dc.description.abstractPerforated baffle plates are used as an anti-slosh mechanism in various fields owing to the need for slosh suppression and weight reduction. However, there is an uncertainty in the selection of configuration of perforated baffle plate due to the several influencing parameters for slosh damping efficiency. Therefore, the present study focuses on the development of an efficient slosh damping configuration for the perforated baffle plate. For this, nonlinear dynamic analysis under seismic ground motions with different PGA/PGV ratios has been carried out in the time domain using the concepts of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in the numerical models of liquid tanks with perforated baffle plates of different configurations. The response of the system under impulsive and convective modes is analysed by observing the free surface elevation, hydrodynamic pressure, turbulence kinetic energy and turbulence eddy dissipation as the response parameters. The study developed an effective baffle configuration for efficient slosh damping, considering the various response parameters. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd
