CFD Analysis for the Sloshing Phenomena of Spray Mixture Tank

Analysis and Reduction of the Sloshing Phenomena Due To Sudden Movement of Spray Mixture Tanker

“…Liu et al (2020) adopted this turbulence model in a study of fluid sloshing in a fuel storage tank, and maximum relative errors between the numerical and experimental results were less than 5.0%. Micheli et al (2015) showed satisfactory simulation results of mixture agitation comparing with experimental ones using this turbulence model with low computation efforts. So, within the framework of this model, the transport equations for k and its dissipation rate ε are:…”

“…4. In developing the concept of the proposed arrangements, the requirement to maintain a good agitation of the tank mixture without the need for additional agitator (mechanical or hydraulic) and achieve shear stress levels on the lower walls more than 0.3 Pa (Micheli et al 2015) was carefully observed. The velocity variation between the different flow layers promotes regions of greater or lesser shear stress.…”

“…The results showed that even a single layer of floating foams could reduce the sloshing forces due to energy dissipation, and the amplitude of dynamic pressure in the tank was also found to decrease as the number of foam layers increases. Micheli et al (2015) conclude that in the case of spray mixture tanks, the efficiency of the homogenization of the mixture inside the tank has a great impact on the quality of the application and the treatment of a crop and can be hampered by the introduction of anti-sloshing devices. On the other hand, Pukkella et al (2019) and Gu et al (2019) studied experimentally and numerically mixing in stirred tanks for the process industry.…”
