Abstract

A series of experimental studies were made on the frequency characteristics of gas-liquid surface sloshing induced by the vertical vibration of cylindrical containers containing liquid. The free surface oscillation and the surface disintegration liquid were observed. Measurements with emphasis on pressure responses were taken for water over the frequency of 20–1000 Hz. Bubble cluster formation in the liquid and container wall responses during the vibration were investigated. Experiments were performed on a vibration-testing system with an electrodynamic shaker. Three circular cylindrical containers were constructed of transparent acrylic plastic by inserting and cementing a thick acrylic base plate at one end so that bubbles generated in the liquid could be readily observed. It was found that the resonance frequency of the liquid-container vibration system depended on the excitation acceleration. The acceleration distribution of the container wall was not axisymmetrical at higher excitation accelerations. Drastic changes in liquid pressure, container wall acceleration, and amplitude of surface oscillation were observed following the formation of a bubble cluster. The results obtained should provide useful clues for future research and development of practical application of liquid sloshing phenomena.
