Abstract

When a partially loaded liquid container vibrates along the vertical direction, the liquid inside will oscillate regularly, which is called Faraday wave. In some cases, the wave form of the Faraday wave is stable and smooth, and sometimes there is violent wave breaking and liquid splashing. In this paper, the Faraday waves inside the cylindrical tank and the hexagonal tanks are simulated by the in-house solver MLParticle-SJTU base on the moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method. The surface tension model is used to better model the free surfaces with large deformations. Phenomena such as wave breaking and liquid splashing are well captured and simulated. The results show that the waveforms are significantly different at different excitation frequencies. And the tank shape also has an obvious effect on the waveform.
