Resonant three-dimensional nonlinear sloshing in a square-base basin is numerically analyzed to study swirling instability and the influence of viscosity. Four different fluids with increasing Reynolds number are tested in an oscillating tank. The study reveals a strong correlation between energy dissipation and instability, showing that water dissipates more energy during rotation compared to liquids with higher viscosity. The numerical solutions are provided using an enhanced version of the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) model called ������-LES-SPH, which is suitable for simulating violent free-surface flows.
Resonant three-dimensional nonlinear sloshing in a square-base basin is analysed numerically to investigate swirling instability. The aim of this research is based on understanding how viscosity influences this instability. Four different fluids at increasing Reynolds number were considered in a tank forced to oscillate in a horizontal motion. The present study investigates the tight relation between the energy dissipation and this instability, showing that water tends to dissipate more energy during its rotating motion than the other three liquids characterised by higher viscosity. This aspect is strictly linked to the occurrence of free-surface fragmentation and liquid impacts. The numerical solutions are provided using an enhanced version of the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) model called ������-LES-SPH model which proved to be suitable for the simulation of violent free-surface flows.
