Abstract

This work presents the numerical analysis and experimental validation of vertical sloshing in rectangular tanks, where the evolution of the free surface is studied. The temporal behavior of numerical and experimental wave heights is compared. The numerical analysis uses the Particle and Finite Element Method (PFEM). The experimental data are collected using an adapted shake table that controls vertical movement and high-speed cameras located on two sides of the tank to register the free surface evolution.
