Численное моделирование динамики жидкости в баках транспортных средств в процессе движения

Abstract

Large amount of liquids are transported with the specific designed vehicles. Special tanks containing the liquids undergo some mechanical actions, which generate motion of fluid. Investigation of such motion is extremely actual for modern transport development and exploitation. An ideal potential fluid flow model is applied to describe the considered fluid motion. Boundary element method is used for numerical solution of the formulated problem. The correspondent software was developed by the authors. Several series of numerical calculation were made to determine free surface flow in the tank and mechanical influences of fluid motions on the construction in whole. The results of the present work can be useful in space-missile, sea transport and aviation.
