AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies struggle to simultaneously meet the computational accuracy and efficiency requirements for liquid sloshing problems in engineering applications, especially when dealing with complex geometric boundaries, multi-layered liquid sloshing, and fluid-structure interaction problems, resulting in high computational complexity and poor numerical stability.
The partitioned modal characteristic analysis method is adopted. Through region decomposition, interface matching and eigenvalue analysis, the interface matching equation is constructed. Combined with column-scale equilibrium preprocessing, the natural frequency and sloshing mode of the liquid are solved, and the free surface wave height response time history is calculated.
It improves computational efficiency and solution accuracy, can flexibly handle complex geometric boundaries and multi-layer liquid systems, supports fluid-structure interaction problems, and maintains high accuracy over long time scales.
