Abstract: | The interaction between the liquid sloshing in a rectangular tank equipped inside the barge and the barge responses has been investigated through a comprehensive experimental program. The barge was subjected to both regular and random wave excitations under beam sea condition. Three relative fill levels (hs/l) with liquid fill depth (hs) to length of tank (l) ratio of 0.163, 0.325 and 0.488 were considered. In addition, the barge responses of equivalent dry weight condition corresponding to each fill level were measured to understand the influence of sloshing. While the excitation wave frequency equals to first mode natural sloshing frequency, a noticeable decrease in the sway response has been observed. However, the effect of sloshing oscillation on the heave response is insignificant. A split up of roll resonance was observed for the aspect ratio of 0.163 due to the coupling effect of roll motion and sloshing. |
