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.

It is very important to understand and control the sloshing in a liquid container that is partially filled with liquid. Previous studies focused primarily on the sloshing and resonance caused by sinusoidal excitations, while the present study focuses on understanding and suppressing sloshing in a container that moves rapidly from a given point to another in industrial applications. To achieve this, we first numerically predict the two-phase flow induced by the horizontal movement of a rectangular container. Then we analyze the effects of container-velocity profile (in particular acceleration/deceleration duration) on sloshing. Results show that sloshing is significantly suppressed when the acceleration/deceleration duration is a multiple of the 1st-mode natural period of sloshing.

비행체의 액체 저장탱크에서의 슬로싱 현상은 비행체의 조정 안정성 상실은 물론 구조적인 파손이 발생하여 인명 및 재정 손실이 초래 될 수 있다. 또한 최근 대형 선박에서의 액체 저장탱크에서도 슬로싱 문제는 주요한 관심사로 되어 있다. 선진기술국에서는 이러한 슬로싱 문제를 해결하기 위해 많은 관심을 쏟아 왔으나 국내에서는 체계적인 연구가 미흡한 실정이다.

In this study, experimental procedures were suggested to investigate the sloshing behavior of a liquid storage tank subjected to inevitably external vibrating conditions. For this purpose. liquid storage tank with rectangular cross section was made of an acrylic resin for the visualization of liquid fluctuation. A specially designed vibrator was used to provide a specified vibrating condition to the liquid storage tank. Extrapolation technique was applied to determine sloshing natural frequency by using various sloshing frequencies at each vibrating displacement and liquid contents at a fixed vibrating frequency. Sloshing mode was also determined from continuous images or liquid fluctuation captured from a video camera. In addition, change in the height of the liquid free surface was measured by using a floating target and a laser displacement sensor. It is found that the suggested method can be applicable to identify the sloshing behavior of liquid storage tank with rectangular cross section.

This study was conducted to predict the tendency for heat exchange and boil-off gas (BOG) in a liquefied hydrogen tank under sloshing excitation. First, athe fluid domain excited by sloshing was modeled using a multiphase-thermal flow domain in which liquid hydrogen and hydrogen gas are in the saturated state. Both the the volume of fluid (VOF) and Eulerian-based multi-phase flow methods were applied to validate the accuracy of the pressure prediction. Second, it was indirectly shown that the fluid velocity prediction could be accurate by comparing the free surface and impact pressure from the computational fluid dynamics with those from the experimental results. Thereafter, the heat ingress from the external convective heat flux was reflected on the outer surfaces of the hydrogen tank. Eulerian-based multiphase-heat flow analysis was performed for a two-dimensional Type-C cylindrical hydrogen tank under rotational sloshing motion, and an inflation technique was applied to transform the fluid domain into a computational grid model. The heat exchange and heat flux in the hydrogen liquid-gas mixture were calculated throughout the analysis,, whereas the mass transfer and vaporization models were excluded to account for the pure heat exchange between the liquid and gas in the saturated state. In addition, forced convective heat transfer by sloshing on the inner wall of the tank was not reflected so that the heat exchange in the multiphase flow of liquid and gas could only be considered. Finally, the effect of sloshing on the amount of heat exchange between liquid and gas hydrogen was discussed. Considering the heat ingress into liquid hydrogen according to the presence/absence of a sloshing excitation, the amount of heat flux and BOG were discussed for each filling ratio.

Fuselage propellant feeding system should supply propellants to engine with required flow rate, temperature and pressure. Propellant vibration in engine and feeding line changes feeding characteristics, and frequently inhibits to satisfy the required feeding requirements. Sloshing and POGO vibration are known to be the major vibration phenomena. Concerning sloshing and POGO, vehicle control and structural dynamics aspects are extensively studied, whereas, its effect on propellant feeding performance is not clearly understood. This paper focuses on the deviation of required feeding performance due to propellant vibration. Overall characteristics of propellant vibration and its effect on propellant supply to engine are reviewed and control mechanism for suppressing vibration is introduced.

Suppression of sloshing is essential to achieve fast transportation and stable maneuvering of tanks partially filled with liquid. In this study, numerical simulations are performed to investigate the effects of the acceleration magnitude and the acceleration duration of triangular velocity profiles on sloshing when a rectangular tank moves horizontally. We previously reported, based on only the first natural mode, that sloshing is significantly suppressed when the acceleration duration equals the first natural period of sloshing. On the other hand, the present CFD simulations find the best acceleration duration for minimum sloshing and explains the results considering higher modes as well as the first mode. We also perform the analysis using an equivalent model based on masses and springs, and evaluate its accuracy by comparing it with the CFD simulation results.

The sloshing phenomenon sometimes happens to occur in a liquid fuel tank due to the unexpected and/or inevitable vibrating conditions and may result in severe effects on the structural stability. This study deals with the development of experimental techniques for the evaluation of sloshing behaviors in the liquid fuel tank and for the identification of natural frequencies and mode shapes by varying with various vibrating conditions. Measurements of the pressure and load acting on the side surface of vibrated liquid fuel tank are carried in order to identify the effects of sloshing phenomenon by using various types of baffles. The results show that the baffles can be used to minimize the sloshing phenomenon in liquid fuel tank effectively

Recently in the design of super tankers or LNG carriers which transport a large amount of liquid in the cargo holds, the structural damage due to liquid sloshing becomes an important problem. The impact pressure from sloshing is most violent when the liquid motion of a partially filled tank is in resonance with the motion of a ship. In this paper the sloshing natural periods in liquid cargo tanks are estimated for partially filled tanks with various geometries. Especially the sloshing periods of baffled tanks which are often installed to reduce liquid motion and sloshing forces are calculated. A variational method is adopted to analyze the baffled tank of arbitrary filling depth of liquid. In this approach the liquid domain is divided into several subdomains in which the analytic solutions are potential energy are calculated from the velocity potentials in eachsubdomain. By minimizing the Hamilton's functional, the sloshing natural periods are estimated and the results are compared with experimental and numerical results.
