Abstract
Suppression of liquid sloshing in moving tanks is essential in many engineering applications. The sloshing can be successfully suppressed by installing baffles inside the tank or applying a control theory called ‘input shaping’ to the tank velocity profile. This study aims to numerically investigate the combined effect of horizontal baffles and input shaping on sloshing in a horizontally moving tank. Numerical simulations are carried out for the two-phase flow of water and air using a volume-of-fluid(VOF) model. Results show that the damping effect of baffles strongly depends on the baffle height but input shaping provides additional control capability for all the baffle heights considered.
