Abstract：A mathematic model of tanker rollover is built. Based on the model, the formula of liquid sloshing′s additional moment and overturning moment of tanker is derived. To minimize the value of liquid sloshing′s additional moment and overturning moment,the concept of tank with longitudinal baffle is put forward. Based on tank structure design theory, the tank with multiple longitudinal baffle and the tank with moving longitudinal baffle is designed. The study applies Fluent software to simulate liquid sloshing characteristics for tank with multiple longitudinal baffle as well as for traditional tank under the lateral instantaneous braking condition and uniform steering working condition. It turns out that the tank with multiple longitudinal baffle decomposes liquid impact on unilateral wall onto double side walls of tank and arc-shaped longitudinal baffle. Thus,the rollover probability of tanks is reduced by decreasing the impact on unilateral wall. The design of tank structure with moving longitudinal baffle and intelligent anti-rollover system finally achieves the intelligent control of tanker anti-rollover through real-time coordinated control of tank′s center of gravity and chassis′s center of gravity.
