Abstract

The large-amplitude sloshing of propellant is a widely concerned problem in aerospace engineering. Computational fluid dynamics methods have been proposed to simulate large-amplitude liquid sloshing for decades, with several meshed or meshless methods. This paper proposes an isogeometric analysis (IGA) method for sloshing simulation. The main challenges are tracking liquid free surface and time step convergence. Level Set method is combined with IGA with fixed grids to track free surface moving, also can be used to track liquid separateness which is quite common in large-amplitude sloshing. As IGA can provide numerically accurate solution at any location in computational domain, the mesh of Level Set can be different with IGA mesh without losing accuracy. Characteristic-Based Split (CBS) method is used to control divergence of each time step. The numerical results are compared to published numerical results and Flow3D software results for validation, and good agreement is observed.
