In the present paper, model tests of suppressing sloshing fitted with two perforated floating plates are carried out. The study involves identification of system performance such as the suppression and the solidity ratio. Three different solidity ratios of perforated plates have been tried out as potential positive slosh damping devices. A series of painstaking experiments have been conducted in a rigid rectangular tank on six degrees of freedom motion platform under roll harmonic excitation. Comparison of the clean tank shows that the three types of perforated plates are all effective on damping the run-up and impact pressure along the bulkhead. The parametric study indicates that the perforated plate with the median solidity ratio is the most optimal one in suppressing sloshing among three configurations.

The natural sloshing frequencies of annular cylindrical TLD are parametrically investigated by experiment, aiming at the exploration of its successful use for suppressing the structural vibration of spar-type floating wind turbine subject to multidirectional wind, wave and current excitations. Five prototypes of annular cylindrical TLD are defined according to the inner and outer radii of acryl container, and eight different liquid fill heights are experimented for each TLD prototype. The apparent masses near the first and second natural sloshing frequencies are parametrically investigated by measuring the apparent mass of interior liquid sloshing to the acceleration excitation. It is observed from the parametric experiments that the first natural sloshing frequency shows the remarkable change with respect to the liquid fill height for each TLD model with different container dimensions. On the other hand, the second natural sloshing frequency is not sensitive to the liquid fill height but to the gap size, for all the TLD models, convincing that the annular cylindrical sloshing damper can effectively suppress the wave- and wind-induced tilting motion of the spar-type floating wind turbine.

액체가 부분적으로 채워져 있는 용기에서 발생하는 슬로싱 현상을 이해하고 이를 효과적으로 제어하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 선행 연구들이 대부분 사인파형(sinusoidal) 가진에 의한 슬로싱 및 공진 현상에 관심을 가진 반면, 본 연구에서는 산업 현장에서 액체 용기를 빠르게 이송시킬 때 발생하는 슬로싱을 이해하고 억제하고자 하였다. 즉, 사각 용기를 수평방향으로 빠르게 이송시킬 때 발생하는 2상 유동을 수치해석으로 구한 후, 용기의 속도 프로파일(특히 가속 및 감속 시간)이 슬로싱에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과 용기의 가감속 시간이 1차 모드 고유주기의 정수배가 될 때 슬로싱이 상당히 억제되는 것을 관찰하였고, 이는 슬로싱 억제 방안으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper aims to numerically investigate violent sloshing in a partially filled three-dimensional (3D) prismatic tank with or without a baffle, further to clarify the suppressing performance of the baffle and the damping mechanism of sloshing. The numerical model is based on a Cartesian grid multiphase flow method, and it is well validated by nonlinear sloshing in a 3D rectangular tank with a vertical baffle. Then, sloshing in an unbaffled and baffled prismatic tank is parametrically studied. The effects of chamfered walls on the resonance frequency and the impact pressure are analyzed. The resonance frequencies for the baffled prismatic tank under different water depths and baffle heights are identified. Moreover, we investigated the effects of the baffle on the impact pressure and the free surface elevation. Further, the free surface elevation, pressure and vortex contours are analyzed to clarify the damping mechanism between the baffle and the fluid.

Tuned Liquid damper and Tuned Liquid Column are kind of passive mechanical damper which relies on the sloshing of liquid in a rigid tank for suppressing structural vibrations. TLD and TLCD are attributable to several potential advantages - low costs ; easy to install in existing structures : effective even for small-amplitude vibrations. In this paper, the shaking table experiments were conducted to investigate the characteristics of water sloshing motion in TLD (rectangular, circular) and TLCD. The parameter obtained from the experiments were wave height, base shear force and energy dissipation. The shaking table experiments show that the liquid sloshing relies on amplitude of shaking table and frequency of tank. The TLCD was more effective control vibration than TLD.

액체로켓 기체공급계는 추진제를 요구되는 유량, 온도, 압력으로 엔진에 공급하여야 한다. 이를 위한 정상상태의 공급특성은 기존의 열역학 및 열전달, 유체역학 이론을 적용하여 해석하며 방법론이 잘 정립되어 있다. 발사체의 비행 중에 발생하는 탱크와 공급배관에서의 추진제의 진동은 정상상태의 공급특성을 변하게 하며 추진제공급 요구조건을 만족시키지 못하게 한다. 이러한 진동을 발생시키는 것으로서 발사체의 가속도로 인한 슬로싱 및 엔진의 추력섭동에 의해 배관 내 추진제가 진동하는 포고 불안정이 있다. 포고와 슬로싱에 의한 발사체 제어와 구조측면에서 미치는 영향에 대해서는 기존에 많은 연구가 있으나 추진제 공급특성에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 추진제의 진동이 엔진으로의 추진제 공급에 미치는 영향을 기존 자료를 이용하여 살펴보고 진동을 제어하기 위한 기구를 살펴본다.
