Sloshing describes the movement of liquids inside partially filled tanks and creates dynamic loads on the tank structure. In the evaluation
of the structural strength of the tank, the impact pressures resulting from agitation are of great importance. The fact that the determination
of these pressures is not easy poses a problem for the designers. In this study, the sloshing effect of horizontal movements in a square
tank was numerically investigated using the ANSYS-FLUENT analysis program, which is a Computational Fluid Dynamics application.
A square tank filled with 50% water has baffles at different angles (10̊, 20̊and 30̊) on the side walls and different numbers of baffles
(single and double) on the floor. The tank was moved with a velocity of 4.5 m/s2 in the negative x-axis between 0-2 seconds and in the
positive x-axis between 4-6 seconds. The VOF method was used to capture the fluid interface. Dynamic pressure measurements were
made from the points determined depending on each tank configuration and fluid interface movements were compared for each tank
configuration. The given data has been interpreted and written as a result.
