Parametric study for optimization of storage tanks considering sloshing phenomenon using coupled BEM–FEM

作者：

Highlights：

• Maximum pressure on the rectangular tank perimeter is minimized for aspect ratios in a range of 0.3–0.4.

• Maximum pressure on linear sidewall trapezoidal tank perimeter decreases about 60% for θ = 65° and 115° respect to rectangular one.

• As the trapezoidal tank width decreases the maximum pressure occurs in sidewalls angles close to θ = 90°.

• Maximum pressure on quadratic sidewall trapezoidal tank perimeter decreases about 67% respect to rectangular one.
