Coupling between Flexible Ship and Liquid Sloshing Using Potential Flow Analysis and Its Effect on Wave-induced Loads

چکیده
In this paper the potential flow approach adopted in previous investigations for the coupling effect between rigid body ship motion and sloshing is extended to the flexible ship-partially filled tank system, using the de-singularised Rankine source method. The unified method is verified by applying it to the sloshing in a partially filled rectangular tank with a flexible wall. The main aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of hull flexibility on the hydrodynamic forces and moments associated with liquid sloshing and the effect of sloshing on wave-induced responses. The coupling effect between flexible ship and sloshing is illustrated for an idealized LNG carrier in beam regular waves, considering different partial filling scenarios. Symmetric and antisymmetric responses, such as bending and torsional moments, in beam regular waves are investigated with and without coupling effect from liquid sloshing. From the limited numerical comparisons, it is found that liquid sloshing has an influence on the response of distortional as well as rigid modes, i.e. wave-induced motions and loads.

The Effects of Tank Sloshing on Lng Vessel and Floating Terminal Responses
In the conventional ship-motion analysis, the effects of inner free surface have been usually ignored. Recent experimental and numerical studies have shown that the coupling effect between liquid cargo sloshing and LNG(Liquefied Natural Gas) ship motion can be significant at certain frequency range of partially filled tanks. This is of great concern to the LNG FPSO/FSRU operation in the product...

Sloshing problems in partially filled large LNG carriers are of increasing concern because sloshing loads may endanger LNG carriers in operations. Currently, most investigations on sloshing problems mainly focus on the analysis of liquids in rigid tanks which omitted fluid-structure interactions. Based on a mixed displacement–pressure finite element method developed, the authors recently invest...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation of Vertical and Horizontal Baffle Effects on Liquid Sloshing in a Rectangular Tank Using an Improved Incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Method
Liquid sloshing is a common phenomenon in the transporting of liquid tanks. Liquid waves lead to fluctuating forces on the tank wall. If these fluctuations are not predicted or controlled, they can lead to large forces and momentum. Baffles can control liquid sloshing fluctuations. One numerical method, widely used to model the liquid sloshing phenomena is Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH)....

Tuned Liquid Dampers (TLD) are among passive control devices that have been used to suppress the vibration of structures in recent years. These structures must be adequately presentable as an equivalent single degree of freedom system with long fundamental period. The TLD, located at the top floors of the structure, can dissipate the external input energy into the system through the sloshing ef...
