Abstract
A simple and accurate Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) based Finite Element (FE) is proposed for examining the dynamic characteristics of a partially liquid-filled rigid container. The present NURBS-FE is founded on a variational problem that arises from small amplitude sloshing of incompressible and inviscid liquid where the flow field is assumed to be irrotational. The superiority of Ck-NURBS-based FE over conventional C0-FE in terms of accuracy and robustness is witnessed through solving a set of numerical problems.
