Fuel Tank Sloshing Simulation Using the Finite Volume Method [electronic resource] /
Jäger, Matthäus.author.
Matthäus Jäger examines the simulation of liquid-gas flow in fuel tank systems and its application to sloshing problems. The author focuses at first on the physical model and the assumptions necessary to derive the respective partial differential equations. The second step involves the cell-centered finite volume method and its application to fluid dynamic problems with free surfaces using a volume of fluid approach. Finally, the application of the method for different use cases is presented followed by an introduction to the methodology for the interpretation of the results achieved. Contents Developing a Fuel Tank with the Help of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) Deriving a System of Equations for the Description of Sloshing Phenomena Showing the Usability of the Finite Volume Method Verifying the Results for Suitable Test Cases Target Groups Lecturers and students from the fields of mechanical engineering, mathematics and physics Practitioners in the field of computational fluid dynamics The Author After successful completion of his master’s studies at the Technical University of Graz, Austria, Matthäus Jäger is now working as an engineer in the field of computational fluid dynamics for an Austrian fuel tank system manufacturer.
