Liquid sloshing in a moving container creates a broad class of problems of great practical importance with regard to the safety of transportation systems, including tank trucks on highways, liquid tank cars on railroads, and liquid cargo in oceangoing vessels. It is speculated that the reason vehicles carrying liquid have higher accident rates than other vehicles is partially attributable to the large movement of the contained liquid cargo with attendant forces and moments a developed. Since the amplitude of tank excitation is frequently large, the liquid sloshing in a tank is essentially a nonlinear phenomenon. A numerical algorithm, based on the volume of fluid technique, is used to study the nonlinear behavior of liquid sloshing in partially filled enclosed prismatic baffled tanks subjected to large amplitude longitudinal acceleration. A parametric study was carried out which demonstrated that significant reduction of transient slosh load by a proper baffle arrangement can be achieved.
