유체저장탱크가 외부로부터 지진과 같은 동적하중을 받게 될 경우 유체와 구조물의 상호작용(Fluid-Structure Interaction)으로 인하여 일반적인 구조물과는 상이한 거동을 보이게 된다. 이러한 복잡한 상호작용을 고려하여 현재 내진 설계에서는 Housner와 Haroun의 이론을 적용한 단순화 모델들이 사용되고 있다. 이들 모델은 유체의 거동을 대류(convective) 성분과 충격(impulsive) 성분으로 구분하여 집중질량으로 단순화 한다. 하지만 점차 대형화되고 있는 유체저장탱크의 정확한 동적 거동 특성을 파악하고, 지진하중과 같은 방향성을 가진 하중에 대한 구조물의 정확한 응답을 해석하려면 단순화 모델의 적용성 검토가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 지진하중을 받는 유체저장탱크의 동적거동을 집중질량 모델과 3차원 모델을 이용하여 해석하였다. 나아가 해석결과의 차이를 분석하여 단순화 모델의 정확도 향상을 위한 내진설계변수 산출에 관하여 향후 연구방향을 제시하였다.

The flow patterns in a stirred tank, 1m in diameter and 1 m in height, were studied using CFX, a commercial computational fluid dynamics program, with the impeller rotation speed, the impeller blade angle and the tank-bottom shape varied and the baffles included or excluded. A vortex was observed in the center of the tank in the absence of the baffles, and the intensity of the vortex increased with increasing the rotation speed. The vortex was considerably reduced in the presence of the baffles. An increase in the blade angle increased the vertical flow and decreased the vortex intensity. The flow in the corners of the tank bottom turned smoother as the tank bottom was varied in shape from flat to round.

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.

The liquid sloshing in an elastic tank is a fluid-structure interaction problem. It requires nonlinear analysis to solve the complicated physics involved in the large interaction of fluid-structure, the variation of dynamic characteristics of structure due to hydrodynamic loading, and the distorsion of fluid flow due to structural vibration. In this paper a Lagrangian FEM is introduced to analyze the liquid sloshing in an elastic tank assuming that the elastic wall is one degree of freedom rigid wall. Numerical integration is performed using an implicit-explicit algorithm, which is formed by mixing the predictor-corrector method and the Runge-Kutta 4th order method. The influence of dynamic characteristics of the sloshing tank on the fluid flow is discussed. The numerical method is also applied for the simulation of the wall generated wave in the tank.

The present paper describes an approximation for estimation of earthquake-induced hydrodynamic loads in rigid storage tank which accelerated in horizontal direction. The storage tank is vertically cylindrical, and the sectional shape may be circular, rectangular or irregular. The solution for harmonic excitation is studied based on velocity potential theory, and then the time domain solution for earthquake is obtained by using design response spectrum. As a result, earthquake load is influenced primarily by the inertia force of high frequency effective mass of the storage tank, responding to the characteristics of design response spectrum, tank sectional shape, and the ratio of tank base length to depth. Earthquake-induced hydrodynamic loads in rigid storage tank can be effectively obtained by using the high frequency approximation method in case of quite large, or small ratio of the tank base length to water depth.

Stirred tank is widely used in various industries for mixing operations and chemical reactions for single- or multi-phase fluid systems. For designing agitator of high performance, quantity data of internal flow characteristics influenced by mixing performance are definitely confirmed but quantity analysis about the transient flow characteristics of complicate structure is recognized as difficult problem in the present. In this study, two models of commercial CFD code Fluent 6.3 used to propose suitable for the tank analysis. Agitation of Stirred tank is analyzed using a mixed model and the flow in the stirred tank is analyzed using a standard k-${\varepsilon}$ model. Multiple reference frame(MRF) and Sliding mesh(SM), the analysis techniques were used For compare a result of CFD with a visualization experiment result, to grasp internal flow and mixing characteristic in stirred tank and to present fundamental analysis method.

This paper presents an analytical method for evaluating the free vibration of a circular cylindrical tank filled with bounded compressible fluid. The analytical method was developed by means of the finite Fourier series expansion method. The compressible fluid motion was determined by means of the linear velocity potential theory. To clarify the validity of the analytical method, the natural frequencies of a circular cylindrical tank with the clamped-clamped boundary condition, and filled with water, were obtained by the analytical method and the finite element method using a comercial ANSYS 5.2 software. Excellent agreement on the natural frequencies of the liquid-filled tank structure was found. The compressiblity and the fluid density effects on the normalized coupled natural frequencies were investigated. The density of fluid affects on all coupled natural frequencies of the tank, whereas the compressibility of fluid affects mainly on the natural frequencies of lower circumferential modes.

The dynamic load caused by sloshing of internal fluid severely affects the structural and control stabilities of cylindrical liquid containers accelerating vertically. If the sloshing frequency of fluid is near the frequency of control system or the tank structure, large dynamic force and moment act on launching vehicles. For the suppression of such dynamic effects, generally flexible ring-type baffles are employed. In this paper, we perform the numerical analysis to evaluate the dynamic suppression effects of baffle. The parametric analysis is performed with respect to the baffle inner-hole diameter and two different baffle spacing types : equal spacing with respect to the tank and one with respect to the fluid height. The ALE (arbitrary Lagrangin-Eulerian) numerical method is adopted for the accurate and effective simulation of the hydrodynamic interaction between fluid and elastic structure.
