Abstract

The two-dimensional sloshing of a fluid in a horizontal circular cylindrical container and the three-dimensional sloshing of a fluid in a spherical container are considered. The linearized theory of water waves is used to determine the frequencies of free oscillations under gravity of an arbitrary amount of fluid in such tanks. Special coordinate systems are used and the problems are formulated in terms of integral equations which are solved numerically for the eigenvalues. Detailed tables of the sloshing frequencies are presented for a range of fill-depths of the containers.
