Aeration experiments were conducted in two rectangular surface aeration tanks of L/B ratios 1.5 and 2 along with a square tank (L/B=1) to study their relative performance due to shape on oxygen transfer process while re-aerating the same volume of water such that the cross-sectional area of all the three tanks is the same. An identical rotor with six flat blades was used in all the three tanks....

free surface sloshing of liquid in a rectangular tank induced by lateral excitation has been studied numericallyand experimentally in this paper. the numerical simulation is carried out based on the volume of fluid (vof) method that provides free surface extraction in such problem. a tank with transparent walls is used to free surface tracking in experimental study while the movement amplitude ...

We consider a tank containing a fluid. The tank is subjected to directly controlled translations and rotations. The fluid motion is described by linearized wave equations under shallow water approximations. For irrotational flows, a new variational formulation of Saint-Venant equations is proposed. This provides a simple method to establish the equations when the tank is moving. Several control...

Consider a rectangular tank containing an inviscid incompressible and irrotational 'uid. The tank is subject to a one-dimensional horizontal move (the control) and the motion of the 'uid is described by the shallow water equations. By means of a Lyapunov approach, control laws that stabilize the state of the 'uid–tank system are derived. Two classes of control are considered: full-state feedbac...
