elevated tanks are very important structures and consist of various types. water supply is vital to control fires during earthquakes. also they are utilized to store different products, like petroleum supplies in cities and industrial zones. damage to these structures during strong ground motions may lead to fire or other hazardous events. elevated tanks should stay functional after and before ...

elevated tanks are important structures in storing vital products, such as petroleum products for cities and industrial facilities, as well as water storage. these structures have various types and are constructed in a way that a greater portion of their weight is concentrated at an elevation much about the base. damage to these structures during strong ground motions may lead to fire or other ...

The directional response and roll stability characteristics of a partly filled tractor semi-trailer vehicle, with cylindrical tank, are investigated in various maneuvers. The dynamic interaction of liquid cargo with the tractor semi-trailer vehicle is also evaluated by integrating a dynamic slosh model of the partly filled tank with five-degrees-of-freedom of a tractor semi-trailer tank mode...

This study conducts experimental research on the liquid sloshing performance of a vane-type tank used in high orbit satellites. The tests without propellant management device (PMD) were developed under different liquid-filling ratios. Liquid with PMD performed directions and test results agree considerably theoretical results, indicating system’s reliability. A linear relationship was observed ...

This paper presents a numerical study of the free-surface evolution for inviscid, incompressible, irrotational, horizontally forced sloshing in a twodimensional rectangular vessel with an inhomogeneous bottom topography. The numerical scheme uses a time-dependent conformal mapping to map the physical fluid domain to a rectangle in the computational domain with a time-dependent aspect ratio Q(t)...
