Abstract

Abstract

Aimed at the problem of lateral liquid sloshing in tank trucks partially filled with liquid, based on the multiphase flow model and the VOF method, the liquid sloshing dynamics was simulated for tank trucks in the cases of highspeed turning or emergency avoidance. The effects of the number of baffle plates, baffle configuration, liquid filling ratio and lateral acceleration on the dynamic characteristics of liquid sloshing were studied. The numerical results show that the longitudinal baffle plates reduce the lateral liquid impact force on the tank wall significantly and the largerarea baffle plates achieve the better reduction effect. The lateral sloshing falls quickly with the liquid filling ratio, while the liquid sloshing increases and the truck lateral stability goes down with the lateral acceleration.
