摘　　要：Unsteady currents fluids flowing through a baffle with holes found in a mobile storage tank are complex to analyze. This study aims to evaluate the effects of fluid structure interactions (FSI) on baffles in tanks carried on mobile trucks that, more often than not, experience sloshing phenomenon engulfed by turbulences behaviors with respect to different motions of the truck. Mindful of the different types of baffles that are used in the tanks to limit sloshing wave activities and improve safety by allowing fluid to pass through carefully designed holes that are also placed in a specific pattern, the fluid structure interaction around a baffle with a hole is evaluated here through computing. Passing through the solver in COMSOL, an equivalent design tank and baffle with a hole is discretized to point form such that the fluid flowing through each point is evaluated and interpreted on a point graph generated with respect to each point located on the tank or baffle hole. The result obtained not only shows the effects of FSI as a function of turbulence kinetic energy per individual point but also the contour pressure field and velocity magnitude of the entire system.Unsteady currents fluids flowing through a baffle with holes found in a mobile storage tank are complex to analyze.
