It is seen from thesedata that while the baffles lowered the fundamentnl frequency, they prorided considerabledamping over that of an unbaffled tank. Ittllso appears that the horizontal bnffle configurlition provides greater damping than doesthe cruciform configuration.Sumner (ref. 4.42) also considered the perfolniunce of l~luiulnr ring baffles in sphericaltanks containing water (fig. 4.47). (Note thatthis h n f l c tlrrangernent is entirely differentfrom either of those considered by Abramson(ref. 4.29) and mentioned in the precedingI)&(were in~estigat~ed.-4s also indicatedby the earlier experiments (ref.
4.29), thedynamic behavior of liquids in spherical tanksis relntively nonlinear and complex, thus imposing sonle difficulties in presentation of data.The liquid resonant frequency increases withincreasing liquid depth and incrertsing bafflewidth, as sho~vn in figure 4.48. A sharpincrease in this frequency occurs for liquidlevels a t or slightly above the baffle; furtherincrease in depth then results in a sharp decrease in the frequency.
This rapid rariatioriis believed to be cnused by the bnffle effect'ivelychanging the tank geometry.

The maximum ralue of the damping obtained by varyingthe excitation frequency and holding constantthe other variables is denoted as the first-modedamping ratio. Maximum damping was generally obtained mhen the liquid depth wasapproximately a t the baffle. These rigid bafflesprovided high damping mhen the liquid surfacewas less than 0.1R below and 0.5R above thebaffle. The three-ring baffle configuration provided damping ratios greater than 0.1 througha range of liquid depths 0.25 <h/d 1 0 . 8 0 .1.00.10.20.3 0.40.5 0.60.7Liquid - depth ratio, h 12R0.80.9FIGURE 4.48.-Variationof fundamental frequencyparameter with liquid depth ratio for rigid single-ringbaffles in a spherical tank (ref. 4.42).The slosli forces vary with escitation frequency and reach n rnaximunl at approximatelythe liquid resonant frequency, increasing withincreasing excitation amplitude and decreasingbaffle width, as shown in figures 4.50 and 4.51 ;the variation \vit,h liquid depth may be seen infigure 4.52.
In general, it was found that, forthis series of esperiments, the optJimum bafflewidth, from considerations of slosh suppressioncharac teristics and baffle weight, correspondedto w/R=0.125. Also, for each baffle configuration, the slosh forces were most effectivelysuppressed when the liquid free surface wasa t or slightly above the baffle so that thebaffle remained completely submerged duringthe liquid oscillations. The rigid baffles wereineffective in reducing the slosh forces forliquid levels more than 0.30R to 0.40R aboveand below the baffle location.
The rigid,three-ring baffle configuration effectively suppressed the slosh forces for all liquid depthstested.Flexible BafflesAll the foregoing considerations of dampingby fixed baffles have referred to rigid solid orperforated baffles. A number of studies, however, suggested that flexible baffles may offersubstantial advantages in terms of both increased damping effectiveness and reducedbaffle weight (refs. 4.28 and 4.42).

4.43).The various baffle configurations examined byStephens are shon-n in figure 4.57. Of these,the elastic cantilever configuration was so farsuperior in its high damping and very lowweight characteristics (quite thin and flexiblematerials ]\-ere considered, dotl-n to 0.005l-cmthick Mylar) that most effort was devoted to it.The mechanism of energy dissipation is involvedwith the formation of a strong vortex in theliquid as it flows past the baffle.Two nondimensional parameters were foundto be of importance, as shown in figure 4.58.The first involves the periodicity of the liquidand the second the baffle flexibility.
The effectof baffle flexibility is shown in figure 4.59, withliquid period as a parameter. The magnitudeof the relative damping is greater than unityover all of the range of baffle flexibility sho~vn,but decreases rapidly as flexibility increasesto the point, a t - which the baffle offers noresistance to the flow.IIIIBaffle width ratio.wlRNo baffleIIExcitation amplitude parameter, (X,ld lFIGURE4.51.-Variation of first-mode slosh-force parameter with excitation amplitude parameter for rigidsingle-ring baffles in a spherical tank (ref.
