Evaluation of Sloshing Load Acting on Fixed Roof of Liquid Storage Tank Based on Sph Simulation
نویسنده
چکیده
It is difficult to evaluate the sloshing load acting on a fixed roof of tank because it depends on the collision of the liquid to the roof. In this paper, the SPH simulation was introduced to evaluate the load acting on a fixed roof. The results obtained by the simulation showed good agreement with those obtained from other method. In addition, the effect of the roof-liquid clearance on the sloshing load acting on the roof was investigated by using the SPH simulation. The load acting on the roof increases with the tank width even though the clearance between the roof and liquid is constant .

Numerical 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)....

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...

Sloshing due to ground motion develops large pressure on the walls of water retaining tanks. This paper evaluates the efficacy of padded walls on the reduction of sloshing effects in rectangular water storage tanks subjected to ground motion. An analytical solution based on velocity potential function is provided to obtain the response of rigid and padded wall tanks in terms of the wave elevat...

In this paper, the sloshing response of liquid in a two dimensional rigid rectangular tank with rigid baffles is investigated using boundary element technique. A baffle is a supplementary structural element which supplies a kind of passive control on the effects of ground shaking. The complicated liquid domain is divided into two simple sub-domains so that the liquid velocity potential in each ...
