Summary:
A numerical algorithm based on the Volume of Fluid technique, is used to study the impact loading of liquid sloshing in partially filled enclosed prismatic tanks subject to large amplitude excitation. A moving coordinate system fixed to the tank is introduced. Based on the Navier-Stokes equations, finite difference equations are solved. The entire flow configuration is advanced through a finite increment of time. In transporting the fluid through the mesh, an improved donor-acceptor method which takes into account surface orientation and transports trapezoidal shapes from cell to cell is used. The results obtained using the simple and improved schemes are compared. It is shown that a long time simulation can be achieved for both shallow and deep liquid sloshing.
