Tóm tắt

A numerical scheme for the analysis of liquids sloshing in horizontal cylindrical rigid containers is presented. The governing equations of the liquid are transformed by three continuous coordinate transformations to avoid the use of interpolation of the boundary conditions on the curved walls and capturing of the free surface, as well as to gain convergence and computational stability of numerical computation. The efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated by numerical simulations using the finite difference method for two-dimensional circular containers and three-dimensional cylindrical containers. The method can be used to simulate the liquid sloshing under normal highway operating conditions when lateral accelerations are below the roll-over threshold. This approach can be extended to containers with walls of arbitrary shapes.
