A study on the sloshing response in a tank containing two different liquids under seismic excitation is presented. Both analytical and numerical (FEM) methods are employed in the analysis. The results obtained by the two methods are in good agreement. The response quantities examined include the sloshing wave height, the natural frequencies of the sloshing motion, and the vertical displacement at the interface of the two liquids. It is shown that the maximum sloshing wave height may increase significantly, and the fundamental period of the sloshing motion is longer than that in an identical tank containing only one liquid. 10 refs., 12 figs.
