Abstract
When liquid filled containers are excited vertically, it is known that, for some combinations of frequency and amplitude, the free surface undergoes unbounded motion leading to instability, called parametric instability or parametric resonance, while for other combinations the free surface remains plane. In this paper, the stability of the plane free surface is investigated theoretically when the vessel is a vertical axisymmetric container. The effect of coupled horizontal excitation on the stability is examined. The dynamics of sloshing flows under specified excitations are simulated numerically using fully nonlinear finite element method based on non-linear potential flow theory. A mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian technique combined with 4th-order Runge-Kutta method is employed to advance the solution in time. A regridding technique based on cubic spline is applied to the free surface for every finite time step to avoid possible numerical instabilities.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Advances in Acoustics and Vibration is to act as a platform for dissemination of innovative and original research and development work in the area of acoustics and vibration. The target audience of the journal comprises both researchers and practitioners. Articles with innovative works of theoretical and/or experimental nature with research and/or application focus can be considered for publication in the journal. Articles submitted for publication in Advances in Acoustics and Vibration must neither have been published previously nor be under consideration elsewhere. Subject areas include (but are not limited to): Active, semi-active, passive and combined active-passive noise and vibration control Acoustic signal processing Aero-acoustics and aviation noise Architectural acoustics Audio acoustics, mechanisms of human hearing, musical acoustics Community and environmental acoustics and vibration Computational acoustics, numerical techniques Condition monitoring, health diagnostics, vibration testing, non-destructive testing Human response to sound and vibration, Occupational noise exposure and control Industrial, machinery, transportation noise and vibration Low, mid, and high frequency noise and vibration Materials for noise and vibration control Measurement and actuation techniques, sensors, actuators Modal analysis, statistical energy analysis, wavelet analysis, inverse methods Non-linear acoustics and vibration Sound and vibration sources, source localisation, sound propagation Underwater and ship acoustics Vibro-acoustics and shock.
