this paper assesses the design guidelines of different classification codes for the liquefied natural gas carriers considering the effect of liquid sloshing. with regard the increasing importance of lng carriers in today’s marine transportation, and also considering that the marine accidents involve significant loss, classification societies by regulating national and international standards ai...

The two-dimensional sloshing problem is considered in a half-plane covered by a rigid dock with two symmetric gaps. It is proved that the antisymmetric (symmetric) sloshing eigenvalues are monotonically decreasing (increasing) functions of spacing between gaps and formulae for their derivatives are obtained. sloshing problem / eigenvalue / eigenfunction / integral operator / asymptotic formula ...

Sloshing refers to the free surface motion of a fluid in a container. We study the linearized sloshing problem of an incompressible, inviscid, irrotational fluid in a container, where we focus on the regime where the effect of surface tension dominates the effect of gravity. This is especially important in the microgravity environment, where scientists and engineers have worked to improve our u...

Speedmeters are known to be quantum non-demolition devices and, by potentially providing sensitivity beyond the standard quantum limit, become interesting for third generation gravitational wave detectors. Here we introduce a new configuration, the sloshing-Sagnac interferometer, and compare it to the more established ring-Sagnac interferometer. The sloshing-Sagnac interferometer is designed to...

A numerical scheme of study is developed to model compressible two-fluid flows simulating liquid sloshing in a partially filled tank. For a two-fluid system separated by an interface as in the case of sloshing, not only a Mach-uniform scheme is required but also an effective way to eliminate unphysical numerical oscillations near the interface. By introducing a preconditioner, the governing equ...
