“…1 in [1]), the liquid sloshing dynamics in vertical cylindrical tanks have been in focus for analytical, experimental, and numerical studies starting from the 50s. The earlier studies are outlined in [2][3][4][5][6], reviews of recent analytical and experimental results can be found in [5][6][7][8][9], and the CFD methods are described in [10] and [1, chap. 10].…”

The nonlinear Narimanov-Moiseev multimodal equations are used to study the swirling-type resonant sloshing in a circular base container occurring due to an orbital (rotary) tank motion in the horizontal plane with the forcing frequency close to the lowest natural sloshing frequency. An asymptotic steady-state solution is constructed and the response amplitude curves are analyzed to prove their hard-spring type behavior for the finite liquid depth (the mean liquid depth-to-the-radius ratio ℎ > 1). This behavior type is supported by the existing experimental data. The wave elevations at the vertical wall are satisfactorily predicted except for a frequency range where the model test observations reported wave breaking and/or mean rotational flows.

“…It automatically splits the fluid volume of the tank, in Figure 7, into two phase a o and w o where a o is the air and w o is the water. Equations (11) and (12), therefore, define the percentage of filling of the tank. In this research, three levels of filling the tank have been studies (called Test 1, 2 and 3) better described in the next section (Section 5).…”

Abstract:The sloshing of fuel inside the tank is an important issue in aerospace and automotive applications. This phenomenon, in fact, can cause various issues related to vehicle stability and safety, to component fatigue, audible noise, vibrations and to the level measurement of the fuel itself. The sloshing phenomenon can be defined as a highly nonlinear oscillatory movement of the free-surface of liquid inside a container, such as a fuel tank, under the effect of continuous or instantaneous forces. This paper is the result of a research collaboration between the Industrial Engineering Department of the University of Naples "Federico II" and the R&D department of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (F.C.A.) The activity is focused on the study of the sloshing in the fuel tank of vehicles. The goal is the optimization of the tank geometry in order to allow, for example, the correct fuel suction under all driving conditions and to prevent undesired noise and vibrations. This paper shows results obtained on a reference tank filled by water tinted with a dark blue food colorant. The geometry has been tested on a test bench designed by Moog Inc. on specification from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles with harmonic excitation of a 2D tank slice along one degree of freedom. The test bench consists of a hexapod with six independent actuators connecting the base to the top platform, allowing all six Degrees of Freedom (DOFs). On the top platform there are other two additional actuators to extend pitch and roll envelope, thus the name of "8-DOF bench". The designed tank has been studied with a three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling approach, too. By the end, the numerical and experimental data have been compared with a post-processing analysis by means of Matlab ® software. For this reason, the images have been reduced in two dimensions. In particular, the percentage gaps of the free surfaces and the center of gravity have been compared each other. The comparison, for the three different levels of liquid tested, has shown a good agreement with a discrepancy always less than 3%.

“…Some focused on the contact angle of a droplet on a solid surface [16,17], studying the surface tension related with the multiphase flow [18,19]. Rebouillat et al [20] and Idelsohn et al [21] calculated the sloshing of a liquid filled partially in a container as problems of solid and fluid interaction. They used the Finite Element Method (FEM) to solve the flow with free surface with large deformation and many droplets.…”

Background: The water splash patterns strongly depend on the surface conditions of the solid object. The present paper discusses the influence of the surface conditions of the solids falling into the water on the formation of the splashes, employing the experimental method with the high speed video camera and the numerical approach by the particle method. Methods: We propose two engineering models for calculating the Navier-Stokes flows to distinguish the different surface conditions of the solids falling into the water. One is to add the attractive or repulsive force between the water and the surfaces of the solids, and the other is to consider the swelling ratio as the slip condition, which causes the different wall shear stresses at the interfaces between the solids and the water. Results: The above models are successfully employed to study the effects of the differences of the surface conditions of the falling objects on the splash formations. Conclusions: We have successfully calculated the splashes caused by the different surface conditions of spheres using the MPS method.
