Wave impact on a rigid and flexible wall using various viscous fluids during sloshing

Abstract

This paper addresses a study of wave impacts on the chamfered shape of a structure during sloshing, using two different fluids through experimental analysis. Horizontal oscillations are carried out on the tank under various excitation frequencies at a fixed amplitude. Rigid and relatively flexible walls are considered for measuring pressure impact and structural deformation from the wave impacts. Various wave impulses are directed at the sidewall, and the structural deformations are discussed in detail. Wave impacts for various fluids are carried out, from which the pressure-time history, strain values, and free-surface deformation measurements are highlighted. Through the analysis, the breaking wave gets distorted by bottom chamfer at around the vertical portion of the wall. Therefore, physical results are changed likely to having with the wave strike the wall. The impact from more viscous fluids have also been found to reduce both the dynamic pressure and structural strain at practically the same rates in comparison with less viscous fluids.

Hydraulic Design of New Composite Polyurethane Oil Transfer Hose

“…If the HGL is a straight line, as in the case of steel pipelines [5] , the inlet pressure head Δh 1 of the first station will be transmitted equally to the last station during actual pipeline operation (solid line in Figure 3). This method offers the advantage of not requiring the determination of an available arrangement area, providing a relatively fast process, and ensuring balanced loads with equal inlet and outlet pressure heads at each pumping station [8] . However, when this method is used for hoselines, it cannot achieve equal transmission of inlet pressure heads at the first station.…”
