| Abstract | The motion of the liquid in a container, known as slosh, can cause the vehicle carrying the liquid to move appreciably beyond its normal stopping point or normal turning path. Sloshing is most pronounced when a cargo tank is partly full. The dynamics of the interaction of the liquid load and the vehicle must be appreciated by drivers if they are to handle a liquid load safely. This research project was conducted to ascertain whether the slosh characteristics of intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) aggregated to 1,000 gallons or more are similar to a single cargo tank of the same capacity. |
