멤브레인형 LNG 탱크의 구조적 안전성을 확보하기 위해서는 슬로싱에 의한 작용 압력과 구조응답을 정확히 평가할 수 있어야 한다. 탱크 방열구조에 작용하는 슬로싱 충격하중은 매우 불규칙적이며 이로 인한 구조 응답 역시 유탄성 거동을 포함하는 매우 복잡한 물리 현상이기 때문에 최신의 이론적 실험적 접근 방법을 동원하더라도 정확한 평가가 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 실험이나 수치해석으로부터 얻어진 슬로싱 압력 시계열을 이용하여 탱크 방열 구조의 구조응답을 간편하게 해석할 수 있는 방안을 제안하였다. 이 간이 해석법은 기본적인 삼각형 impulse 형태의 충격 압력에 대한 구조응답을 시간영역에서 과도응답해석법으로 계산한 후, 이렇게 구해진 구조물의 삼각형 응답함수를 조합하여 임의 형상의 압력 시계열에 대한 구조 응답을 구하는 방식이다. 여러 가지 예제 해석을 통하여 제안된 해석법의 타당성을 검토하였고, 이를 이용하여 실제 모형실험에서 얻어진 압력시계열을 바탕으로 구조응답을 계산하고 그 결과를 고찰하였다.

A variety of inner baffles are often installed to reduce liquid sloshing and prevent tank damage. In particular, a porous baffle has a distinct advantage in reducing sloshing by changing the natural periods and dissipating the wave energy in a tank. In model tests, porous baffles with five different porosities were installed vertically in a liquid tank under sway motion. The free surface elevations and pressures were measured using an image processing technique and a pressure gage for various combinations of baffle's porosity and submergence depth, and tank's amplitude and period. The experimental results were in good agreement with the analytic solutions (Cho, 2015), with the exception of a quantitative difference at resonant periods. The experimental results showed that the sloshing characteristics in a tank were closely dependent on both the porosity and submergence depth of the baffle, and the optimal porosity existed near P = 0.1275.

In this paper, an experimental study on sloshing problems in an independent B-type tank of STX Offshore and Shipbuilding Co. is described. Recently STX Offshore and Shipbuilding Co. introduced a new design of an independent B-type tank in order to reduce sloshing impact loads on LNG CCS. This tank has many internal members, so that sloshing flow and the resultant hydrodynamic loads are very different from those in typical membrane tanks. In this study, a series of sloshing experiment have been carried out for 1/50 scale model, and the main characteristics of sloshing load on the independent tank are observed. The properly scaled internal members such as swash bulkhead, center bulkhead and stringers have been installed in the test tank model, but sloshing pressures are measured on the tank walls only. The forced excitation signals have been generated by using the predicted ship motion in irregular sea states. The characteristics of sloshing loads on this tank have been observed in different filling levels with various heading angles, and sea states. In this paper, some key findings from the model tests are discussed.

LNG 방열 시스템의 선형 동적해석 모델을 사용하여 슬로싱 충격 압력을 구조해석에 적용 시 사용되는 이상화된 삼각파 압력에 대해서 검토하였다. 삼각파 압력의 최대값, 지속시간, 비대칭성의 충격파에 대한 구조 안전성 평가를 위해서 멤브레인 구조의 허용기준과 슬로싱 압력에 관련된 간략화된 파괴압력에 대해 검토하고, 슬로싱 충격 압력의 지속시간과 비대칭성으로 특징 지워진 이상화된 삼각파 형상의 압력을 고려한 일련의 선형 동적해석을 수행하여 설계기준으로 사용할 파괴압력을 도출하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 방법을 통해서 방열시스템 구조 요소의 안전성을 평가하기 위한 파괴 압력을 선정할 수 있고 모형실험을 통한 슬로싱 압력과의 비교를 통하여 방열시스템의 구조안전성을 평가할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다. 또한 해석결과를 통해 방열시스템에서의 최대 응력은 매우 짧은 순간의 충격하중 하에서는 압력의 비대칭성 보다는 하중 지속시간에 많은 영향을 받고 있음을 검토하였다.

The performance of a porous swash bulkhead for the reduction of the resonant liquid motion in a swaying rectangular tank was investigated based on the assumption of linear potential theory. The Galerkin method (Porter and Evans, 1995) was used to solve the potential flow model by adding a viscous frictional damping term to the free-surface condition. By comparing the experimental results and the analytical solutions, we verified that the frictional damping coefficient was 0.4. Darcy's law was used to consider the energy dissipation at a porous bulkhead. The tool that was developed with a built-in frictional damping coefficient of 0.4 was confirmed by small-scale experiments. Using this tool, the free-surface elevation, hydrodynamic force (added mass, damping coefficient) on a wall, and the horizontal load on a bulkhead were assessed for various combinations of porosity and submergence depth. It was found that the vertical porous bulkhead can suppress sloshing motions significantly when properly designed and by selecting the appropriate porosity(${\approx}0.1$) and submergence depth.

The motions and drift forces of side-by-side moored FSRU and LNGC including the sloshing effect, were studied using experiments. The FSRU and LNGC contained LNG cargo tanks and the LNG sloshing could affect the motions and drift forces of the structures due to its coupling with floating body motion. The effect of coupling can vary with the LNG filling level, and the effect of the filling level was investigated. The coupling effect was stronger at lower filling level. It was confirmed that longitudinal sloshing influenced the surge and surge mean drift force in head sea. In addition, gap flow affected the sway and mean drift forces. Sloshing attenuated the sway and yaw excited by gap flow in side-by-side configuration.

The interaction between a sloshing liquid damper (SLD) tank and a rectangular pontoon was investigated under the assumption of the linear potential theory. The eigenfunction expansion method was used not only for the sloshing problem in the SLD tank but also for analyzing the motion responses of a rectangular pontoon in waves. If the frictional damping due to the viscosity of the SLD tank was ignored, the effect of the SLD appeared to be an added mass in the coupled equation of motion. The installation of the SLD tank had a greater effect on the roll motion response than the sway and heave motion of the pontoon. One resonance peak for rolling motion showed up in the case of a frozen liquid in the SLD tank. However, if liquid motion in the SLD tank was allowed, two peaks appeared around the first natural frequency of the fluid in the SLD tank. In particular, the peak value located in the low-frequency region had a relatively large value, and the peak frequency located in the high-frequency region moved into the high-frequency region as the depth of the liquid in the tank increased.

본 논문은 슬로싱 상태에 놓인 포화 상태 액체수소탱크에서 열 유속 및 BOG(Boil-off gas)의 경향을 다루고 있다. 특히, 액체-기체간의 침투 및 혼합에 의한 열 교환에 관심을 두었다. 먼저, VOF(Volume of fluid)와 Eulerian 기반의 다상 유동모델로 모형 슬로싱 실험을 모사하여 압력을 예측하고 계측된 값과 비교하였다. 자유 수면 및 충격 압력 실험 결과와 해석 결과를 비교하였으며, 유체의 속도 예측에서 정확할 수 있음을 간접적으로 증명하였다. 그리고 2차원의 Type-C 원통형 수소탱크를 대상으로 다상열유동해석을 수행하였다. 이때 포화상태에 놓인 액체 및 기체수소를 가정하고, 해석을 통해 각 상간의 혼합에 의한 열 교환의 수준을 확인하고자 하였다. 단, 상간의 열 교환만을 관심으로 두고 있었으므로 질량전달 및 기화모델은 해석에서 제외하였다. 최종적으로 상의 혼합으로 인해 액체수소로 유입되는 열 유속의 기여도에 대하여 정리하였다. 또한 액체수소로 유입되는 열 유속과 집중 질량 기반의 간이식을 통해 BOG 발생량 및 경향을 예측하고 분석하였다.

In this study, experimental and numerical methods were applied to observe sloshing impact phenomena. A two-dimensional rectangular tank filled with water and air was considered with a specific excitation condition that induced a hydrodynamic impact without an air pocket at the top corner of the tank. High-speed cameras and a pressure measurement system were synchronized, and a particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique was applied to measure the velocity field and corresponding pressure. The experimental condition was implemented in a numerical computation to solve incompressible two-phase flows using a Cartesian-grid method. The discretized solution was obtained using the finite difference and constraint-interpolation-profile (CIP) methods, which adopt a fractional step scheme for coupling the pressure and velocity. The tangent of the hyperbola for interface capturing (THINC) scheme was used with the weighed line interface calculation (WLIC) method to capture the interface between the air and water. The calculated impact pressures and velocity fields were compared with experimental data, and the relationship between the local velocity and pressure was investigated based on the computational results.
