the main objective of this article is evaluation of the simplified models which have been developed for analysis and design of liquid storage tanks. the empirical formulas of these models for predicting maximum sloshing wave height (mswh) are obtained from mass spring models (msm). a finite element modeling (fem) tool is used for investigating the behavior the some selected liquid storage tanks...

In this paper, results are presented on asymmetric sloshing in partially filled circular cylinders subjected to horizontal, periodic forcing, as well as geyser formation and the subsequent axi-symmetric sloshing that is caused by a sudden change in Bond number. Asymmetric sloshing is controlled by three parameters that are the liquid depth parameter, the frequency offset (depending on forcing f...

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...

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...

In this paper the potential flow approach adopted in previous investigations for the coupling effect between rigid body ship motion and sloshing is extended to the flexible ship-partially filled tank system, using the de-singularised Rankine source method. The unified method is verified by applying it to the sloshing in a partially filled rectangular tank with a flexible wall. The main aim of t...

This paper presents results obtained by numerical study of sloshing effects in medium sized rectangular tanks subjected to a long-period seismic excitation. The Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method is used, and the wave displacement and pressure are analysed. The intensity of sloshing effects depends not only on the peak ground acceleration but also on the dominant frequency of ground m...

Three-dimensional tank in smooth tank is of concern in various engineering applications. Sloshing waves in moving tanks have been studied numerically, theoretically and experimentally in past several decades and many significant phenomena have been considered in those studies, especially the linear and nonlinear effects of sloshing wave with inviscid or viscid liquid in a tank. The reported stu...
