Sloshing in partially filled liquid tanks and its effect on ship motions: Numerical simulations and experimental verification.

Abstract

This paper describes a non-linear numerical solution of liquid cargo sloshing motions and pressures. It provides comparisons of computations against experimentally measured loads on a prismatic and on a rectangular tank. It also reports some initial computations of the coupled problem of sloshing and ship motions and compares these calculations with experiments on a products carrier ship model that incorporated partially filled tanks.
