Soil-structure interaction (SSI) could affect the seismic response of structures. Since liquid storage tanks are vital structures and must continue their operation under severe earthquakes, their seismic behavior should be studied. Accordingly, the seismic response of two types of steel liquid storage tanks (namely, broad and slender, with aspect ratios of height to radius equal to 0.6 and 1.85...

Cooker’s sloshing experiment is a prototype for studying the dynamic coupling between fluid sloshing and vessel motion. It involves a container, partially filled with fluid, suspended by two cables and constrained to remain horizontal while undergoing a pendulum-like motion. In this paper the fully-nonlinear equations are taken as a starting point, including a new derivation of the coupled equa...

In agreement with a recent experimental discovery by Xi et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett., vol. 102, 2009, paper no. 044503), we also find a sloshing mode in experiments on the large-scale circulation (LSC) of turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection in a cylindrical sample of aspect ratio one. The sloshing mode has the same frequency as the torsional oscillation discovered by Funfschilling & Ahlers (Phys. ...

The numerical simulation of hydrodynamic wave loading on different types of offshore structures is important to predict forces on and water motion around these structures. This paper presents a numerical study of the effects of two-phase flow on an offshore structure subject to breaking waves. The numerical model, an improved Volume Of Fluid (iVOF) method, has been developed initially as a one-...

The distribution of hot interstellar medium in early-type galaxies bears the imprint various astrophysical processes it underwent during its evolution. X-ray observations these have identified structural features related to AGN and stellar feedback environmental effects such as merging sloshing. In our XMM-Newton Galaxy Atlas (NGA) project, we analyze archival 38 ETGs, utilizing high sensitivit...

In marine storage and transportation, the sloshing of liquid oxygen disturbs thermodynamic equilibrium induces stress on tank walls. Numerous problems are associated with mechanism demand a detailed investigation. this study, numerical model is developed by coupling Eulerian framework algebraic interface area density (AIAD) method while considering interphase drag force to investigate thermal b...

Off-axis collisions between galaxy clusters may induce the phenomenon of sloshing, causing dense gas to be dragged from cool core a cluster, resulting in spiral enhanced X-ray emission. Abell 2199 displays signatures sloshing its and it is possible that orbital plane collision seen nearly edge-on. We aim evaluate whether features can explained by under large inclination angle. To address this, ...
