Abstract

It is very important to understand and control the sloshing in a liquid container that is partially filled with liquid. Previous studies focused primarily on the sloshing and resonance caused by sinusoidal excitations, while the present study focuses on understanding and suppressing sloshing in a container that moves rapidly from a given point to another in industrial applications. To achieve this, we first numerically predict the two-phase flow induced by the horizontal movement of a rectangular container. Then we analyze the effects of container-velocity profile (in particular acceleration/deceleration duration) on sloshing. Results show that sloshing is significantly suppressed when the acceleration/deceleration duration is a multiple of the 1st-mode natural period of sloshing.

액체가 부분적으로 채워져 있는 용기에서 발생하는 슬로싱 현상을 이해하고 이를 효과적으로 제어하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 선행 연구들이 대부분 사인파형(sinusoidal) 가진에 의한 슬로싱 및 공진 현상에 관심을 가진 반면, 본 연구에서는 산업 현장에서 액체 용기를 빠르게 이송시킬 때 발생하는 슬로싱을 이해하고 억제하고자 하였다. 즉, 사각 용기를 수평방향으로 빠르게 이송시킬 때 발생하는 2상 유동을 수치해석으로 구한 후, 용기의 속도 프로파일(특히 가속 및 감속 시간)이 슬로싱에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과 용기의 가감속 시간이 1차 모드 고유주기의 정수배가 될 때 슬로싱이 상당히 억제되는 것을 관찰하였고, 이는 슬로싱 억제 방안으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
