Abstract
Hydrodynamic effects in liquid-shell systems may be characterized in terms of structural degrees of freedom alone if an ideal fluid is assumed. The hydrodynamic effects are modeled by means of a consistent (full) added mass matrix which is obtained via finite element methods. The procedure is demonstrated for the case of a nuclear reactor toroidal containment vessel partially filled with water. Results demonstrate the superiority of this method over diagonal added mass procedures, such as the tributary area method.
