1 Correspondence to G.M. Lingaraju, e-mail: [email protected] Summary This paper discusses real time visualisation of free surface flows that are modelled using an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) approach. To integrate the dynamic simulation with the visualization, a comprehensive yet extensible Graphical User Interface (GUI) is used. The visualization technique employed is demonstrated on ...

Nonlinear interactions among incident wave, tank-sloshing and freely floating body coupled motion are investigated. The fully nonlinear sloshing and body-surface nonlinear free surface hydrodynamics is simulated using a non-uniform rational B-spline higher-order panel method (NURBS) in time domain based on the potential theory. A robust and stable improved iterative procedure, iterative semi-im...

In this paper the potential flow approach adopted in previous investigations for the coupling effect between rigid body ship motion and sloshing is extended to the flexible ship-partially filled tank system, using the de-singularised Rankine source method. The unified method is verified by applying it to the sloshing in a partially filled rectangular tank with a flexible wall. The main aim of t...

Three-dimensional tank in smooth tank is of concern in various engineering applications. Sloshing waves in moving tanks have been studied numerically, theoretically and experimentally in past several decades and many significant phenomena have been considered in those studies, especially the linear and nonlinear effects of sloshing wave with inviscid or viscid liquid in a tank. The reported stu...

Many studies have been reported for the sloshing analysis in liquid containers. One of the major concerns in the marine hydrodynamic field is the accurate prediction of impulsive load on internal structures. During violent sloshing, the sloshing-induced impact load can cause a critical damage on tank structure. Such damage cases have been reported for oil tankers, LNG carriers and bulk carriers...

A numerical scheme of study is developed to model compressible two-fluid flows simulating liquid sloshing in a partially filled tank. For a two-fluid system separated by an interface as in the case of sloshing, not only a Mach-uniform scheme is required but also an effective way to eliminate unphysical numerical oscillations near the interface. By introducing a preconditioner, the governing equ...
