Abstract
Numerical simulations of EPRI/CRIEPI sloshing experiments have been performed by Argonne National Laboratory using the ANL-developed FLUSTR computer code. The number of meshes used in the mathematical model for numerical simulation is rather small. Thus, the computing cost is relatively inexpensive. Results of numerical simulations of the sloshing responses of two test configurations (1 and 2) which were performed by CRIEPI are described in detail. Natural frequencies and sloshing wave heights and fluid pressures at locations of sensors are calculated. The predicted values are compared with the experimental data. In all comparisons, the agreement is very good. Thus, these computer codes can be used for numerical simulation of seismic sloshing.
