文摘This paper proposes a new approximation to energy dissipation in time domain simulation of sloshing waves by use of a linear potential theory. The boundary value problem is solved by the NURBS (non-uniform rational B-spline) higher-order panel method, in which a time-domain Green function is employed. The energy dissipation is modeled by changing the boundary condition on solid boundaries. Model experiments are carried out in a partially filled rectangular tank with forced horizontal motion. Sloshing-induced internal pressures and horizontal force obtained numerically and experimentally are compared with each other. It is observed that the present energy dissipation approximation can help produce a fair agreement between experimental forces and those of numerical simulations.
