Liquid storage reservoirs are used to store a variety of liquids. This paper deals with the behavior of a fluid under horizontal harmonic motion of a tank. The theoretical background of seismic analysis of the dynamic actions of the fluid in a container – impulsive and convective (sloshing) pressure – is considered. The behavior of the fluid under horizontal harmonic motion of tanks was observed experimentally and tested by numerical simulation using the finite element method (FEM) and the volume of fluid (VOF) method. The first natural frequency, the shape of fluid domain, maximums of wave and pressure were observed, analyzed and compared.
