Project Overview
In this Abaqus project, the behavior of a water tower (water tank) under earthquake loading is simulated. The objective is to investigate the response of the water inside the tank during the earthquake excitation.
During the simulation, a ground acceleration record is applied to the bottom of the model in the X direction. The earthquake has a total duration of 10 seconds.
Water tower subjected to earthquake loading in Abaqus.
Water Tank and Water
Approximately 60% of the tank is filled with water. The weight of both the water and the tank is considered in the simulation.
The interaction between the water and the tank is considered during the earthquake so that the deformation and movement of the water can be investigated.
Water filling approximately 60% of the tank.
Water Deformation During the Earthquake
During the earthquake, the motion of the tank causes the water to deform and move inside the tank. The deformation of the water can be observed throughout the simulation.
The results demonstrate how the water responds to the imposed ground acceleration during the earthquake process.
T=7.1 S.
T=7.7 S.
T=9.45 S.
T=10 S.

hello!
I want to buy the video.
But I would also like to know if you have a CEL simulations course.
Thank you so much.

hi i want to learn CEL simulation for flexible tank structure (instead of rigid) to observe sloshing frequency of water in it, specifically for cylindrical tank. i am dont know how to apply boundary condition for fluid part , water is disappearing from tank in dynamic explicit analysis.

Hello
In this model, the tank is deformable (3D , shell , deformable)
I suggest you see these tutorials:
