Sloshing cold fronts (CFs) arise from minor merger triggered gas sloshing. Their detailed structure depends on the properties of the intra-cluster medium (ICM): hydrodynamical simulations predict the CFs to be distorted by Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities (KHIs), but aligned magnetic fields, viscosity, or thermal conduction can suppress the KHIs. Thus, observing the detailed structure of sloshing...

Self-induced rotary sloshing caused by an upward off-centered jet in a cylindrical container is numerically and experimentally investigated. Unlike the regular jet-induced rotary sloshing, the present off-centered case could contain components of higher fluctuation in the surface wave and the amplitude exhibits different values in various view angles. A simple geometrical model for the amplitud...

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...

Many studies have been reported for the sloshing analysis in liquid containers. One of the major concerns in the marine hydrodynamic field is the accurate prediction of impulsive load on internal structures. During violent sloshing, the sloshing-induced impact load can cause a critical damage on tank structure. Such damage cases have been reported for oil tankers, LNG carriers and bulk carriers...

This paper is concerned with advanced control of self-transfer-type automatic pouring robot, with focus on the pouring control to cylindrical ladle and sloshing suppression (liquid vibration) control to the liquid in a ladle. In the pouring control, the flow rate model of cylindrical ladle is represented by LPV(Linear Parameter Varying) model, and FeedForward(FF) controller is then designed by ...

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...

In agreement with a recent experimental discovery by Xi et al. (2009), we also find a sloshing mode in experiments on the large-scale circulation (LSC) of turbulent RayleighBénard convection in a cylindrical sample of aspect ratio one. The sloshing mode has the same frequency as the torsional oscillation discovered by Funfschilling and Ahlers (2004). We show that both modes can be described by ...
