Abstract

Liquid sloshing in the tank is simulated by numerical method in this thesis. The Volume of Fluid (VOF) method and the standard k-ε turbulent model, and the PISO algorithm is determined for the solution. The thesis investigates numerical simulation of different numbers of the baffles and the baffle location in circle cross-sectional tank with the FLUENT software. The results show that (1) In the circle cross-sectional tank, the effect of defending waves will be better with the increasing number of baffles. (2) The larger the baffle area below the liquid free surface, the better the effect of defending waves.
