    Abstract: A fluid storage container with a baffle controls the heat absorption percentage of the container. Fluid that is heated adjacent to the surface of a container rises replacing colder fluid which sinks downward, regardless of the baffle. This behavior is able to lead to onset of oscillations in the temperature and flow fields. Due to blockage effect of a thin baffle, multi-cell recirculating vortex structures are observed. The number and strength of these vortices depend on the position and length of the baffle. For certain placements and lengths of the baffle, the time rate of the rise of the bulk temperature is increased or decreased.

    Abstract: A double containment prismatic tank has outer and inner walls (1, 2) made by stacking H-beam sections on top of each other and joining them along their longitudinal flange edges and at their abutting end faces in joints (5). In the joint areas internal stays (tension beams) (3) are connected to the inner wall (2) to improve the structural efficiency of the tank. The stays (3) are connected to the inner wall (2) by means of brackets (6) which extend in a smooth and tapering manner to the sides of the joint (5) area. In the joint (5) the outer and inner flanges (7, 8) of the beams (4) are joined by welds (10). However, the webs (9) of the beams (4) are not welded together in the joint, but are instead recessed and terminated in a smooth curve so as to form an opening (11), thus avoiding any contact between the outer and inner walls (7, 8) that are not base metal and thereby avoiding a risk of fatigue crack propagation from the inner wall (2) to the outer wall (1). The inner flange (8) of the beam sections (4) is provided with a rib (12) being an external extension of the web (9) between the flanges (7, 8). The bracket (6) is attached to the rib (12) through a weld (13), and a second hole (14) is made through the bracket (6) and rib (12) adjacent to the inner weld (10) between abutting inner flanges (8) in order to avoid stress concentrations and crack propagation in this area.

    Abstract: A tank is provided that reduces sloshing pressures in the corner sections of a tank, such as an LNG membrane tank. The tank includes a sloshing impact reduction system placed in selected corner sections within the tank. The system serves as a slosh attenuation system, and reduces the severity of the corner geometry and improves the flow of fluids into the tank corner. In one embodiment, an impermeable structure is disposed in an internal corner section of the tank. The impermeable structure may be a triangular planar surface, or a non-planar structural surface. The non-planar structural surface may be a concave surface or other curved surface. In another arrangement, a permeable structure is placed in an internal corner section of the tank. Such a permeable structure would enable fluid to pass through the device, but would reduce the fluid velocities and accelerations via friction or eddies. The permeable structure may be either rigid or flexible.
