Parametric SPH study on resonant sloshing-structure interaction: coupled effects of water depth and baffle configuration on hydrodynamic loads in rectangular tanks

Key Points

• Hydrodynamic loads increase with varying water depth, influencing structural design.
• Significant load changes are observed at different baffle configurations, impacting sloshing dynamics.
• Parametric Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulation assesses interactions in rectangular tanks.
• Optimization of baffle design could enhance tank stability, highlighting potential engineering improvements.
