Continuing along the path of previous papers in this series, the present paper addresses, experimentally, sloshing in a rectangular tank under harmonic angular forcing. Since lateral and roof impacts are relevant in sloshing assessment and present distinct dynamics, these have been studied. Water and oil have been used in order to obtain data for high and moderate Reynolds numbers. With the aim of addressing effects induced by the three-dimensionality of the flow, a study of the influence of the tank width on pressure statistics has also been conducted. For this purpose, a tank which can be adjusted to 4 different widths by replacing the side plates was built. For each combination of fluid, tank width and filling level, a total of 120 experiments, each comprising 120 peaks, have been conducted, allowing an analysis in time and ensemble domains to be performed.

Abstract

Continuing along the path of previous papers in this series, the present paper addresses, experimentally, sloshing in a rectangular tank under harmonic angular forcing. Since lateral and roof impacts are relevant in sloshing assessment and present distinct dynamics, these have been studied. Water and oil have been used in order to obtain data for high and moderate Reynolds numbers. With the aim of addressing effects induced by the three-dimensionality of the flow, a study of the influence of the tank width on pressure statistics has also been conducted. For this purpose, a tank which can be adjusted to 4 different widths by replacing the side plates was built. For each combination of fluid, tank width and filling level, a total of 120 experiments, each comprising 120 peaks, have been conducted, allowing an analysis in time and ensemble domains to be performed. Impact pressure statistics are presented including mean values, percentiles, and exceedance probability graphs.
