Simulation of Partially Filled Liquid in A Moving Tank

Abstract

Numerical simulations have been carried out on a rectangular tank filled partially with liquid using volume of fluid technique. The tank has been given to and fro motion in one direction. Numerical simulation has been carried for a two dimensional case having laminar and unsteady flow. The changes in free surface displacement and dynamic pressure at different times has been observed using ANSYS software. The study was conducted for two sec. It was observed that free surface displacement of fluid increases with velocity. Also, with an increase in volume of liquid the sloshing effect decreases.
