[2O14] Evaluation of sloshing wave crest impact pressure acting on a fixed roof cylindrical tank
(1)Validation of numerical models and applicability of estimation methods of Slosh-induced impact pressure
Keywords:wave crest impact pressure, nonlinear sloshing, computational fluid dynamics, fixed-roof cylindrical tank
This report describes the applicability of open source code “OpenFOAM” on estimating of sloshing wave crest impact pressure acting on a fixed roof of cylindrical tank. Based on the computed results, slosh-induced pressure loads and distribution on the tank roof is presented. The computer code could simulate the observed waveform with sufficient accuracy.
