Liquid Sloshing Dynamics
Liquid Sloshing Dynamics
£158.00
GBPThe problem of liquid sloshing in moving or stationary containers remains of great concern to aerospace, civil, and nuclear engineers; physicists; designers of road tankers and ship tankers; and mathematicians. Beginning with the fundamentals of liquid sloshing theory, this book takes the reader systematically from basic theory to advanced analytical and experimental results in a self-contained and coherent format. The book is divided into four sections. Part I deals with the theory of linear liquid sloshing dynamics; Part II addresses the nonlinear theory of liquid sloshing dynamics, Faraday waves, and sloshing impacts; Part III presents the problem of linear and nonlinear interaction of liquid sloshing dynamics with elastic containers and supported structures; and Part IV considers the fluid dynamics in spinning containers and microgravity sloshing. This book will be invaluable to researchers and graduate students in mechanical and aeronautical engineering, designers of liquid containers, and applied mathematicians.
- Deals with almost every aspect of liquid sloshing dynamics
- Presents liquid sloshing effects on space vehicles, storage tanks, road vehicle tanks and ships and elevated water towers under ground motion
- Cites over 2,600 references

'This book will be invaluable to researchers and graduate students in mechanical and aeronautical engineering, designers of liquid containers and applied mathematicians. Engineering Designer
'…a remarkable and comprehensive contribution to sloshing dynamics… The reviewer highly recommends this book for graduates and Ph. D students in this field, as well as researchers and engineers in various industries that use storage tanks, because it contains not only original aspects but also acts as a tutorial through its discussions of how analytical results compare with measurements. It represents an important addition to the fluid-structure interaction bookshelf.' Journal of Sound and Vibration
