The Design of Tanks for Use in an Active Tank System

Abstract

Detailed consideration is given to the design of the tanks for activated anti-roll tank installations. The tanks considered are of the U-tube type. Methods are presented for selecting the geometry of the tank to obtain the proper tank size frequency. The computation of the damping is made from standard, empirical relations used in hydraulics. In addition, the formulae for computing sloshing are also presented.
