“…Sloshing has been described by the researchers as different: as a dynamic load acting on the tanker structure due to the movement of a fluid with a limited free surface inside the tank [1], or a strong movement of fluid from a moving tank [9]. The movement during braking of the liquid load is determined by the change in the position of the centre of gravity of the load inside the vehicle.…”

Longitudinal and lateral liquid sloshing in a partially filled tanker affect the braking performance of the tankers. The movement during braking of the liquid load is determined by the change in the position of the centre of gravity of the load inside the vehicle. Becoming an undesirable phenomenon when analyzing the performance of the vehicle braking manoeuver. In this paper modelling of the behaviour of the cross-section circular tank with baffles, partially filled with liquid agro-food products, was performed, which performs a braking manoeuver. Two different fluids have been used to simulate the sloshing effect of agro-food liquid cargo and study the behaviour of the tank. In to order generate the geometric model of the tank was done by using SolidWorks, and simulating the behaviour of the tank and cargo with agro-food products during the ANSYS-CFX braking manoeuver. A sequence of numerical experiments has been carried out to estimate the pressure developed over the tanker wall and the free surface displacement of the fluids for different fill levels. Simulations with the two liquids and the results obtained were compared to be able to analyze the behaviour of the tank partially filled into a braking manoeuver.

“…There are several papers showing numerical simulations on sloshing when using baffles [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Thundil Karuppa Raj et al [2] simulated a fuel tank of a car, reporting that the height and location of one baffle are important parameters to decrease sloshing.…”

“…There are also papers related to ellipsoidal cross section tanks, similar to that studied in the present work. Brar and Singh [5] simulated the behavior of a fluid in a 1 : 3 scale tank with a 2D approximation and show curves of pressure on the walls of the tank when baffles are placed in vertical and horizontal positions inside of the tank, while Domagala et al [6,7] simulated the fluid-structure interaction for a two plates-shaped baffles' array dividing a road tanker in three compartments, showing contours of pressure on the tanker wall and on the baffles [6], as well as curves of total force on the tanker structure [7].…”

This work presents a comparative numerical study of the effect of using baffles, and its design, on the behavior of sloshing in a partially filled road tanker carrying LPG. Navier-Stokes equations and standardk-εturbulence model are used to simulate fluid movement; the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method is used to track the liquid-gas interface. Velocity distributions, sloshing stabilization times, and contours of turbulent kinetic energy, which are of high importance in choosing the best design of baffles, are shown. The results show sloshing stabilization times of 22 and 21 s for road tankers with cross-shaped (Type I) and X-shaped (Type II) baffles, respectively, finding lower values of turbulent kinetic energy for Type II design, being, therefore, the best design of baffles for damping of sloshing and vehicle control among studied ones.
