چکیده مقاله:

Cylindrical steel tanks are important components of many industrial plants such as oil refineries and chemical plants. Usually failure of cylindrical tanks leads to serious consequences. During the past earthquakes such as 1964 Alaska and 1999 Turkey seismic performance of cylindrical tanks revealed that tanks are seismically vulnerable. Therefore, evaluation of seismic performance of these structures is an important task in seismic prone areas. During an earthquake, a sloshing motion may occur in upper parts of the liquid. In storage tanks during earthquake if fluid wave height in tank increases, the fluid wave may damage the roof or some parts of roof holders. The tanks should resist against unfavourable impacts such as earthquakes. In this paper, 5 tanks with different H/D ratios in an oil refinery complex in Iran were studied using static and dynamical analysis (linear and non-linear). Spectrum and time history linear and non-linear analysis was completed in order to find the fluid wave height and also ratio of wave height to the tank diameter.

Fluid damping of cylindrical liquid storage tanks

A method is proposed in order to calculate the damping effects of viscous fluids in liquid storage tanks subjected to earthquakes. The potential equation of an ideal fluid can satisfy only the boundary conditions normal to the surface of the liquid. To satisfy also the tangential interaction conditions between liquid and tank wall and tank bottom, the potential flow is superimposed by a one-dim...

Numerical Simulation of Liquid Sloshing in LNG Tanks Using a Compressible Two-Fluid Flow Model

In this investigation the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations are modified to account for variable density and viscosity of the two-fluids flow (i.e. water-air), assuming both fluids compressible. By introducing a preconditioner, the governing equations in terms of primitive variables are solved for both fluids in a unified manner. The non-conservative implicit Split Coefficient Ma...

Improving seismic performance of elevated cylindrical water storage tanks using nonlinear isolators incorporating liquid–structure interaction

Pervasive construction of elevated liquid tanks as the most important sources for urban hygienic water, and their failure under earthquake, highlighs the necessity for research toward new passive control devices. Design and use of base-isolation systems for elevated liquid tanks is propounded as a novel seismic engineering technology. To date, no special examination has been discussed in relati...

Study on the dynamic behavior of cylindrical steel liquid storage tanks using finite element method

Dynamic behavior of ground supported cylindrical storage tanks (CST) is of crucial importance because of its applications in industrial complexes. Seismic behavior of tanks is greatly affected by the height to diameter ratio, fluid height and fluid type. Five CSTs with different height to diameter ratios, three CSTs with the same height and diameters but various fluid heights and one CST with t...
