Fluid-structure Interaction Modeling, Relating to Membrane LNG Ship Cargo Containment System

Over the period 2006-07, a JDP (joint development project) for LNG cargo containment system (CCS) was carried out by HHI, ABS, BV, LR and PNU. The aim of the project was to develop “best current practice” for the analysis of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) events, in particular relating to sloshing impact loads in membrane type LNG CCS, which could lead to the improved evaluation of the structural safety of GTT Mark III type CCS.
