Storage tank filled with fluid has unique dynamic characteristics compared to general structures, due to the interaction between fluid and structure. The oscillation of the fluid surface caused by external forces is called sloshing, which occurs in moving vehicles with contained liquid masses, such as trucks, railroad cars, aircrafts, and liquid missles. In this study, the evaluation method for the reduction of sloshing, the optimized size and location of wing and diaphragm baffles are suggested based on the experimental results. The experimental device can simulate the translation motion. A rectangular tank and various baffles are fabricated to study on the sloshing characteristics. The forces measured using the load cell at tank wall and those are compared with each other through the Fourier transformation for various conditions. The study of the sloshing of the rectangular tank equipped with baffles is conducted under the same conditions with non-baffled rectangular tank experiment. From the experimental results, the sloshing reduction effect by the baffles is observed. In conclusion in case of diaphragm baffles, the optimized size ratio of the width of baffle to the water height is 0.44 and the installation location has no effect to the damping of sloshing. In case of wing baffles, the optimized size ratio of the width of baffle to the length of a rectangular tank is 0.1 and the optimized location ratio of the baffle to the water height is 0.9.

A dynamic fluid-structure-soil interaction analysis method is developed to investigate the effects of rocking motion on the seismic response of the 3-D flexible rectangular liquid storage tanks founded on the deformable ground. The governing equation of 3-D rectangular tanks subjected to the translational and rocking motions is obtained by Rayleigh-Ritz method. The dynamic stiffness matrix of the rigid surface foundation resting on the surface of a stratum are calculated by hyperelement method. The seismic responses of a 3-D flexible tank model founded on the deformable ground is calculated by combining the governing equation of the structural motion with the dynamic stiffness matrix of the rigid surface foundation.

A liquid storage rectangular tank structures are used in many fields of civil, mechanical and marine engineering. Especially, Ship structures have many tanks in contact with inner or outer fluid, like ballast, fuel and cargo tanks. Fatigue damages are sometimes observed in these tanks which seem to be caused by resonance with exciting force of engine and propeller. Vibration characteristics of these thin walled tanks in contact with fluid near engine propeller are strongly affected by added mass of containing fluid. Therefore it is essentially important to estimate the added mass effect to predict vibration of the tank structures. Many authors have studied vibration of cylindrical and rectangular tanks structures containing fluid. Few research on dynamic interaction among tank walls through fluid are reported in the vibration of rectangular tanks recently. In case of rectangular tanks, structural coupling between adjacent panels and effect of vibration modes of multiple panels on added mass have to be considered. In the present paper, coupling effect between panels of tank structure on added mass of containing fluid, the effect of structural constraint between panels on each vibration mode for fluid region have investigated numerically and experimentally.

Liquid storage tank is one of the major infrastructures and generally used to store gases, drinking and utilizing water, dangerous fluids, fire water and so on. According to the recent reports and experiences, the tank structures are damaged in many earthquakes due to their low energy dissipating capacity. Therefore, many researchers have been tried to know the dynamic properties of the tanks including liquids. However, vary limited experimental studies are carried out using relatively small tank models. In this study, a series of shaking table tests are performed with maximum 2 m cubic rectangular liquid storage tanks made of steel to measure the natural frequency and estimate damping coefficient of impulsive and convective mode of the tanks. Especially, the damping values under different shapes and excitation methods are estimated by logarithmic decrement method and half power band-pass method and compared with current design code and standards such as ASCE 7, Eurocode 8 and NZS. Test results show that the impulsive mode damping is around 2% which is proposed by general standards and codes but the impulsive mode damping is 0.13% average that is slightly lower than the code recommendation.

To prevent major cracking and failure during earthquakes, it is important to design reinforced concrete liquid storage structures, such as water and fuel storage tanks, properly for the hydrodynamic pressure loads caused by seismic excitations. There is a discussion in recent Codes that most of the base shear applied to liquid containment structures is resisted by inplane membrane shear rather than by transverse flexural shear. The purpose of this paper is to underline the importance of the membrane force system in carrying the base shear produced by hydrodynamic pressures in both rectangular and cylindrical tank structures. Only rigid tanks constrained at the base are considered. Analysis is performed for both tall and broad tanks to compare their behavior under seismic excitation. Efforts are made to quantify the percentage of base shear carried by membrane action and the consequent procedures that must be followed for safe design of liquid containing storage structures.

사각형 유체저장 탱크내에 저장되어 있는 유체의 비선형 유동거동을 섭동법을 사용하여 해석하였다. 제시된 방법에 의한 비선형 해석결과는 기존의 연구결과와 잘 일치하였다. 지반특성과 탱크형상에 따른 유체 표면의 비선형 거동 특성을 분석하여 비선형 해석의 중요성을 입증하였다. 유체의 비선형 거동은 토사지반에서 크게 나타나며 특히 Broad Tank에서의 응답은 대단히 크게 나타났다. 일반적으로 유체표면 유동의 비선형 해석결과는 선형해석결과 보다 크게 나타났다. 유체저장탱크의 설계시 선형해석 만으로는 최대응답을 과소평가할 수 있으므로 비선형 해석을 반드시 수행할 필요가 있다.

A thermal storage systems was designed to correspond to the temporal or quantitative variation in the thermal energy demand, and most of its heat is stored using the latent and sensible heat of the heat storage material. The heat storage method using latent heat has a very complex phenomenon for heat transfer and thermal behavior because it is accompanied by a phase change in the course of heating/cooling of the heat storage material. Therefore, many studies have been conducted to produce an experimentally accessible as well as numerical approach to confirm the heat transfer and thermal behavior of phase change materials. The purpose of this study was to investigate the problems encountered during the actual heat transfer from an internal storage tank through simulation of the process of storing and utilizing thermal energy from the thermal storage tank containing charged PCM. This study used analysis methods to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of the PCM with simultaneous heating/cooling conditions in the rectangular space simulating the thermal storage tank. A numerical analysis was carried out in a state considering natural convection using the ANSYS FLUENT(R) program. The result indicates that the slope of the liquid-solid interface in the analysis field changed according to the temperature difference between the heating surface and cooling surface.

악취가스의 대기확산을 방지하고, 액비의 발효를 위한 폭기장치의 가동을 정상화하여 액비저장조의 활용도를 높이고, 내식성 자재를 사용하여 구조적 안전성을 개선하기 위한 목적으로 액비저장조 밀폐형 지붕구조 모델을 개발하였으며, 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 액비저장조 및 지붕구조의 이용실태 조사결과, 악취가스의 발생으로 인한 민원 때문에 폭기장치 가동을 중단하고 있거나 특정시기에 한해 가동하는 농가가 대부분이었으며, 일반구조용 아연도금강관을 사용한 지붕 구조재의 부식이 다른 시설보다 빠르게 진행되고 있음을 확인하였다. 2. 구조자재의 강도시험 결과, 5년 동안 사용한 밀폐형 지붕 구조재의 경우 초기 강도의 34%까지 강도가 감소되는 등 부식에 의한 구조물의 강도저하가 심각하였으며, 내식성자재로 선발된 스테인리스(STS439)강의 경우 일반구조용강에 비해 1.4배 높은 강도를 나타내었다. 3. 직경 9.5m인 원형 액비저장조에 대하여 기존의 자재를 사용한 지붕모델과 내식성 자재를 사용한 지붕모델에 대하여 적설에 대한 구조안전성 분석 결과, 기존 자재를 사용한 경우에 비해 동일한 단면크기를 갖는 내식성 자재를 사용한 경우 적설에 대한 안전성이 약 2.3배까지 향상된 것으로 나타났다. 이상과 같이 본 연구에서 개발된 액비저장조 지붕모델은 밀폐형이므로 폭기시 발생하는 악취가스가 대기중으로 확산되지 않으며, 그 골조를 내식성이 우수한 스테인리스강, 아연용융도금강, FRP수지피복강을 사용하여 내구년한을 증가시킴으로써 구조적 안정성이 크게 향상되었다. 단, 금속재료의 부식에 대한 문제는 좀 더 장기간의 관찰과 실험을 통해 액비저장조 및 축산시설 고유의 부식속도를 구명하는 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.
