Numerical Simulation of Sloshing in 2D Rectangular Tanks Based on the Prediction of Free Surface

A finite difference method for analyzing 2D nonlinear sloshing waves in a tank has been developed based on the potential flow theory. After σ-transformation, the free surface is predicted by the kinematic condition, and nonlinear terms are approximated; the governing equation and boundary conditions...
