For nonlinear analysis of sloshing of fluid in rectangular tanks, a new method using the perturbation approach is presented. The results by presented method show good agreement with results in previous study. The importance of nonlinear sloshing analysis is demonstrated by comparing nonlinear behaviors of sloshing in broad and tall tanks with different site conditions. In general, the results by nonlinear analysis are greater than those by linear analysis. Specially, the nonlinear behavior is significant in softer soil site and broad tank. Therefore, nonlinear behavior analysis has to be considered in the design of large liquid storage tanks.

사각형 유체저장탱크의 바닥에 놓여져 있는 사각형 블럭의 크기 및 위치가 자유수면의 유동진동수와 모드형상에 미치는 영향에 대하여 선형파이론을 적용하여 검토하였다. 유체의 영역을 3부분으로 나누고 각 영역에서의 속도포텐셜을 입사파와 블럭으로 인해 발생되는 반사파 및 전달파의 항으로써 표현하였다. 그리고 블럭에 의한 파의 반사율과 전달율은 유체영역의 경계에서 속도포텐셜과 유체입자의 속도가 연속인 조건을 사용하여 구하였다. 연구결과 블럭의 높이와 폭은 자유수면의 고유진동수에 크게 영향을 미치며 높이와 위치는 모드형상에 주로 영향을 준다. 블럭이 높고 폭이 넓을수록 고유 진동수는 감소하며 블럭이 높고 탱크의 벽면으로 이동할수록 모드형상은 크게 변한다.

The oscillation of the fluid caused by external motions is called sloshing, which occurs in moving vehicles with contained fluid masses, such as the oil tankers, railroad cars, aircraft and rockets. Natural frequencies of fluid are much lower than that of solid structures, and the deformation caused by the excitation that is less than 1st natural frequency of fluid is very large. For the reason of that, sloshing characteristics under the ekcitation that is less than the 1st natural frequency must be studied prior to the consideration of natural frequencies of fluid. The experimental devices are constructed to simulate the translation motion. The rectangular tanks are made to study the sloshing characteristics under external excitation. The changes of water height are measured using an analogue camcorder and MPEG board, and those are compared to each other through a standard deviation. From the results of experiments, the sloshing is greatly influenced by the length of the rectangular tank than the width of that under the periodic translational motion in the length direction. The rapid amplification of sloshing by resonance is also confirmed experimentally.
