A Study on Complicated Coupling Effects of 3-D Sloshing in Rectangular Tanks and Ship Motion

摘要

Sloshing is a potential source of disturbance in liquid storagerncontainers. Sloshing flow in ship cargo is excited by ship motion, butrnthe sloshing flow itself affects the ship motion in return. This paperrninvestigates the coupling effects of ship motion with fluid oscillationrninside three dimensional rectangular containers using a newlyrndeveloped time domain simulation scheme. The method has beenrnapplied to a number of problems and some typical results are presentedrnthat assess the accuracy and applicability of the method.
