Title: A shallow-water sloshing model for wave breaking in rectangular tanks
Abstract: Abstract We propose a simple, robust and efficient sloshing model that accounts for breaking phenomena evolving in rectangular tanks and in shallow-water conditions. The model has been obtained by applying Fourier analysis to Boussinesq-type equations and using an approximate analytic solution for the vorticity generated by wave breaking. The toe of the breaker and the intensity of the vorticity injected at the free surface are computed on the basis of literature results for coastal-type breakers. A first experimental campaign has been used to calibrate the turbulent viscosity of the sloshing model, while a second campaign has been run as final validation. The overall good agreement between the numerical outputs and the experimental data confirms the reliability and robustness of the proposed model.
