Natural convections subjected to multi-Degree of Freedom (DoF) motion are much more complex than those in static case, and those subjected to yawing motion are the simplest and ideal case for investigating their characteristics due to less interactive parameters. In this paper, the characteristic of natural convection under yawing motion was studied systematically to clarify the interaction between yawing motion and thermal-dy...

A crude oil tanker usually encounters a rolling motion during sea transportation, which leads to rotational movement and sometimes a sloshing of the liquid hold. This rolling-induced body motion seriously affects the thermal and hydraulic behavior of the liquid hold, which then affects the heating process and heat preservation of the tanker. Clarification of the involved thermal and hydraulic characteristics is the basic requi...
