The present work is concerned with an experimental study of the hydrodynamic damping provided by using vertical baffles in partially filled rectangular tanks. The damping ratio in a rectangular tank is evaluated for different vertical baffle dimensions, shapes, numbers and arrangements. A test rig for a carrying rectangular tank system is designed and constructed to measure the transient responses in time domain. The baffles are fitted to attenuate the lateral motion of the liquid slosh. Lower and upper mounted vertical baffles of different heights and numbers are tested. Lower mounted vertical baffles with holes of different sizes and numbers are considered. Finally, the effect of a combination between upper, lower and holed vertical baffles on the damping is investigated. The results show that the size and location of the vertical baffles significantly influence the hydrodynamic damping. In general, the damping ratio increases as the lower mounted baffle is close to the liquid free surface and the center of the tank. Increasing the baffle numbers increases the damping ratio. The upper mounted vertical baffles are more suitable for chargeable tank. The twin side upper mounted baffles and centre holed Lower mounted baffle arrangements give a maximum damping ratio.
