Sloshing, a fascinating phenomenon, occurs when liquid moves within partially filled tanks, facilitated by sufficient free surface area. This effect is notably observed in marine transportation operations, posing a significant challenge to crack growth of the tanks.
Excitingly, we’ve developed an impressive simulation in-house using #OpenFoam, shedding light on this complex phenomenon. And the CFD results was coupled with mechanical FEA to determine the dynamic stresses of the tank.
