The present study investigates the sloshing phenomena in a two-dimensional rectangular tank at a low filling level by using a level set method based on finite volume method. The code validations are performed by comparing between the present results and previous numerical and experimental results, which gives a good agreement. Various excitation frequencies and excitation amplitude of the 30% filling height tank have been considered in order to observe the dependence of the sloshing behavior on the excitation frequency and amplitude. Regardless of excitation amplitude, the maximum value of wall pressure occurs when the excitation frequency reaches the natural frequency. The time sequence of free surface and corresponding streamlines for excitation frequencies have been presented to analysis the variation of wall pressure according to time, which contributes to explain the double peaks in the time variation of wall pressure.

A variety of inner baffles are often installed to reduce liquid sloshing and prevent tank damage. In particular, a porous baffle has a distinct advantage in reducing sloshing by changing the natural periods and dissipating the wave energy in a tank. In model tests, porous baffles with five different porosities were installed vertically in a liquid tank under sway motion. The free surface elevations and pressures were measured using an image processing technique and a pressure gage for various combinations of baffle's porosity and submergence depth, and tank's amplitude and period. The experimental results were in good agreement with the analytic solutions (Cho, 2015), with the exception of a quantitative difference at resonant periods. The experimental results showed that the sloshing characteristics in a tank were closely dependent on both the porosity and submergence depth of the baffle, and the optimal porosity existed near P = 0.1275.

The performance of a porous swash bulkhead for the reduction of the resonant liquid motion in a swaying rectangular tank was investigated based on the assumption of linear potential theory. The Galerkin method (Porter and Evans, 1995) was used to solve the potential flow model by adding a viscous frictional damping term to the free-surface condition. By comparing the experimental results and the analytical solutions, we verified that the frictional damping coefficient was 0.4. Darcy's law was used to consider the energy dissipation at a porous bulkhead. The tool that was developed with a built-in frictional damping coefficient of 0.4 was confirmed by small-scale experiments. Using this tool, the free-surface elevation, hydrodynamic force (added mass, damping coefficient) on a wall, and the horizontal load on a bulkhead were assessed for various combinations of porosity and submergence depth. It was found that the vertical porous bulkhead can suppress sloshing motions significantly when properly designed and by selecting the appropriate porosity(${\approx}0.1$) and submergence depth.

The sloshing tank causes the instability of the fluid flows and the fluctuation of the impact pressure by the liquid on the tank. These flow characteristics inside the sloshing tank can generate the uncomfortable sloshing noise. In the present study, a numerical analysis for the reduction of a fuel tank sloshing noise was performed. To simulate the flow characteristics in a sloshing tank with partially filled liquid, a VOF method was used for interfacial flows by applying a momentum source term for the sloshing motion in a non-inertial reference frame. This numerical method was verified by comparing its results with the available experimental data. For the reduction of the sloshing noise, the horizontal and vertical baffles and porous media inside a sloshing tank were considered and numerically analyzed in the present study. For various installations of these baffles and porous media, the characteristics of the liquid behavior in the sloshing tank were obtained along with the impact pressure on the wall and the height of the free surface along the wall. These basic results can be used for the design of the actual vehicular fuel tank with the reduced sloshing noise.

The sloshing phenomena in a two-dimensional rectangular tank are investigated using a level set method based on finite volume method. The code validations are performed by comparing between the present results and previous numerical results, which gives a good agreement. We present the streamlines pattern, free surface shape, maximum free surface elevation and pressure fluctuation patterns in the tank under the pitch and surge motions with various frequencies. These two different motions cause the different flow structures in the tank. The time variations of surface elevation and pressure at the different locations in the tank strongly depend on the exciting frequency of tank moving.

The code developed using a pressure-based method for unified conservation laws of incompressible/compressible fluids is expanded to handle moving or deforming body boundaries using the hybrid Cartesian/immersed boundary method. An instantaneous pressure field is calculated from a pressure Poisson equation for the whole fluid domain, including the compressible gas region. The polytropic gas is assumed for the compressible fluid so that the energy equation is decoupled. Immersed boundary nodes are identified based on edges crossing body boundaries. The velocity vector is reconstructed at the immersed boundary node using an interpolation along the assigned local normal line. The developed code is validated by comparing the time histories of pressure and wave elevation for sloshing in a rectangular and a membrane-type tank. The validated code is applied to simulate air cushion effects in a rectangular tank under sway motion. Time variations of pressure fields are analyzed in detail as the air pocket pulsates. It is shown that the contraction and expansion of the air pocket dominate the pressure loads on the wall of the tank. The present results are in good agreement with other experimental and computational results for the amplitude and the decay of the pressure oscillations measured at the pressure gauges.

In this paper, an experimental study on sloshing problems in an independent B-type tank of STX Offshore and Shipbuilding Co. is described. Recently STX Offshore and Shipbuilding Co. introduced a new design of an independent B-type tank in order to reduce sloshing impact loads on LNG CCS. This tank has many internal members, so that sloshing flow and the resultant hydrodynamic loads are very different from those in typical membrane tanks. In this study, a series of sloshing experiment have been carried out for 1/50 scale model, and the main characteristics of sloshing load on the independent tank are observed. The properly scaled internal members such as swash bulkhead, center bulkhead and stringers have been installed in the test tank model, but sloshing pressures are measured on the tank walls only. The forced excitation signals have been generated by using the predicted ship motion in irregular sea states. The characteristics of sloshing loads on this tank have been observed in different filling levels with various heading angles, and sea states. In this paper, some key findings from the model tests are discussed.

액체로켓 기체공급계는 추진제를 요구되는 유량, 온도, 압력으로 엔진에 공급하여야 한다. 이를 위한 정상상태의 공급특성은 기존의 열역학 및 열전달, 유체역학 이론을 적용하여 해석하며 방법론이 잘 정립되어 있다. 발사체의 비행 중에 발생하는 탱크와 공급배관에서의 추진제의 진동은 정상상태의 공급특성을 변하게 하며 추진제공급 요구조건을 만족시키지 못하게 한다. 이러한 진동을 발생시키는 것으로서 발사체의 가속도로 인한 슬로싱 및 엔진의 추력섭동에 의해 배관 내 추진제가 진동하는 포고 불안정이 있다. 포고와 슬로싱에 의한 발사체 제어와 구조측면에서 미치는 영향에 대해서는 기존에 많은 연구가 있으나 추진제 공급특성에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 추진제의 진동이 엔진으로의 추진제 공급에 미치는 영향을 기존 자료를 이용하여 살펴보고 진동을 제어하기 위한 기구를 살펴본다.

3차원(次元) 탱크내에서의 유체(流體)의 슬로싱 현상(現象)에 관하여 경계적분법(境界積分法)의 패널 방법(方法)을 이용한 경계치(境界値) 문제해법(問題解法)으로 수치계산(數値計算)하였다. Shinkai는 경계요소(境界要素)의 소오스의 세기가 절점(節点) 사이에서 선형변화(線型變化)하도록 계산하였음에 반하여 본 연구에서는 삼각형(三角形)패널마다 일정(一定)한 세기의 소오스를 분포(分布)시켰다. 각(各) 시간(時間)단계에서의 소오스의 세기는 Green 정리(定理)에 의한 제2종(第2種) Fredbolm적분(積分) 방정식(方程式)을 풀어서 구하며, 시간(時間)이 경과함에 따른 수치 계산과 이에 따른 오차(誤差)의 누적을 피하기 위하여 Adam-Bashforth-Moulton 방법(方法)을 이용하였다. 강제조화(强制調和)동요하는 선박의 구형(球形)탱크가 부분적재(部分積載)된 경우에 대하여 수치(數値)계산한 결과, 자유표면(自由表面)의 높이 계산치(計算値)는 Shinkai의 결과와 비교한 바 비교적 적은 시간동안에는 잘 일치하고 있음을 확인하였다. 본 수치 계산방법(方法)의 정도(精度)를 검토하기 위하여 입력(入力) 및 출력(出力) 에너지가 보존(保存)되는지를 확인하여 보았는데, 시간이 경과되면서 약간의 오차가 있지만 문제의 비선형성(非線型性), 모델의 패널수가 작음을 감안할때는 인정할 만한 정확도(正確度)로 판단된다.

This paper present the results of finite element analysis to examine the sloshing characteristics of the cylindrical and rectangular tank partially fluid-filled. The sloshing characteristic for the existence and the non-existence of the baffle are investigated and the results compared with the references. For the rectangular tank, the vertical displacements are used to study of the sloshing characteristics. But for the cylindrical tank, the damping factors obtained from the vertical displacements of free surface with the depth of ring baffle are usedto study of the sloshing characteristics. The adaptive meshing method in the ABAQUS 5.8/Explicit is used for the sloshing analysis.
