In the field of fluid dynamics, the sloshing effects are most common and significant problem. It is usually appeared in the tank filled with fluid which is on the main structure, thus, sloshing effects and its impact load may affect to entire system. For the sloshing effects analysis, impact loads due to tank motion is generally investigated theocratically, experimentally and numerically. The difficulty of sloshing phenomenon is non-linearity induced by large deformation at the free-surface. In this regard, it is well known issue that the repeatability on the sloshing problems is very low. In this study, moving particle semi-implicit method was employed to simulate sloshing problem and then the results were compared with corresponding experiments captured by high accuracy high speed camera. The results from numerical simulation was compared to experimental results.

본 논문은 슬로싱(Sloshing) 거동에 놓인 극저온 액체수소 화물창의 BOG 예측을 위한 CFD 해석 절차를 다루고 있다. 특히, 적재율(Filling Ratio)에 따라 달라지는 열 유입과 그에 따른 액체수소의 기화 경향을 파악하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 액체수소와 기체수소의 혼재에 의한 다상 열유동(Multiphase-Thermal flow) 특성을 반영하고 유동에 따른 강제 대류 현상을 열유속에 반영하기 위한 CFD 해석을 수행하였다. 다상 유동 모델의 정확성을 검증하기 위하여 슬로싱 실험의 압력 계측 값과 해석의 압력 값 및 자유수면(Free surface) 형상을 비교하였다. 소형 C-Type 독립형 액화수소 탱크를 대상으로 슬로싱 유동과 BOG 발생을 수치적으로 예측하였다. 해석 과정에서 VOF(Volume of fraction) 모델과 Eulerian 모델을 모두 적용하여, 액체수소에 유입되는 열 유속(Heat flux)의 예측 정확성을 비교하였다. 슬로싱 유무에 따라 액체수소에 유입되는 열 유속을 비교하여 슬로싱 유동의 포함 여부에 따른 BOG 발생량의 변화를 제시하였으며, 최종적으로 액체수소의 충전율(Filling ratio) 별로 BOG 발생량의 경향성을 제시하였다.

The two-dimensional sloshing problem in a rigid rectangular tank with a free surface is considered. The flow is generated by a container in harmonic motion in time along the horizontal axis, i.e., a container excited by u=Asin($2{\pi}ft$) where u denotes the container velocity imposed externally, A is the amplitude of the oscillation velocity, and f is the frequency of oscillation. Experimental apparatus is arranged to investigate the large-amplitude sloshing flows in off-resonant conditions, where the large amplitude means that A~O(1), and the distance, S, is comparable to the breadth, L, of the container, i.e., L/S~O(1). Comprehensive particle image velocimetry (PIV) data are obtained, which show that the flow physics of the nonlinear off-resonant sloshing problem can be characterized into three peculiar free surface motions: standing-wave motions similar to those of linear sloshing, a run-up phenomenon along the vertical sidewall at the moment of turn-over of the container, and gradually propagating bore motion from the sidewall to the interior fluid region, like a hydraulic jump.

This work describes the experimental investigations on sloshing characteristics of water and ferrofluid as working fluids in the spherical container with the horizontal oscillation motion and compared the results obtained by two working fluids. In order to Investigate the sloshing characteristics of the sphere container with the horizontal oscillation, experiments are performed with the magnetic intensities from 0 mT to 50 mT and horizontal oscillation motions from 5 mm to 15 mm. As results, Ferrofluid without magnetic field in the sphere container showed a similar liquid surface movement with water. The resonance point of the ferrofluid in the sphere container happened at higher value than that of the theoretical resonance frequency with the rise of the magnetic field. In addition, the sloshing characteristics of the ferrofluid in the sphere container can be controlled with the resonance frequency with the magnetic intensity and the liquid surface displacement could be also controlled.

To ensure the structural integrity of membrane type LNG tank, the rational assessment of impact pressure and structural responses due to sloshing should be preceded. The sloshing impact pressures acting on the insulation system of LNG tank are typical irregular loads and the structural responses caused by them also very complex behaviors including fluid structure interaction. So it is not easy to estimate them accurately and huge time consuming process would be necessary. In this research, a simplified method to analyze the dynamic structural responses of LNG tank insulation system under pressure time histories obtained by sloshing model test or numerical analysis was proposed. This technique basically based on the concept of linear combination of the triangular response functions which are obtained by the transient response analysis under the unit triangular impact pressure acting on structures in time domain. The validity of suggested method was verified through the example calculations and applied to the structural analysis of real Mark III type insulation system using the sloshing impact pressure time histories obtained by model test.

The sloshing phenomenon can be defined as the nonlinear movement of the free-surface of liquids inside tanks. It generates dynamic loads on the tank structure and thus becomes a problem of relative importance in the design of marine structures. The present study describes a experiment of the sloshing of flows with free-surface which contained in a rectangular tank moving in pitching motion.

In this study, a three-dimensional least-square, level-set-based two-phase flow code was developed for the simulation of three-dimensional sloshing problems using finite element discretization. The code was validated by solving some benchmark problems. The proposed method was found to provide improved results against other existing methods, by using a coarser mesh. The results of the numerical experiments conducted during the course of this study showed that the proposed method was both robust and accurate for the simulation of three-dimensional sloshing problems. Using a substantially coarse grid, historical results of the dynamic pressure at a selected position corresponded with existing experimental data. The pressure history with a finer grid was similar to that of a coarse grid; however, a fine grid provided higher peak pressures. The present method could be extended to the analysis of a sloshing problem in a complex geometrical configuration using unstructured meshes owing to the features of FEM.

The reliable sloshing assessment methods for LNG CCS(cargo containment system) are important to satisfy the structural strength of the systems. Multiphase fluid flow of LNG and Gas Compressibility may have a large effect on excited pressures and structural response. Impinging jet model has been introduced to simulate the impact of the LNG sloshing and analyze structural response of LNG CCS as a practical FSI(fluid structure interaction) method. The practical method based on fluid structure interaction analysis is employed in order to evaluate the structural strength in actual scale for Mark III CCS. The numerical model is based on an Euler model that employs the CVFEM(control volume based finite element method). It includes the particle motion of gas to simulate not only the interphase interaction between LNG liquid and gas and the impact load on the LNG insulation box. The analysis results by proposed method are evaluated and discussed for an effectiveness of FSI analysis method.
