Abstract

This paper presents a volume of fluid (VOF) method to solve sloshing problem in a rectangular tank. Navier-Stokes equations are solved by using an implicit time scheme finite volume method, an explicit time split scheme, which requires a small time step, is used for the volume fraction equation. In addition, our VOF method is able to preserve not only the volume but also remove the flotsam and jetsam problem.
