Free surface fluid behavior in a two-dimensional container with arbitrary configuration (computer simulation and experiment using drop tower)☆

Abstract A new computer program for problems of two-dimensional time-dependent fluid flow in containers with free surface is presented. The program has been developed to provide a wider range of capabilities than other methods for treating those problems. In order to examine the capability of our program, two types of experiments are made by using a drop tower and these results are compared with those of computer simulations. Reasonably good agreements are obtained.
