Three-dimensional liquid sloshing in a tank with baffles 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Dongming Liu 《Ocean Engineering》2009,36(2):202-52
A numerical model has been developed to study three-dimensional (3D) liquid sloshing in a tank with baffles. The numerical model solves the spatially averaged Navier-Stokes equations, which are constructed on a non-inertial reference frame having six degree-of-freedom (DOF) of motions. The large-eddy-simulation (LES) approach is employed to model turbulence by using the Smagorinsky sub-grid scale (SGS) closure model. The two-step projection method is employed in the numerical solutions, aided by the Bi-CGSTAB technique to solve the pressure Poisson equation for the filtered pressure field. The second-order accurate volume-of-fluid (VOF) method is used to track the distorted and broken free surface. The baffles in the tank are modeled by the concept of virtual boundary force (VBF) method. The numerical model is first validated against the available analytical solution and experimental data for two-dimensional (2D) liquid sloshing in a tank without baffles. The 2D liquid sloshing in tanks with baffles is then investigated. The numerical results are compared with other results from available literatures. Good agreement is obtained. Finally, the model is used to study 3D liquid sloshing in a tank with vertical baffles. The effect of the baffle is investigated and discussed. 相似文献

Liquid sloshing in storage tank is a fundamental problem of great engineering importance. Sloshing motion can be laminar or turbulent. However, the necessity for inclusion of turbulence in CFD simulation of sloshing flows has not yet been established. In this paper, three roll–induced sloshing cases are studied to assess the merits and shortcomings of the laminar model and three most–commonly used turbulence models (RANS k–ε, LES and Very LES). To overcome the deficiencies in the RANS and LES, the new Very LES (VLES) model, which combines the RANS k–ε and LES, is developed in this paper. The free surface profiles are reconstructed by a coupled Level–Set and Volume–of–Fluid (CLSVOF) method. To the authors’ knowledge, the comprehensive and systematical assessment of the effect of turbulence on sloshing simulation has not been reported in the literature. The numerical results are evaluated using experimental measurements from Delorme and Souto−Iglesias. The present study indicates that the inclusion of an appropriate turbulence model has a profound influence on the simulations of violent and non–violent sloshing flows. The VLES and LES models can provide accurate predictions of free surface profiles and impact pressures, whereas the laminar flow assumption and the RANS model cannot adequately capture the energy dissipation in the sloshing simulation and lead to the inaccurate flow predictions. 相似文献

The concept of live fish tanks in trawlers is to use the catch in a better condition and to reduce marine pollution. It also reduces the infrastructure meant to freeze the catch to preserve it for longer period. But the presence of additional free surface in the vessel challenges the stability of the vessel. This is besides the sloshing effect due to the moving liquid mass in the tank. Roll motions are initiated due to various factors related to the hull characteristics of the vessel, loading and operating conditions and its interaction with the environment. Location of fish tank, its orientation, arrangement of baffles inside the tank to reduce the free surface affects and careful design of tank opening are to be given priority during the design, manufacturing and tank testing. The results obtained from tank test of model are compared with that of analytical method. The non-linear roll performance become further complicated due to the free surface and sloshing effects of the mass in the live fish tank. Wave makers are used for generating waves under laboratory conditions compatible with the scaled down model of the trawler model. The tests are conducted in the towing tank of Pusan National University. 相似文献

A coupled numerical model considering nonlinear sloshing flows and the linear ship motions has been developed based on a boundary element method. Hydrodynamic performances of a tank containing internal fluid under regular wave excitations in sway are investigated by the present time-domain simulation model and comparative model tests. The numerical model features well the hydrodynamic performance of a tank and its internal sloshing flows obtained from the experiments. In particular, the numerical simulations of the strong nonlinear sloshing flows at the natural frequency have been validated. The influence of the excitation wave height and wave frequency on ship motions and internal sloshing has been investigated. The magnitude of the internal sloshing increases nonlinearly as the wave excitation increases. It is observed that the asymmetry of the internal sloshing relative to still water surface becomes more pronounced at higher wave excitation. The internal sloshing-induced wave elevation is found to be amplitude-modulated. The frequency of the amplitude modulation envelope is determined by the difference between the incident wave frequency and the natural frequency of the internal sloshing. Furthermore, the coupling mechanism between ship motions and internal sloshing is discussed. 相似文献

A nonlinear sloshing problem is numerically simulated. During excessive sloshing, the sloshing-induced impact load can cause a critical damage on the tank structure. Recently the problem becomes an important research topic in LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) Tanker and FPSO (Floating Production Storage Offloading) design. In this study, the wave impact load on the structure is obtained numerically by imposing the exact nonlinear free surface conditions and compared with that predicted by Morison's formula. As a theoretical model, a three-dimensional free surface flow in a tank is formulated in the scope of potential flow theory with the exact nonlinear free-surface conditions. A finite-element method based on Hamilton's principle is employed as a numerical method. The problem is treated as an initial-value problem. The nonlinear problem is numerically solved through an iterative scheme at each time step. 相似文献

Liquid sloshing is a common phenomenon in the liquid tanks transportation. Liquid waves lead to fluctuating forces on the tank wall. Uncontrolled fluctuations lead to large forces and momentums. Baffles can control these fluctuations. A numerical method, which has been widely used to model this phenomenon, is Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics(SPH). The Lagrangian nature of this method makes it suitable for simulating free surface flows. In the present study, an accurate Incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics(ISPH) method is developed and improved using the kernel gradient correction tensors, particle shifting algorithms, k–ε turbulence model, and free surface particle detectors. Comparisons with the experimental data approve the ability of the present algorithm for simulating shallow water sloshing. The main aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the vertical baffle on the damping of liquid sloshing. Results show that baffles number has a major role in sloshing fluctuation damping. 相似文献

Numerical simulation of sloshing with large deforming free surface by MPS-LES method 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method is a fully Lagrangian particle method which can easily solve problems with violent free surface. Although it has demonstrated its advantage in ocean engineering applications, it still has some defects to be improved. In this paper, MPS method is extended to the large eddy simulation (LES) by coupling with a sub-particle-scale (SPS) turbulence model. The SPS turbulence model turns into the Reynolds stress terms in the filtered momentum equation, and the Smagorinsky model is introduced to describe the Reynolds stress terms. Although MPS method has the advantage in the simulation of the free surface flow, a lot of non-free surface particles are treated as free surface particles in the original MPS model. In this paper, we use a new free surface tracing method and the key point is "neighbor particle". In this new method, the zone around each particle is divided into eight parts, and the particle will be treated as a free surface particle as long as there are no "neighbor particles" in any two parts of the zone. As the number density parameter judging method has a high efficiency for the free surface particles tracing, we combine it with the neighbor detected method. First, we select out the particles which may be mistreated with high probabilities by using the number density parameter judging method. And then we deal with these particles with the neighbor detected method. By doing this, the new mixed free surface tracing method can reduce the mistreatment problem efficiently. The serious pressure fluctuation is an obvious defect in MPS method, and therefore an area-time average technique is used in this paper to remove the pressure fluctuation with a quite good result. With these improvements, the modified MPS-LES method is applied to simulate liquid sloshing problems with large deforming free surface. Results show that the modified MPS-LES method can simulate the large deforming free surface easily. It can not only capture the large impact pressure accurately on rolling tank wall but also can generate all physical phenomena successfully. The good agreement between numerical and experimental results proves that the modified MPS-LES method is a good CFD methodology in free surface flow simulations. 相似文献

A time-independent finite-difference method and a fifth-order Runge–Kutta–Felhberg scheme were used to analyze the dynamic responses of sea-wave-induced fully non-linear sloshing fluid in a floating tank. The interaction effect between the fully non-linear sloshing fluid and the floating tank associated with coupled surge, heave and pitch motions of the tank are analyzed for the first time in the present pilot study. For the analysis of fluid motion in the tank, the coordinate system is moving (translating and rotating) with tank motion. The time-dependent water surface of the sloshing fluid is transformed to a horizontal plane and the flow field is mapped on to a rectangular region. The Euler equations as well as the fully non-linear kinematic free surface condition were used in the analysis of the sloshing fluid. The strip theory for linearized harmonic sea-wave loading was adopted to evaluate the regular encounter wave force. In addition, the dynamic coefficients used in the dynamic equations of tank motion were also derived based on strip theory and a harmonic motion of the tank. The characteristics of free and forced tank motions with and without the sloshing effect are studied. By the damping effect, the response of free oscillation will damp out and that of forced oscillation will approach a steady state. Without sea-wave action, the contribution of the sloshing load would enlarge the angular response of tank motion as well as the rise of free surface and the sloshing effect will delay the damping effect on angular displacement. On the contrary, under sea-wave action, the sloshing effect will decrease the dynamic response of tank motion and rise of free surface. The interaction, sloshing and coupling effects are found to be significant and should be considered in the analysis and design of floating tanks. 相似文献

We investigated the use of numerical methods to predict liquid sloshing phenomena in a moving tank and compared our results to model test measurements. The numerical techniques for the free surface, based on the so-called finite Volume-of-Fluid (VoF) approach, comprised an incompressible VoF method, an incompressible coupled Level-Set and Volume-of-Fluid (clsVoF) method, and a compressible VoF method. We assessed the capability of these three numerical methods to achieve suitable numerical predictions of sloshing phenomena, specifically, air pockets and bubbles on the free surface inside a test tank. To observe the described sloshing phenomena, we simulated tank motions leading to well defined single impact wave motions. We performed repeated physical tests for validation purposes. Computed velocity and pressure time histories were compared to experimental data we obtained from Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and pressure sensor measurement. Grid sensitivity and turbulence model studies were performed. We demonstrated that the compressible VoF method was the most suitable method to obtain accurate predictions of sloshing phenomena. 相似文献

In this work, sloshing flows were successfully simulated by using a coupled numerical scheme between smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and smoothed point interpolation method (S-PIM) (SPH-SPIM coupled method). SPH is a Lagrangian particle method to solve flow fields while S-PIM is developed to deal with the structure dynamics. A coupling scheme is proposed, the key of which is that the fluid and solid fields are not necessary to be discretized by the same resolution. The stability, accuracy, convergence and conservation of the SPH-SPIM coupled method were validated by the case of hydrostatic water column on an elastic plate. Then, a wave impact problem was simulated to verify that the present SPH method worked well for sloshing flows. Finally, two sloshing problems with an elastic baffle were simulated, which validated the accuracy and stability of the method in predicting the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) features during the process of sloshing. It has been found that both the shape of the free surface and the large deformation of the elastic baffle can be well captured by the present method, which shows the potential of the present method to be a good candidate for simulating sloshing problems. 相似文献

This paper aims to investigate the effects of the porous baffles on the suppression of sloshing for the tanks with axisymmetric geometries under lateral excitation. Based on the assumptions of inviscid, irrotational, incompressible liquid and small amplitude sloshing, an axisymmetric boundary element method (BEM) for 3D Laplace equation is derived by using the Green's theorem together with the weighted residual method. And a zoning method is employed to model fluid domain in the tanks with complex porous baffles. Meanwhile, the porous baffles are treated motioning together with the tanks, and the velocity across the porous baffle is assumed to be linearly proportional to the pressure gradient between each side of the porous baffle. And the mechanism of suppressing the sloshing response is mainly the energy dissipation of the fluid passing through the porous baffle. Moreover, the linear free surface boundary conditions are also used to solve the governing equations. Compared with other numerical methods, the most prominent advantage of the BEM in solving axisymmetric potential problem is that only the boundaries of half the cross-section instead of the entire problem domain should be discretized, which can cut down large amount of memory and time costs. The present method is verified by comparing the numerical results with the existing literatures, and excellent agreements are obtained. Meanwhile, the proposed models are applied to investigate the effects of the porous baffles on sloshing response in circular cylindrical, annular cylindrical and conical tanks. The effects of the porous baffle length, porous-effect parameter, installation angle and baffle height on the sloshing force, natural frequency and surface elevation are studied. Additionally, some typical sloshing pressure distributions, velocity potential contours and velocity fields are plotted. The results show that swirls at the tips of the baffles can be observed in many cases, and the top-mounted porous baffle makes more significant suppression effects on sloshing response than that of bottom-mounted porous baffle, while increasing the number of ring porous baffles can achieve better restraint effects on sloshing response. And increasing the baffle length of the horizontal wall-mounted ring porous baffle can significantly decrease the sloshing frequencies, as well as the first non-dimensional natural frequency decreases with decrease in porous-effect parameter of the coaxial porous baffle. In addition, remarkable effects on sloshing can be obtained when reasonable designed by selecting the optimal porous-effect parameter, installation angle and baffle height. And this paper can be a useful guide for the seismic design and analysis of many actual liquid storage tanks (such as the Advanced Passive PWR, large water cooling tower, etc.). 相似文献

Large Eddy Simulation for Plunge Breaker and Sediment Suspension 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1
Breaking waves are a powerful agent for generating turbulence that plays an important role in many fluid dynamical processes, particularly in the mixing of materials. Breaking waves can dislodge sediment and throw it into suspension, which will then be carried by wave-induced steady current and tidal flow. In order to investigate sediment suspension by breaking waves, a numerical model based on large-eddy-simulation (LES) is developed. This numerical model can be used to simulate wave breaking and sediment suspension. The model consists of a free-surface model using the surface marker method combined with a two-dimensional model that solves the flow equations. The turbulence and the turbulent diffusion are described by a large-eddy-simulation (LES) method where the large turbulence features are simulated by solving the flow equations, and a subgrid model represents the small-scale turbulence that is not resolved by the flow model. A dynamic eddy viscosity subgrid scale stress model has been used for the 相似文献

Simulation of Fully Nonlinear 3-D Numerical Wave Tank 总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6
A fully nonlinear numerical wave tank (NWT) has been simulated by use of a three-dimensional higher order bouodary element method (HOBEM) in the time domain. Within the frame of potential flow and the adoption of simply Rankine source, the resulting boundary integral equation is repeatedly solved at each time step and the fully nonlinear free surface boundary conditions are integrated with time to update its position and boundary values. A smooth technique is also adopted in order to eliminate the possible saw-tooth numerical instabilities. The incident wave at the uptank is given as theoretical wave in this paper. The outgoing waves are absorbed inside a damping zone by spatially varying artificial damping on the free surface at the wave tank end. The numerical results show that the NWT developed by these approaches has a high accuracy and good numerical stability. 相似文献
