Design of the Flexible Container for Control of Sloshing

Article Preview

Abstract:

The inherent flexibility of a liquid container is usually treated as a problem since achieving a perfectly rigid container is practical impossibility. On the other hand container flexibility may be used as design parameter in control of free surface oscillations. Intentional container flexibility has been employed in this research to suppress excessive levels of liquid sloshing. This paper outlines numerical predictions for simulation of liquid sloshing in a flexible container and its design alternatives while maintaining effective control.
