The elevated reinforced concrete tanks assessed in the current work were subject of a nonlinear sloshing analysis resulting from fluid–container interactions. primary response quantity interest was height free surface sloshing. To achieve this aim, effect liquid contents on seismic behavior subjected to various sets far- and near-fault ground motions measured. variables considered study include...

This paper presents a numerical study of the free-surface evolution for inviscid, incompressible, irrotational, horizontally forced sloshing in a twodimensional rectangular vessel with an inhomogeneous bottom topography. The numerical scheme uses a time-dependent conformal mapping to map the physical fluid domain to a rectangle in the computational domain with a time-dependent aspect ratio Q(t)...

The severe sloshing induced by earthquake in cylindrical liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage tank is of great concern for liquid design. For suppressing sloshing, porous material attached to inner periphery the wall proposed and studied numerically using OpenFOAM. model was validated against with available data without ring baffle, flow through media a U-tube dam break. Fair agreements betwee...

free surface sloshing of liquid in a rectangular tank induced by lateral excitation has been studied numericallyand experimentally in this paper. the numerical simulation is carried out based on the volume of fluid (vof) method that provides free surface extraction in such problem. a tank with transparent walls is used to free surface tracking in experimental study while the movement amplitude ...

A quantitative comparison of the usual and recent numerical treatments which are applied to the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method are presented together with a new free-surface treatment. A series of numerical treatments are studied to refine the numerical procedures of the SPH method particularly for violent flows with a free surface. Two dimensional dam-break and sway-sloshing prob...

The sloshing phenomenon is an important field of fluid dynamics in liquid storage tanks under earthquake excitation. When the frequency gets close to tank’s natural frequency, resulting resonance could lead instability and even damage structures, followed by catastrophic economic losses environmental damages. As passive control devices, baffles are a place for energy dissipation. This study use...

Abstract Inspired by the phenomenon of stone-skipping in life, problem continuous water-skipping trans-media vehicles is widely concerned, which characterized multiphase flow-solid coupling, dynamic boundary, liquid surface fragmentation and high impact loads. Based on Moving Particle Semi-implicit numerical method, this paper investigates disc’s motion characteristics variation, focusing influ...

Liquid sloshing is a common phenomenon in ocean engineering, and one which not only affects the stability of ship navigation, but also poses threat to both marine environment human life. Ascertaining how best reduce amplitude liquid has always been key problem engineering. In this study, based on an improved moving-particle semi-implicit method, BM-MPS damping effect vertical slotted screen und...
