Abstract: In this manuscript, the optimal design of geometry for a forced sloshing in a rigid container based on the entropy generation minimization (EGM) method is presented. The geometry of the vessel considered here is two dimensional rectangular. Incompressible inviscid fluid undergoes horizontal harmonic motion by interaction with a rigid tank. The analytical solution of a fluid stream function is obtained and benchmarked by Finite element results. A parameter study of the aspect ratio, amplitude, and frequency of the horizontal harmonic motion is performed. As well, an analytical solution for the total entropy generation in the volume is presented and discussed. The total entropy generation is compared with the results of the Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) solver and the Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) method). Then, the effect of parameters is studied on the total entropy generated by sway motion. Finally, the results show that, based on the excitation frequency, an optimal design of the tank could be found.
