Abstract
The demand for liquid carriers, such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), has increased in recent years. One of the most common types of LNG carriers is the membrane type, which is often built by a shipyard with a prismatic tank shape. This carrier is commonly known for its effective ways to mitigate sloshing using a baffle. Therefore, this study was performed to evaluate sloshing in a prismatic tank using vertical and T-shape baffles. The sloshing was conducted with 25% and 50% filling ratios because it deals with the nonlinear free-surface flow. Furthermore, the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) was used to overcome sloshing with ratio of a baffle and water depth is 0.9. A comparison was made for the dynamic pressure with the experiment. The results show that SPH has an acceptable accuracy for dynamic and hydrostatic pressures. Baffle installation significantly decreases the wave height, dynamic pressure and hydrodynamic force.
