Sloshing

This book presents sloshing with marine and land-based applications, with a focus on ship tanks. It also includes the nonlinear multimodal method developed by the authors and an introduction to computational fluid dynamics. Emphasis is also placed on rational and simplified methods, including several experimental results. Topics of special interest include antirolling tanks, linear sloshing, viscous wave loads, damping, and slamming. The book contains numerous illustrations, examples and exercises. '... comprehensive and well-written ... should certainly be in the library of any institution where fluid mechanics is an active topic of research. ... its extensive contents make it good value as a reference text in, and beyond, the topic of its title.'
