Abstract: The goal of current study is to numerically investigate the dynamic response characteristics of cylindrical baffled liquid storage tank, which is subjected to a vertical acceleration at boosting, with respect to the number of baffles. Both the storage tank and baffles are modeled as flexible elastic structures, and the suppression of sloshing-induced dynamic responses by baffles are evaluated in terms of the hydrodynamic pressure, the dynamic displacement and stress. Through the numerical experiments, it has been observed that the introduction of baffles to the partially filled liquid tank remarkably decreases the maximum values of displacement and effective stress at both the bottom plate and baffles. And, the variation of displacement and effective stress is stabilized much faster when baffles are installed and the baffle number increases. Thus, it has been verified that the baffled liquid storage tank can be stably and safely applied to the liquid fuel storage tank for various transport vehicles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
