Comparative Analysis of Forms of Lateral Baffles for Road Tanks

Abstract

The purpose of the investigation is to analyze the influence of the configuration of lateral baffle installed in the reservoir of road tank on the characteristics of liquid cargo sloshing in the tank at its emergency braking. There were performed computations for the analysis of the hydrodynamic pressures and liquid energy dissipation for different kinds of liquid cargo transported in the road tanks with perforated and solid baffles. Also different filling levels of the reservoir were considered. The configuration of the internal lateral baffle providing maximal efficiency of liquid oscillations damping and minimal loading of the road tank shell was suggested.

Numerical Investigation of Vibration Suppression for the Combined Device of Non-Newtonian Fluids Coupled Elastic Baffle

“…In this regard, the characteristics of Newtonian, Ostwald de Waele, and Bingham models of sloshing liquid in the tank with/without internal perforated baffles were analyzed and the relationship between the hydrodynamic pressure and the energy dissipation rate of studied fluids with different filling levels was extracted. Kuzniatsova and Shimanovsky (2015) studied the effect of lateral baffles on the hydrodynamic pressure and energy dissipation rate for different types of liquids in road tanks.…”
