“…It solves for conservation of mass, momentum and energy using continuity, momentum and energy equations respectively [15]. The sloshing basically deals with two immiscible fluids (water and air), it is solved using multiphase Volume of Fluid (VOF) model using ANSYS FLUENT TM to capture the interface of two fluids.…”

“…The volume of fl uid (VOF) method was also used to track the free surface of sloshing. The liquid sloshing behavior in 2-D rectangular tank was simulated consider to the multiple coupled external excitations imposed through the motions of the tank by using the dynamic mesh technique [11]. The effects of the inner tank sloshing play an important role in the motions of ship system.…”

“…The volume of fl uid (VOF) method was adopted to solve the sloshing problems, and the external excitation was imposed to the tank motion with the dynamic mesh technique. Some other studies also might be found in research [10,11]. The sloshing study was performed in the 2D-longitudinal Bilobe tank under the multiple coupled external excitations imposed at the same time with step procedures follow [7].…”

This paper described the sloshing simulation of the LNG (Liquid Natural Gas) tank due to the LNG ship's motion during operation at sea. The ship motions in irregular wave were obtained by 3D diffraction panel method in frequency domain. Coupled motions of surge, heave, and pitch due to the head sea of incoming wave were considered in the solving of longitudinal sloshing problem in certain range of wave frequency. The LNG sloshing on the Bilobe tank type was studied by using the Computational Fluid Dynamic technique with attention to obtain a maximum pressure that was occured on inner wall of the tank. Three cases of the LNG fi lling level including an empty (10%h), a half (50%h), and a full (90%h) conditions of tank height (h) were considered in order to investigate the free surface effect due to the LNG sloshing. The simulation results have shown that the maksimum pressure due to sloshing at inner wall have increased by 11.1%, 5.4%, and 11.5% while in the load conditions of full, a half, and an empty respectively. The maximum pressure that occurs did not exceed 6 percent based on the calculation of probability occurrence for all LNG fi lling level conditions.

“…Although no any details on computational approach were given it was claimed that both numerical and experimental results were in a good agreement. Hou et al [9] imposed external single and multiple excitations to the tank and analyzed the sloshing by CFD technique. It was revealed that the sloshing effects increased when the numbers of coupled excitations were added.…”

Abstract-In the present paper, sloshing in a Two-Dimensional (2D) square liquid tank subjected to horizontal excitation is investigated by means of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique. The tank with/out the vertical and horizontal baffles located at each side walls of the tank is moved on positive (+) x-axis for the excitation of 4.5 m 2 /s for each case study. After series of simulations results obtained for each tank configuration are compared and flow is visualized for the tanks that are 50% filled with the fresh water.
