Numerical and Experimental Researches of 1:10 Tank Car Longitudinal Vibration with Fluid Sloshing

Abstract:

A 1:10 tank-car 2D fluid simulation model based on the computational fluid dynamics is established, and exchange the data with tank-car vibration model while simulating. In the paper, the 2 dimension fluid-structure coupling tank-car which owns two DOF is simulated, and the affect of fluid sloshing to tank-car longitudinal vibration is analyzed through the coupled vibration experiment. In the simulation and experiment, fluid sloshing increased the tanker longitudinal vibration acceleration amplitude and slowed response time is obtained through analyzing the difference between the different volume of fluid and the relevant solid without sloshing, and the difference of longitudinal vibration between full tank and non-full tank is significant.
