    Sloshing in A Tank Modelled Using SPH As An Example in Abaqus

    Uploaded by

    PravinkumarGhodake
    This tutorial provides instructions for modeling sloshing in a fluid-filled tank using SPH in Abaqus. It describes importing a block and cube geometry to represent water and an aluminum tank, applying appropriate materials and sections, creating dynamic explicit steps with gravity loading, meshing with SPH elements for the water, and analyzing the results to view water particle movement over time. The goal is to demonstrate the basic modeling of fluid behavior and forces in a typical storage tank scenario.

    Tutorial 23:

    Sloshing in a tank modelled using


    SPH as an example
    5DPLQ5LDKL

    This tutorial gives a basic introduction to SPH modelling in Abaqus CAE. The
    tutorial will take you through a basic model of g forces acting on a fluid in a typical
    tank. Prior knowledge of Abaqus is assumed, if there is concern about some
    steps more information is given in previous tutorials.

    1. Geometry Import & part instancing
    Import the part Geometry, tutorial23.step, selecting the default for ‘create part’

    This contains a block and cube made up six faces, rename the block to
    something related to fluid; it will represent water in this example. The next step is
    to combine the faces into a new part to form a box.
    First instance the parts in the assembly module, and then once the parts are
    instanced select the merge/cut from the instance drop down menu

    Then using the default settings, renaming if desired, continue with the merging.

    Select all six faces individually and merge the parts

    2. Material and section properties


    Go to the property module and create the following materials
    Water:
    Mechanical properties:
    - Eos: type = Us – Up, c0 = 1483, s = 0, Gamma0 = 0
    - Dynamic viscosity = 0.001
    General properties:
    - Density = 1000

    Aluminium:
    Mechanical properties:
    - Elasticity-Elastic: Young’s Modulus = 70e9, Poisson’s ratio = 0.3
    General properties:
    - Density = 2500

    Then create a default solid homogeneous section for water and assign the
    section to the block. Then for the aluminium selection, select the ‘shell’ option
    with width of 0.002m and highlight the box

    Note: When it comes to assigning sections ignore the 2D squares that merged
    into the box as they are no longer counted as part of the assembly.

    3. Creating the steps


    Go to the step module and create two new steps, for all steps in the model use
    the step option of ‘dynamic, explicit’

    For the first step make the time period 0.5 seconds and 1 for the second step

    4. Contacts
    In the interaction module create a default all with self interaction and default
    global interaction property.

    5. Appling loads & boundary conditions


    Go to the load module and create a new Gravity load

    Leave the region as default and apply loads as shown

    Then in the feature tree window expand the load states and select step 2
    propagated

    And reduce the ‘component two’ load to zero
    Lastly also apply an entcastre boundary conditions on the bottom four corners

    6. Field output requests


    Before meshing select the field output request and increase the interval to 500.

    7. Meshing
    In the meshing module mesh the aluminium tank and water block with spacings
    of about 0.05. Now assign an element type to the water

    Change the element library to explicit and Conversion to particle to yes, with
    threshold = 0

    8. Editing Keywords
    Before testing the model the some lines must be added to the model keywords,
    select the edit keywords option on the feature tree window

    Then scroll down to end assembly and select add after on the last line of Eos

    The insert the lines:

    *TENSILE FAILURE, element deletion=no, pressure=ductile, shear=ductile


    100.0

    Also under ‘*Section Controls’ change the ‘ 1., 1., 1.’ to ‘ ., ., 1.’

    9. Create and summit job


    Create and summit a job in the default manner

    10. Post Processing
    To get the best results from the model a bit of post processing is necessary.
    First remove the mesh lines; to do this select the common options tool and
    choose ‘feature edges’.

    The water particles within the cube should be visible. This can be attained in one
    of two ways; using the view cut tool to cross-section the box or using
    transparency

    View cut cross-section Global transparency

    You can also change the variables plotted on the geometry to, for example
    velocity at nodes. To do so select ‘field output’ from the result drop down menu
    and choose from the list of variables.

    To get the best demonstration of the movement of the particles choose either:
    U spatial displacement at nodes
    V spatial velocity at nodes
