Abstract

Sloshing is one of the most dominant effects in elevated water tanks, water storage tanks, and structures. An earthquake is a disruptive disturbance that causes shaking of the earth's surface due to movement along a fault plane or volcanic activity. The nature of the produced forces is reckless and only lasts a brief time. Sloshing thus involves a wide range of engineering difficulties, one of which is the dynamic response of lifeline liquid storage tanks in the event of an earthquake. Aerospace, civil, and nuclear engineers are all concerned about liquid sloshing in moving or stationary containers. DOSIWAM Sewage Treatment Plants serve to reduce negative environmental effect by enhancing effluent quality. The current study is the extension of the "environmental floor" concept, where installing the DOSIWAM system at intermittent levels of a multistoried building is carried out. The water coming out of this tank has very low BOD, so the water becomes suitable for reuse in gardening, irrigation, and firefighting operations. A novel approach was used, combining the CFD software and structural analysis software to check the sloshing effect. This is part of a research effort dedicated to developing a CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) methodology. The project's objective was to check the effect of the storage tank on the environmental floor. Thus, a storage tank and a water tank with an aspect ratio close to 1 can be safely provided. The difference in time period of the water tank and the structure was found to reduce the effect of sloshing. Hence, the Storage tank of the DOSIWAM system can be safely installed on the structure.
