CHARACTERISTICS AND APPLICABILITY OF A NEWLY DEVELOPED NUMERICAL SCHEME FOR SIMULATING LIQUID SLOSHING IN A MOVING TANK

摘要

A novel mathematical model for analyzing the dynamic property of the liquid motion is developed. The work in this paper assesses and further develops the mathematical model formulated especially for analyzing the liquid motion in horizontal cylindrical tanks. The present research talks about the liquid sloshing and the cyclic forces produced as a result of it. These forces which are cyclic in nature degrade the structure of a tank vehicle transporting liquid cargo. The validation of the proposed model is performed by an effective Eulerian fixed grid technique, which implements the Volume of Fluid (VOF) model. Finally this paper presents a comparison for various results obtained by implementing both the models. Such a comparison is very important, as it will validate the effectiveness of the proposed model to be considered for integrating it with structural and fatigue analysis.
