Conference Paper Description

The sloshing phenomena is a critical engineering problem encountered by designers in the oil and gas industry and causes damages to the tank walls. Thus, in this study, the effects of sloshing in a spherical tank with double-side curved baffle was investigate using numerical simulation. Two cases were considered in this simulation. A spherical tank without curved baffle was modelled in the first case, then, in the second case, a double-side curved baffle was introduced. The simulation was conducted considering three filling levels of 30%, 50%, and 75% using ANSYS CFX software. The outcome of the study shows that introducing double-side curved baffle has significantly reduced the sloshing force, the sloshing pressure, and the fluid velocity in the tank.
