Exploitable results
The main objective of this project was to develop a fully integrated software for the numerical modelling of fluid/structure interaction, in terms of free surface motions and impact loads, validated through ad-hoc experiments and applied into innovative design guidelines and procedures. The EUROSLOSH project has produced significant scientific results, among which the most outstanding are:
An extensive analysis of the effects of different physical parameters on the sloshing phenomenon;
an investigation into scale effects;
a deep analysis of the fluid-structure interaction problem;
a significant progress in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applied to sloshing: several different algorithms and numerical techniques have been implemented and related pros and drawbacks tested on the field.
Considerable advances were made in the know-how on the equipment and on the techniques to be adopted in sloshing model testing; particular emphasis was put on impact pressure and peak detection for which ad-hoc high speed acquisition systems were developed. Analysis of the relevance of sloshing in different industrial areas was performed by means of the development of an experimental data base covering 4 different industrial areas (road transportation, civil engineering, ship and aeronautics).
