Every effort has been tried for the reduction of sloshing impact loading to the LNG Cargo Containment System (CCS). And, a new type of floating mat system is recently considered for the further sloshing reduction to mitigate the sloshing impact loading in partial filling of the LNG CCS. In this study, model scale sloshing tests are carried out with partial filled tank heights for the comparison of the reduction effects of a new type of floating mat system on the sloshing induced impact loading, and model scale sloshing simulations, using Multi-Material Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (MMALE) formulation and Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) analysis technique of LS-DYNA code. The sloshing response results from model scale sloshing tests are applied to validate the sloshing simulations for the extension of diverse model scale sloshing simulations and full scale ones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
