Flow Field Analysis and Simulation of Tank Cars Based on Secondary Development of FLUENT

Article Preview

Abstract:

The sloshing fluid inside the tank car which is moving influences importantly on the working of the tank car. The user-defined function second development of the software FLUENT was adopted. The force variation of the tank on the front wall under different working conditions was calculated and the reasons of this variation and the influence on the tank were both analyzed. Little influence on the tank by the sloshing fluid was obtained without energy source. When the tank slowed down, the force peak value remained within the first period of the fluid sloshing, which provided the selection of the tank at the accelerating moment with the foundation.
