turbulent, slamming. Qualitative quantitative explanations are provided for saturation point dissipation effects, together metrics distinguish different regimes, ballistic-harmonic analytical model is presented capable reproducing physical trends. Image processing tools were used analyse experimental high-speed video footage, illustrating potential routes increased in vertically oscillating structures, correlating well measured fluid forces flow regimes.
