In order to achieve stable and accurate sloshing simulations with complex geometries using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) method, a novel improved coupled dynamic solid boundary treatment (SBT) is proposed in this study. Comparing with the previous SBT algorithms, the new SBT algorithm not only can reduce numerical dissipation, but also can greatly improve the ability to prevent fluid particles penetration and to expand the application to model unidirectional deformable boundary. Besides the new SBT algorithm, a number of modified algorithms for correcting density field and position shifting are applied to the new SPH scheme for improving numerical stability and minimizing numerical dissipation in sloshing simulations. Numerical results for three sloshing cases in tanks with different geometries are investigated in this study. In the analysis of the wave elevation and the pressure on the tank, the SPH simulation with the new SBT algorithm shows a good agreement with the experiment and the simulations using the commercial code STAR-CCM+. Especially, the sloshing case in the tank with deformable bottom demonstrates the robustness of the new boundary method.
