Tuned liquid column damper (TLCD) is a kind of passive damper that use water sloshing motion to control structural vibration in tall buildings, wind turbines and ships. This paper presents finite element analysis of sloshing in 2D water tank using a pressure based Eulerian approach. The fluid domain is discretised by an isoparametric quadrilateral finite element. The cavity was modelled with rigid contours and free surface in order to study the decoupled liquid reservoir. Next, the cavity was coupled to a flexible structure with free vibration and forced vibration. The numerical results obtained by the created program were validated using experimental results [1] presenting acceptable errors with less than 5k elements.
