“…Baffle parameters (such as shape, location, spacing, etc) significantly influence the dynamic characteristics of the fluid-structure interaction problem, and a number of investigations has centred around baffle effects. Cho et al [43] employed the structural-acoustic FEM formulation to investigate the free vibration response of storage tanks with horizontal annular baffles. They carried out a comprehensive parametric study of the influence of baffle number, baffle location, baffle inner-hole diameter, liquid level, etc, on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of cylindrical tanks.…”
