Sloshing due to ground motion develops large pressure on the walls of water retaining tanks. This paper evaluates the efficacy of padded walls on the reduction of sloshing effects in rectangular water storage tanks subjected to ground motion. An analytical solution based on velocity potential function is provided to obtain the response of  rigid and padded wall tanks in terms of the wave elevat...

The thrust vector control problem for an upper-stage rocket with propellant slosh dynamics is considered. The control inputs are defined by the gimbal deflection angle of a main engine and a pitchingmoment about the center of mass of the spacecraft. The rocket acceleration due to themain engine thrust is assumed to be large enough so that surface tension forces do not significantly affect the p...

The double-row and double-chamfered aquaculture tank is a special structure of the ship. sloshing this coupled with hull motion, which has an important impact on safety motion. In present study, research motion response ships was conducted based model seakeeping tests in regular waves. test results were compared numerical simulation solid loading without sloshing. showed that pitch consistent a...

:האצרהה ריצקת להל Liquid-filled tanks are widely used in various branches of engineering, including nuclear, process and aerospace industries, for storage of chemicals, gasoline, water, and different hazardous liquids. Dynamic stresses in such tanks develop due to various external effects that might lead to strongly nonlinear or even impact-like sloshing regimes, such as high-amplitude oscilla...

We propose a control design scheme that aims to prevent undesirable liquid outpouring and suppress sloshing during the forward and backward tilting phases of the pouring process, for the case of liquid containers carried by manipulators. The proposed scheme combines a partial inverse dynamics controller with a PID controller, tuned with the use of a “metaheuristic” search algorithm. The “metahe...

The disturbance on the free surface of the liquid when the liquid-filled tanks are excited is called sloshing. This paper examines the nonlinear sloshing response of the liquid free surface in partially filled two-dimensional rectangular tanks using finite element method. The liquid is assumed to be inviscid, irrotational, and incompressible; fully nonlinear potential wave theory is considered ...

Analytical solution of dispersion in rapidly oscillating flows becomes infeasible in complex geometries. Simulation over long durations can be prohibitively expensive when there is a wide separation between the oscillation and dispersion time scales. Here, we present a methodology based on an implicit envelope-tracking scheme coupled with telescopic projections. A test problem, with a known ana...

A new moving staggered mesh discretization for the numerical simulation of incompressible flow problems involving free-surfaces is presented. The method uses the staggered mesh to obtain speed and conservation properties. Mesh motion provides a high quality mesh in the interior and detailed resolution of the free-surface motion on the surface. Mesh flipping allows for optimal mesh connectivity ...
