Solutions ➔ Flow ➔ Tank Sloshing

A tank sloshing simulation models the movement of fluid within a container, typically due to external forces like acceleration, deceleration, or vibrations. This phenomenon is relevant in applications such as transportation (in trucks or ships) where shifting fluid can affect stability and safety.

The simulation aims to capture fluid dynamics and behavior as the tank moves, allowing for the analysis of wave patterns, fluid pressure, and potential impacts on the tank structure. The Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method is an effective approach for simulating tank sloshing due to its particle-based Lagrangian nature, which is well-suited for capturing complex fluid dynamics and free surface interactions.
