A fixed anti-sloshing mechanism such as baffles which modifies the tank structure may lead to increment of the maintenance cost. This paper proposes a floating baffle, and reviews its investigation on the sloshing behaviour in a membrane-type tank model under unidirectional excitation with 30% and 5...
