A method for simulation of a sway tank is presented,in which phase interface is treated as a physical discontinuity.The discontinuity is captured by a well-designed high order scheme.A numerical method for free surface flow on a fixed grid is established.This method is implemented in an in house code GTEA(General Transport Equation Analyzer) which is an unstructured grids finite volume solver.A classical dam break case and a two-dimensional rectangular sway tank at different excitation frequency are used to validate the method.The sloshing load on monitor points agrees well with experimental data.The method gives better results on the secondary peak compared with a commericial software CFX.It shows that the method simulates free surface overturning and breakup well.

An improved particle tracking algorithm based on unstructured grids and hybrid grids with arbitrary polygon faces is presented.A dummy triangulation of non-planar polygon faces is carried out as tracking particles across arbitrary hybrid cell faces.Feasibility and reliability are shown through numerical examples.cpu time of the algorithm is compared with that of two algorithms introduced by Haselbacher et al for particles spray into a fixed chamber.The speed up can reach as high as 47% for 10000 particle tracking.

An unstructured hybrid grid computational method is proposed,in which CGNS API(CFD General Notation System Application Programming Interface) is taken as pre- and post-processing and FVM(Finite Volume Method) is taken as a PDE(Partial Differential Equation) solver.In the pre-processing,the interior mesh faces and boundary mesh faces are indexed with hash table method for the requirment of the FVM solver.The results of the solver are written into original CGNS files with which the post-processing is dealt with by post-processing softwares,such as tecplot,fluent and CFX.For the solver,a cell centered FVM is applied to solve the coupled pressure and velocities with the SIMPLEC(Semi Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equation Consistent).Two numerical examples are shown.
