Description
Book SynopsisThe problem of liquid sloshing in moving or stationary containers remains of concern to aerospace, civil, and nuclear engineers, physicists, designers of road tankers and ship tankers, and mathematicians. This book takes the reader systematically from basic theory to advanced analytical and experimental results in a self-contained and coherent format.
Trade Review'This book will be invaluable to researchers and graduate students in mechanical and aeronautical engineering, designers of liquid containers and applied mathematicians. Engineering Designer
'…a remarkable and comprehensive contribution to sloshing dynamics… The reviewer highly recommends this book for graduates and Ph. D students in this field, as well as researchers and engineers in various industries that use storage tanks, because it contains not only original aspects but also acts as a tutorial through its discussions of how analytical results compare with measurements. It represents an important addition to the fluid-structure interaction bookshelf.' Journal of Sound and Vibration
