ABSTRACT
In order to better understand the influence of these raised elements on sloshing pressures, different studies have been carried out. Due to complexity of sloshing model tests using raised edges, most of these studies consisted in performing wedge drop tests widely used in the industry as a means to investigate fluid impact problems. The main conclusion of these studies was that corrugations significantly reduced the magnitude of impact pressures by factors at least 2 when compared to pressures measured on smooth wedge. The main explanation for such reduction was the trapped air cushioning effect.
