Experimental and Numerical Studies on Frequency and Damping of Liquid Oscillation in a Storage Tank

Liquid tanks are frequently used in industrial applications. The liquid free surfaces oscillate when they are subjected to impulses. An experiment was set up to measure the frequency and damping rate of the free surface oscillations caused by different impulses. In addition, a full scale study was numerically performed, using volume of fluid (VOF) method to investigate the details of the flow field. The impulses were applied via initial velocity...
