Influence of Mesh Option "PATTERN" for Fluid Region Using Finite Element Method

Ground-supported tanks are used to store a variety of fluids. The liquid develops a hydrodynamic effect on walls and bottom of the tank during earthquake. This paper presents influence of mesh parameter “PATTERN” for numerical model fluid region of liquid seismic response in rectangular tank – endlessly long shipping channel. Finite Element Method (FEM) was used in software Adina.
