Based on the fully nonlinear velocity potential theory, the liquid sloshing in a three dimensional tank under random excitation is studied. The governing Laplace equation with fully nonlinear boundary conditions on the moving free surface is solved using the indirect desingularized boundary integral equation method (DBIEM). The fourth-order predictor-corrector Adams-Bashforth-Moulton scheme (ABM4) and mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian (MEL) method are used for the time-stepping integration of the free surface boundary conditions. A smoothing scheme, B-spline curve, is applied to both the longitudinal and transverse directions of the tank to eliminate the possible saw-tooth instabilities. When the tank is undergoing one dimensional regular motion of small amplitude, the calculated results are found to be in very good agreement with linear analytical solution. In the simulation, the normal standing waves, travelling waves and bores are observed. The extensive calculation has been made for the tank undergoing specified random oscillation. The nonlinear effect of random sloshing wave is studied and the effect of peak frequency used for the generation of random oscillation is investigated. It is found that, even as the peak value of spectrum for oscillation becomes smaller, the maximum wave elevation on the side wall becomes bigger when the peak frequency is closer to the natural frequency.

Free surface fluid oscillation in prolate spheroidal tanks has been investigated analytically in this study. This paper aims is to investigate the sloshing frequencies in spheroidal prolate tanks and compare them with conventional cylindrical and spherical containers to select the best tank geometry for use in space launch vehicles in which the volume of fuel is very high. Based on this, the analytical method (Fourier series expansion) and potential fluid theory in the spheroidal coordinate system are used to extract and analyze the governing differential equations of motion. Then, according to different aspect ratios and other parameters such as filling levels, the fluid sloshing frequencies in the spheroidal prolate tank are determined and evaluated based on various parameters. The natural frequencies obtained for a particular tank are compared with other literature and show a good agreement with these results. In addition, spheroidal prolate tank frequencies have been compared with sloshing frequencies in cylindrical and spherical containers in different modes. Results show that when the prolate spheroidal tank is nearly full and in the worst case when the tank is half full and the free fluid surface is the highest, the prolate spheroidal natural frequencies are higher than of spherical and cylindrical tanks. Therefore, the use of spheroidal tanks in heavy space launch vehicles, in addition to the optimal use of placement space, significantly reduces the destructive effects of sloshing.

본 연구에서는 구형(sphere) 용기 내 작동유체로 물과 자성유체(ferrofluid)를 사용하였을 경우의 구형 용기의 병진 운동에 따른 슬로싱(sloshing) 현상에 대하여 실험적으로 고찰하였고 두 가지 작동유체에서 나타나는 특성을 비교하였다. 구형 용기의 병진운동에 따른 슬로싱 현상을 고찰하기 위하여, 자기장(magnetic field)을 0 mT에서 50 mT로 변화시키고, 가진 진폭을 5 mm에서 15 mm로 변화시켜가면서 실험을 수행하였다. 결과적으로, 구형 용기내의 자성유체는 자기장를 인가하지 않았을 때 물과 유사한 액면거동 현상을 나타내었고, 자성유체에 인가되는 자기장 세기가 증가할수록 공진점(resonance point) 발생이 이론공진주파수(theoretical resonance frequency)보다 높은 영역에서 발생함을 확인하였다. 즉 용기 내 슬로싱은 자성유체를 사용할 경우 인가 자기장의 크기에 따라 공진점이 발생하는 공진주파수를 제어할 수 있으며 액면 변위의 크기를 제어할 수 있었다.

Sloshing behavior of liquid within containers represents one of the most fundamental fluid-structure interactions. Liquid in partially filled tanks tends to slosh when subjected to external disturbances. Sloshing is a vicious resonant fluid motion in a moving tank. To understand the effect of baffle positioned at L/3 and 2L/3 location, a shake table experiments was conducted for different fill volumes of aspect ratio 0.163, 0.325 and 0.488. For a fixed amplitude of 7.5 mm, the excitation frequencies are varied between 0.457 Hz to 1.976 Hz. Wave probes have been located at both tank ends to capture the surface elevation. The experimental parameters such as sloshing oscillation and energy dissipation are discussed here. Comparison is done for with baffles and without baffles conditions. For both conditions, the results showed that aspect ratio of 0.163 gives better surface elevation and energy dissipation than obtained for aspect ratio 0.325 and 0.488. Good agreement is observed when numerical analysis is compared with the experiments results.

The oscillation of the fluid caused by external forces is called sloshing, which occurs in moving vehicles with contained liquid masses, such as aircraft. cars and liquid rocket and so on. This sloshing effect could be a severe problem in vehicle stability and control. So, various baffles are used in order to reduce the sloshing. The Lagrangian, Eulerian and ALE numerical method is widely used on the analysis of sloshing presently. But, these numerical methods are needed so many CPU time. In this study, for the reduction of the sloshing analysis time, me multi.layer perceptron artificial neural network is introduced and analysis results are presented.

A numerical prediction method has been proposed to predict non-linear free surface oscillation in a three-dimensional container. The fluid motions are numerically predicted with Navier-Stokes equations discretized in a Lagrangian scheme with sufficient numerical accuracy. The profile of a free surface is precisely represented with three-dimensional body-fitted coordinates (BFC), which are regenerated in each computational step on the basis of the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation. In order to confirm the reliability of the computational method, it was firstly applied to three-dimensional flows within complicated-shaped rigid boundaries, such as curved pipes and ducts. Than it was applied to benchmark computations related to free surface oscillations. Following these basic verifications, non-linear sloshings in a cylindrical tank and transitions from sloshing to swirling motions were numerically predicted. Throughout these computations, the applicability of the present computational method has been confirmed and some of the predicted free surface motions were visualized as sequential images and animations to understand their dynamic futures.

A developed code based on the unified conservation laws of incompressible/compressible fluids is applied to analyze similarity in pressure oscillations caused by pulsating air pockets in sloshing tanks. It is shown that the nondimensional time histories of pressure show good agreements under Froude and geometric similarities, provided that there are no pulsating entrapped air pockets. However, the nondimesional period of pressure oscillation due to the pulsating air pocket becomes longer as the size of the sloshing tank increases. The discrepancy in the nondimensional period is attributed to the compressibility bias of the entrapped air. To get rid of the compressibility bias, the ullage pressure in a sloshing tank is adjusted based on the Bagnold's impact number. The variation in the period of pressure oscillation according to the ullage pressure is explained based on the spring-mass system. It is shown that the nondimensional period of pressure oscillation is virtually constant when the ullage pressure is adjusted based on the Bagnold's impact number, regardless of tank size. It is found that the Bagold's impact number should be the same, if the time history of pressure is important while an entrapped air pocket pulsates.

The oscillation of the fluid caused by external forces is call ed sloshing, which occurs in moving vehicles with contained liquid masses, such as trucks, railroad cars, aircraft, and liquid rocket. This sloshing effect could be a severe problem in vehicle stability and control. In this study, the optimization design technique for reduction of the sloshing using evolutionary method is suggested. Two evolutionary methods are employed, respectively the artificial neural network(ANN) and genetic algorithm. An artificial neural network is used for the analysis of sloshing and genetic algorithm is adopted as optimization algorithm. As a result of optimization design, the optimized size and location of the baffle is presented

An experiment, in the cases that satisfies deep water condition, has been performed to observe the strongly nonlinear sloshing flow in a rectangular tank. A variety of parametric study on oscillating frequency and amplitude was conducted and we found that two types of wave motions, sloshing wave and Faraday wave, could be persisting simultaneously even in horizontal sloshing problem. Moreover, it is observed both of symmetric and skewed symmetric Faraday wave exist. A comprehensive explanation is given to the generation mechanism of those waves and how to interact among them.
