“…Nowadays, studies on fluid-structure interaction models are used not only for investigating the sloshing behavior but also for modeling events such as sink vortexes or abrasive flow finishing processes [21][22][23] Liu et al [24] investigated sloshing hydrodynamics in a cryogenic fuel storage tank under different order natural frequencies. Liu et al [11] developed a numerical model to research the effect of heat input on fluid sloshing in a liquid oxygen tank.…”

Partially filled liquid-carrying tanks have been used in many engineering applications, such as ships, vehicle fuel tanks, rockets, and drink or petroleum tankers. Liquid sloshing is an exciting phenomenon that researchers are investigating because of its complex behavior specifications. In this study, the sloshing responses of a prismatic tank with the approximate volume of an automobile fuel tank under different laterally harmonic excitation amplitudes, baffle structures, filling rates, and different types of liquid were investigated numerically. The computational fluid dynamics method (CFD) was used to solve fluid dynamics equations, and the volume of fluid method was applied to simulate two-phase flow in the tank. A validation study was performed by a literature study. Later, the effect of large and small excitation amplitudes, filling rates and fluid types on sloshing behavior were investigated and comparatively analyzed in the tank system with various baffle types.

“…Sloshing in a rectangular tank with an elastic baffle was conducted using open-source SPH solver SPHinXsys [9], and a similar study was carried out with DualSPHysics for a rectangular tank [10,11]. Moreover, mesh based CFD solver for cryogenic fuel storage tank under external sloshing excitation performed with VOF method coupled with the mesh motion treatment [12][13][14]. CFD mesh based was widely used not only for sloshing, for example medicine, industrial and Marine engineering [15][16][17][18].…”

Sloshing is the violent motion of a resonant fluid in a moving tank; when the fluid moves and interacts with the tank, the dynamic pressure from such an interaction can cause large fluid deformations with tank walls. In this study, a 3D numerical simulation of sloshing was carried out with five variations of the tank model, i.e., prismatic, rectangular, tube, spherical, and the new model tank with a filling ratio of 25% and 50%. Forced oscillation motion in a roll used frequencies 1.04 Hz and 1.34 Hz. The amplitude of movement was 8.66°. One pressure sensor was used to measure dynamic pressure in the mid of the tank. Because sloshing deals with large deformation and discontinuities, the particle method was suitable for the application. This study used smoothed particle hydrodynamics based on weakly compressible SPH (WCSPH). SPH is a Lagrangian meshless method known as mesh-free computational fluid dynamics. Open-source SPH solver version 5.0 was used to reproduce sloshing in different tank shapes; in addition, advanced visualization was performed using the VisualSPHysics add-on in Blender version 2.92. The sloshing visualization is more realistic and attractive than conventional SPH post-processing. The results of this study indicate that different tank shapes influence reducing the value of dynamic pressure and hydrodynamic force. It is found that a practical tank shape is a tube tank and a new model tank with a reduced dynamic pressure value of 9% and 11% and a reduced hydrodynamic force value of 36% and 48%.

“…As for the tank pressurization, thermal stratification, and fluid sloshing in cryogenic fuel storage tanks, [6][7][8][9] researchers have conducted extensive investigations on theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and experiment test, in the last decade. Das et al 10 used water as test medium and experimentally researched fluid thermal stratification phenomenon in a cylinder water vessel.…”

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is becoming a potential power fuel in ocean transport and will be widely utilized in the near future. However, severe thermodynamic imbalance issues, caused by environmental heat leakage and external sloshing disturbances, must to be efficiently addressed to improve the operation reliability and safety storage of LNG fuel tanks. In this paper, a comprehensive theoretical model is developed to investigate the thermal response in a type C LNG storage tank, with consideration of composition migration, heat penetration, liquid evaporation, fluid sloshing, and vapor pressure rise. The prediction accuracy of the theoretical model is validated by comparing with selected tank pressurization experiments, with deviation limited within 5.0%. Based on the theoretical model, the aging process of LNG is first involved. The variations of composition migration in vapor and liquid regions are specially considered and discussed. During static pressurization, the thermal physical performance, including tank pressure rise, vapor temperature change, and boil‐off gas (BOG) generation, is detailedly researched under heat penetration. Finally, the effect of external sloshing excitation on thermal behavior in LNG fuel tanks is explored. Compared to static pressurization, external sloshing excitation causes obvious influences on thermodynamic performance of LNG tanks, including promotion on tank pressure and enhancement of heat and mass transfer. With some valuable conclusions achieved, this work is significant to comprehensive understanding on the thermal response of LNG storage tanks under different operation conditions.
