A
contained
volume
of
water
is
free
to
collapse
under
gravity
and
flow
into
a
baffle
and
continer
walls.
Physics and modelling
The
mathematical
model
used
in
this
simulation
is
the
two-phase
Eulerian
model,
where
the
phase-to-phase
interaction
is
modelled.
A
phase
fraction
()
describes
the
state
at
all
points
in
the
column:
0
corresponding
to
air;
1
to
water.

Animations
The
animation
shows
the
volume
of
water
collapse,
strike
the
baffle
and
slosh
inside
the
domain.
