AI Thread Summary
Driving an oil tanker truck on curvy roads presents different challenges depending on whether the tank is partitioned. When the tank is completely filled with oil, the presence of partitions does not significantly affect the driver's experience. However, if the tank is not full, sloshing occurs, which can be more pronounced without baffles. The inertial effects during acceleration, deceleration, and turning can impact vehicle control in both scenarios. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for safe driving practices in oil tanker operations.

Dear Friends!
I want to know the experience of driver of the oil container(tanker) truck shown in two forms while driving on a road with curves at varying speeds.
1.When container has no partition.
2.When container is partitioned but contains same quantity of oil.

I see no reason for a difference.
 
Thank you Tesl@!
I think in the former case there is reinforcement and cumulative effect!Whereas in later case individual effects(inertial ...etc.) are not causing cumulative effect.
Am I correct?
Ignore weight of partions!
 
Is the container completely full, or is it possible for sloshing to occur?

Thank You Chestermiller!
I need to understand both cases.
Case1 When all volumes are completely occupied with oil.
Still I think fuid has possibility of inertia of rotation etc...
Case 2 When in both cases fluid is not completely occupying the chambers.
Here I think in linear motion in decelaration and accleration various effects must be experienced by driver.
In curve motion as well there will be some additional effects.

If the volume is completely filled with oil, then it will make no difference if there are baffles present. If the volume is not completely filled with oil, the sloshing will be much more serious when there are no baffles present.

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
