Model of Interaction of Water and Tank's Structure in Sloshing Phenomenon

ABSTRACT: The paper presents the model of interaction between ship's tank structure and water contained in the tank. The experimental investigation of sloshing loads in ships' tank is characterized and the need for description of mutual influence is underlined. The model of interaction is made up for rectangular ship's tanks and it is assumed to be in time-domain and nonlinear. The solution is based on the data obtained by the experimental research and numerical simulation. The study may be the contribution to more sophisticated estimation of ship's stability than it takes place nowadays.
