This paper introduces the experimental results of sloshing model tests carried out at Seoul National University. Two 1/50-scale tanks, i.e., 2D and 3D models with the same shape, were manufactured for the comparative study. Particular interest was taken in the differences in impact pressures between the 2D and 3D models. Regular motion tests were conducted for different filling depths. For each...

The existence of a moonpool may affect motion characteristics and stability drillship. This paper presents numerical experimental study on the influence configuration performance drillship under condition constant displacement. Ship hydrostatics three-dimensional (3D) potential flow theory are employed to calculate static curves (GZ curves) response amplitude operators (RAOs) with conjoined dou...

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 slo...

Sloshing is a well-known phenomenon in liquid storage tanks subjected to base or body motions. In recent years the use of multiple vertical baffles for reducing the sloshing effects in tanks subjected to earthquake has not been taken into consideration so much. On the other hand, although some of the existing computer programs are capable to model sloshing phenomenon with acceptable accuracy, t...

A mathematical model is developed for calculating liquid sloshing effects such as hydrodynamic pressures and forces in half-full spherical containers under arbitrary external excitation. The velocity potential is expressed in a series form, where each term is the product of a time function and the associated spatial function. Because of the spherical configuration, the problem is not separable ...

Serviceability of buildings is affected by excessive acceleration experienced at the top floors in wind storms that may cause discomfort to the occupants. To ensure functional performance of tall buildings it is important to keep the frequency of objectionable motion levels below the discomfort threshold. This paper addresses a new approach that facilitates mitigation of wind induced motion of ...

One of the main vibration problems of aerospace vehicles with liquid fuel propulsion system is fuel sloshing. This phenomenon is a low frequency vibrational challenge which can affect the motion of the vehicle and degrade the stability of the main control system. In this regards, the motion of the liquid will be very critical when the frequency of the sloshing is very close to the frequencies o...

In the present paper we develop an approach to obtain sharp spectral asymptotics for Steklov type problems on planar domains with corners. Our main focus is two-dimensional sloshing problem, which a mixed Steklov—Neumann boundary value problem describing small vertical oscillations of ideal fluid in container or canal uniform cross-section. We prove two-term asymptotic formula eigenvalues. part...
