Someidea of the reason for this can be obtained fromfigure S.11, which shows the experimentalliquid response over a wide frequency range ina 14.5-centimeter-diameter, rigid cylindricaltank.
As the forcing freqnency is graduallydecreased from a point slightly to the right ofthe stability boundary (see fig. 8.7), the liquidamplitude continually increases as the unstableregion is traversed. After a steady state isreached, the forcing frequency can be furtherdecreased, even to points considerably to theleft of the left-hand stability boundary, that is,into the stable region for small motions, urldthe steady-state nmplitude increases still more.However, a point is finally reached a t which theliquid motion quickly decays to zero, as indicated by the downward pointing dashedarrow for x0=0.65.
On the other hand, if thefrequency is gradually increased from a pointto the left of the rmstable region, the liquidremains quiescent until the stability boundaryis reached. At this point, the liquid amplitudequickly increases to a sizable magnitude, asindicated in the figure by the upward-pointingdashed arrow. Both of these types of responsetire similar to the well-known "jumps" in othernonlinear systems. 9 photograph of the largenmplitude motion is shown in figure 5.12; it isquite con~plex,as can be seen, with breaking-The other possible solution, oil= B cos or, .

The response284THJ~ DYNAMIC BEcurves for both modes are quite similar inappearance to figure 8.11.Spherical TankThe behavior of liquids in spherical tanksunder vertical excitation has also been investigated by Kana (refs. 8.25 and 8.26). Again,the liquid slirface modes appear predominantl-jas one-half subllarmonics of the excitationfrequency and are qualitatively similar inshape to those occurring in a cylindrical tank.Of course, there is a variation of the liqliidresonant frequencies with depth, hut no newaspects of the slibharmonic liquid responseseem to arise.Summary of Subharmonic ResultsThe types of subharmonic sloshing discussed in this section nre the only ones forwhich any substantial nrnount of laboratorydatn are nvailable.
Even in these cases,there are no data reported on fluid pressuresnnd forces.The available t h e o r i e ~ ,while~probably not~iccurateenough to calculate large amplitudesloshing and fluid pressures, are sufficient todetermine the frequency range for which largeamplitude motions should be expected; insome instances this infornlation is all that isrequired. As an additional note; one shouldrecall that the method of solving nonlinearproblems outlined earlier is not the only feasibleone. For example, one might attempt anexpansion in powers of e, the nondimensionalforcing amplitude, instead of an expansion inpowers of 81 (or pl1 or bO1as the case may be).Or one might employ the method developedby Hutton (ref. 8.28) in which the two nonlinear boundary conditions are combined togive one equation involving only @.
Evenwith this procedure, however, the resultingequation is correct only to a certain preassigneddegree in the velocity potential. The essentialpoints of this analysis, and other possiblyfruitful approaches, are given in chnpter 3.Only for rectangular or cylindrical tnnks; no analysishas yet been completed for cither the 90' seotor compartmented cylindrical tank or for the spherical tank.A general thoory for tanks of arbitrary geometry hasbeen formulated (ref. 8.27), but no computations havebeen made.LVIOR OF LIQUIDSLarge Amplitude Harmonic and SuperharmonicMotionsUp to this point, the only liquid motion thathas been discussed in detail is the large amplitude subharmonic response, chiefly because it isthis response that would probably prove to bethe most troublesome and the easiest to excitein actual tanks.
However, other types ofresponses are possible since, according tofigure 8.4 or 8.5, harmonic and superharmonicmotions may be excited for certain forcingfrequency-amplitude combinations. I n contrast to the subharmonic motions, however,there appear to be two entirely different typesof harmonic and superharmonic responses:small amplitude motions which seem to correspond to stable responses, and large amplitudemotions which correspond to unstable solutionsof equation (8.8). Although the excitationfrequency for these responses is higher than forsubharmonic motion, it is still sufficiently lowthat the tank elasticity may be neglected.As mentioned previously, the widths of theunstable regions of the Mathiell stability chartfor harmonic and superhnrmonic responses arequite narrow, even for no damping. Withdamping, 11 rather severe amplitude cutoffexists; tlirtt is, the unstable regions do notextend completely to the line xo=O in figure 8.5.This amplitude cutoff may be circumvented,however, by using a small enough tank or alarge enough excitation; the reason for this isthat the width of the unstable regions increaseswith the nondimensional excitation amplitudeapproximately as a2fN, where N is, as before,the ratio of the forcing frequency to the dominant liquid frequency.
