Recently the LNG(liquified natural gas) public buses have been introduced to prevent the air pollution in metropolitan areas. As the LNG temperature in fuel tank is as low as $-162^{\circ}C$. the thermal and structural effects of tank components need to be studied for safe introduction in the market. Especially the support system of LNG fuel tank in vehicle, which has connected with inside and outside of tanks, should put attention to reduce the structural stress due to cryogenic temperature and to restrict the heat flux from ambient. There are two supporting systems in the tank, that one is connected between inside and outside tanks by welding, and the other is the inserted support system which is a cylindrical SUS bar inserted in a hole of the supporting plate. In this study the temperature distribution and thermal stress of the inserted support system were evaluated by using the utility program as ANSYS. The results showed that the rate of heat transfer to inner tank through this support system was quite small due to limited contact of support bar with plate. but the thermal stress of support plate was obtained beyond the limited tensile value of SUS304. The cautious design for the support plate part, therefore, should be given to make the safe support system of LNG vehicle fuel tank.

[ $100,000m^3$ ] 규모의 원통형 탱크에 저장되어 있는 초저온의 액화천연가스는 외부조건 및 운전모드에 따라 복잡한 유동양상과 열물성 변화를 보인다. 이런 현상은 LNG의 저장 및 운전조건과 탱크의 설계사양 및 열전달 특성에 크게 영향을 받으며, 또한 저장탱크내 LNG의 안정적 저장 및 공급에 영향을 미치게 된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 LNG 저장탱크의 외부조건에 따른 2차원 열전달 해석, 시운전시 초기 상온상태의 LNG 저장탱크를 냉각하기 위한 Cool Down 프로세스, 그리고 탱크내 LNG의 유입 및 상승을 고려한 주입프로 세스의 해석을 수행하였다. 또한, 혼합 LNG 저장에 대한 해석도 수행하였다. 이런 LNG저장탱크내의 전반적인 열유동에 대한 해석을 토대로 가시화된 종합적인 열유동 해석프로그램을 개발하였다. 본 프로그램의 개발은 탱크내 저장된 LNG의 열적 안정성 해석의 기술력 확보뿐만 아니라 실탱크의 기본설계에 이용할 수 있게 되었다.

This paper presents a method of seismic analysis for a cylindrical liquid storage structure on/in horizontally layered half.space considering the effects of the interior fluid and exterior soil medium in the frequency domain. To capture the essence of fluid-structure-soil interaction effects effectively, a mixed finite element with two-field (u, p) approximation is employed to model the compressive inviscid fluid, while the structure and soil medium are presented by the 3-D axisymmetric finite elements and dynamic infinite elements. The present FE-based method can be applied to the system with complex geometry of fluid region as well as with inhomogeneous near-field soil medium, since it can directly model both the fluid and the soil. For the purpose of verification, dominant peak frequencies in transfer functions for horizontal motions of cylindrical fluid storage tanks with rigid massless foundation on a homogeneous viscoelastic half.space are compared with those by two different added mass approaches for the fluid motion. The comparison indicates that the Present FE-based methodology gives accurate solution for the fluid-structure-soil interaction problem. Finally, as a demonstration of versatility of the present study, a seismic analysis for a real-scale LNG storage tank embedded in layered half.space is carried out, and its member forces along the height of the structure are compared with those by an added mass approach developed by the present writers.

구형 LNG 탱크의 제작을 위해서는 탱크의 곡률 반경에 따라 별도의 공장 설비가 필요하며 제작 공간 및 시설 투자의 한계로 인해 조선소에서 다양한 크기의 완전 구형 LNG 탱크를 제작하는 것은 현실적으로 매우 어려운 일이다. 이러한 한계를 극복하고 다양한 용량의 LNG 탱크 제작을 위해서는 기존 구형 탱크의 중앙부에 원통 형태의 확장부를 삽입하여 적재 용량을 키우는 방법이 효과적이다. 본 연구에서는 원통 확장부를 갖는 구형 탱크의 정적 설계하중 산출식을 개발하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음 단계에서 개발 예정인 동적 설계하중 산출식과 결합하여 최종적으로 원통 확장부를 갖는 구형 탱크의 간이 해석법을 개발하는데 이용된다. 간이 해석법이 개발되면 많은 시간과 노력이 소요되는 유한요소 해석을 대신하여 초기 견적 시에 정도 높은 물량 계산이 가능하게 된다.

곡률을 갖고 있는 쉘 부재들은 선박 및 육상구조 내에서 캠버와 선수, 선미, 파이프 및 저장용 탱크에 주로 사용되고 있다. 이러한 곡률 쉘 부재들은 기본적으로 원통형 실린더 부재의 일부라고 간주할 수 있다. 일반적으로 곡률의 존재는 압축하중 작용 시 좌굴강도 및 최종강도를 증가시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 영향을 확인하기 위하여 탄성대변형 시리즈해석을 수행하였으며, 매개변수의 영향을 분석하였다. 실린더의 최종강도 거동은 초기처짐과 해석모델링 방법에 큰 영향을 받는 것을 확인하였다.

Recommended seismic design guide for the flat bottom vortical-cylindrical oil storage tanks in KS B 6225 is presented. Under earthquake excitations, the hydrodynamic pressure exerted on the tank walls produces overturning moment which may cause either a failure of the anchors or a buckling of the tank shell near its base. The basis for establishing design loads due to hydrodynamic pressure is described including seismic zone risk map in Korea, zone coefficients and the essential facilities factor. This procedure for calculating applied compressive stress on the shell base subjecting to seismic load and for estimating the allowable buckling stress is described.

Vortexing might occur during draining from tanks which reduces the rate of outflow. This phenomenon has practical relevance in the fuel feed system in space vehicles and rockets. Due to environmental disturbances rotational motion can be generated in the liquid-propellant tank, which in turn can affect the rate of outflow to the engines. The phenomenon is initialized by rotating the fluid In the experimental tank. The dip quickly develops into a vortex with an air core, which extends to the bottom port, reducing the effective cross-sectional area of the drain outlet and consequently the flow rate. Flow characteristics are investigated using SPIV(Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry) method.

Liquid storage rectangular tank structures are used in many fields of airplane and marine engineering. Fatigue damages are sometimes observed in these tanks which seem to be caused by resonance. Therefore it is essentially important to estimate vibration characteristics of tank structures. Many Investigators studied the vibration of cylindrical and rectangular tank structures containing still fluid. In general, the eigenbehavior of interior liquid is characterized by the sloshing mode while that of the structure by the bulging mode. However, the structure deformation to the sloshing mode and the liquid free-surface fluctuation to the bulging mode have been neglected in the classical added-mass computation. in the present paper, we study the vibration characteristics with sloshing mode effect.
