Abstract

Sloshing refers to a certain kind of fluid movement that changes as it progresses. It possesses properties that are both nonlinear and exceedingly unpredictable, and these properties affect the tank wall. This effect may lead to structural wear, which in turn can cause the tank to fail. Benzene and gasoil liquids are used to test the effect of sloshing liquid and accompanying pressure on the wall tank caused by the baffles in partially full fluid tanks. To attain this, modeling of the interaction between fluid and structure is justified using the finite element analysis while the ANSYS Fluent is used to do the simulation. Specifically, the analysis enables us to anticipate the pressure that is being exerted on the shield, the influence of sloshing on the grounding point forces, and the size of the sloshing waves. The pressure distribution over time indicates a reduction of pressure on the tank wall as a result of utilising a vertical baffle if compared to the case of a tank wall without a baffle. The usage of vertical shields allows for around 20% of the greatest contact energy to be deflected, which is attributed to the potential of generating turbulence and vortices by the baffle.

矩形部分加注燃油油箱的数值模拟

晃动是指一种流体运动，随着运动的进行而发生变化。它具有非线性和极其不可预测的特性，这些特性会影响罐壁。这种影响可能会导致结构磨损，进而导致油箱失效。用苯和汽油液体测试了部分满液罐中挡板引起的晃动液体和伴随压力对壁箱的影响。为此，采用有限元分析方法对流体与结构的相互作用进行建模，并采用ANSYS Fluent软件进行仿真。具体来说，分析使我们能够预测施加在屏蔽上的压力，晃动对接地点力的影响，以及晃动波的大小。随着时间的推移，压力分布表明，与没有挡板的罐壁相比，由于使用垂直挡板，罐壁上的压力降低了。垂直护罩的使用允许最大接触能量的20%左右被偏转，这归因于挡板产生湍流和漩涡的潜力。
