Partially filled liquid-carrying tanks have been used in many engineering applications, such as ships, vehicle fuel tanks, rockets, and drink or petroleum tankers. Liquid sloshing is an exciting phenomenon that researchers are investigating because of its complex behavior specifications. In this study, the responses a prismatic tank with approximate volume automobile under different laterally h...

The coupled interaction between a sloshing fluid in a partially-filled container suspended as a bifilar pendulum is investigated. The sloshing fluid has a free-surface upon which waves are generated this fluid contributes a restoring force to the container motion by its weight through the wire suspensions and the free-surface waves may either enhance or diminish the restoring force through hydr...

In the article by Angunawela et al. in the September 2011 issue, the authors used the finite-volume method and advanced computational fluid dynamic modeling to replicate a vitrectomized eye filled with gas tamponade. They computed the relationship between different fractions of gas fill and fluid shear stress on the retina in response to saccadic eye movements and rectilinear head movements and...
