- Due to the growing liquefied natural gas (LNG) market, sloshing within LNG tanks becomes a design concern for engineers. Previous works mainly focused on the sloshing generated by the idealised regular excitations. In this paper, the emphasis is put on the sloshing flows in a real-sized LNG tank excited by the realistic ship motions, where the strong sloshing including breaking surface can be induced. The motion response amplitude operators (RAOs) of an LNG carrier are adopted directly, and an arbitrarily moving coordinate system is utilised. The parameter study proposes many helpful recommendations for engineering designs.
