This paper described the sloshing simulation of the LNG (Liquid Natural Gas) tank due to the LNG ship’s motion
during operation at sea. The ship motions in irregular wave were obtained by 3D diffraction panel method in frequency
domain. Coupled motions of surge, heave, and pitch due to the head sea of incoming wave were considered in
the solving of longitudinal sloshing problem in certain range of wave frequency. The LNG sloshing on the Bilobe tank
type was studied by using the Computational Fluid Dynamic technique with attention to obtain a maximum pressure
that was occured on inner wall of the tank. Three cases of the LNG filling level including an empty (10%h), a half
(50%h), and a full (90%h) conditions of tank height (h) were considered in order to investigate the free surface effect
due to the LNG sloshing. The simulation results have shown that the maksimum pressure due to sloshing at inner
wall have increased by 11.1%, 5.4%, and 11.5% while in the load conditions of full, a half, and an empty respectively.
The maximum pressure that occurs did not exceed 6 percent based on the calculation of probability occurrence for
all LNG filling level conditions.
