Abstract:Local pressure measurements during liquid impacts in LNG tanks show a large variability, due to the free-surface roughness and the liquid fragmentation resulting from free-surface instabilities initiated by the gas escaping redfrom the closing gas pocket. It also makes the experimental discrimination of the effect of any multiphase parameter (density ratio, compressibility, phase transition) on impact loads more complex. The main challenges are (i) to capture both experimentally and numerically the development… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
