“…In order to consider the efficiency and the comprehensiveness of the problem at the same time, four typical excitation frequencies are chosen to do the present calculation. They are 2.55 rad/s , 4.34 rad/s , 4.87 rad/s and 6.40 rad/s respectively. In each case, the simulation time runs up to ten periods.…”

“…In order to investigate the sloshing phenomena extensively, four excitation frequencies are selected, one is far lower than the first natural frequency, two are a little smaller than the first natural frequency and the fourth is higher than the first natural frequency. They are 1 0.95 rad/s   , 2 3.09 rad/s   , 3 3.81 rad/s   and 4 5.47 rad/s   , respectively. In the model, the quad grid is adopted for the computation.…”

“…The impact pressures and global moment induced by water motion in a partially filled rectangular tank were predicted and compared with experimental measurements. Wu et al [4] investigated the hydrodynamic forces induced by transient sloshing in a 3-D rectangular tank by a time independent finite difference method. The evolutions of sloshing-induced forces of different types of sloshing waves were obtained, and the computational results were in good agreement with experimental measurements.…”

Abstract. Liquid sloshing in tanks has many important applications in a variety of engineering fields. In this study, based on a CFD solver, a numerical model is developed to study the liquid water sloshing in two-and three-dimensional tanks. The VOF method is used to capture the fluid interface. In order to validate the proposed model, a 2-D liquid-water sloshing problem was first solved. The variations of the pressure at the monitor point 100 mm below the initial free surface were recorded. Then the method was applied to a 3-D liquid-water sloshing problem and the sloshing-induced moment was obtained. The numerical results were compared and analyzed with experimental measurements. The results confirm that the present method can be adopted to predict the motion of liquid water and analyze its induced moment on the tank boundary when it has a roll motion.
