Application of an improved semi-Lagrangian procedure to fully-nonlinear simulation of sloshing in non-wall-sided tanks
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0062-4548
Highlights An improved semi-Lagrangian procedure is introduced for updating fully-nonlinear free surface. The improved procedure removes ‘vertical-wall’ limitation of standard semi-Lagrangian procedure. Coupling with BEM, the improved procedure is applied to simulating fully-nonlinear sloshing waves in non-wall-sided tanks. Featured phenomena of 2D and 3D sloshing waves in wedged tanks are observed.
Abstract The semi-Lagrangian procedure is widely used for updating the fully-nonlinear free surface in the time domain. However, this procedure is only available to cases when the body surface is vertical near the waterline. Present study introduces an improved semi-Lagrangian procedure which removes this ‘vertical-wall’ limitation. Coupling with the boundary element method, the improved semi-Lagrangian procedure is applied to the simulation of fully-nonlinear sloshing waves in non-wall-sided tanks. From the result comparison with the open source CFD software OpenFOAM, it is confirmed that this numerical scheme could guarantee a sufficient accuracy. Further series studies on 2D and 3D fully-nonlinear sloshing waves in wedged tanks are performed. Featured phenomena are observed which are distinct from those in wall-sided tanks.
