Fluid–Flexible Structure Interaction under Strongly Nonlinear Sloshing for Reducing Fluid Force and Energy Harvesting in Fuel Ship Tanks Using a Particle-Based Method
This research explores how strong liquid motion inside a ship fuel tank can be reduced and, at the same time, converted into useful electrical energy. When a ship moves due to waves, the liquid inside the tank can shake violently, a phenomenon known as sloshing. This motion can create large forces on the tank walls and may affect the safety and stability of the ship. In this study, flexible piezoelectric structures are installed inside the tank. These structures work like dampers that help reduce the force caused by the moving liquid. At the same time, when they bend or vibrate due to the liquid motion, their deformation can be converted into electrical energy. Using a particle-based numerical simulation method, this research investigates the interaction between the liquid and the flexible structures inside the ship tank. The main focus is to understand how these flexible structures can serve two functions: reducing sloshing-induced fluid forces and harvesting energy from liquid motion.
