| Transporting Liquids: Watch Out for Slosh
|
| | Every load has unique characteristics that an operator needs to take into consideration before moving it. Transporting liquids offers a prime example.
Recently a student in one of my classes illustrated this point. He used to operate a tanker truck and told the class that transporting liquid in a partially filled tank greatly changes the stopping characteristics of the vehicle.
Specifically when the truck decelerates, (assuming there are no baffles in the tank and the liquid has a low viscosity) the liquid sloshes forward.
When the truck stops, the liquid sloshes back and piles up against the rear of the tank. Then the liquid sloshes forward again, sometimes with enough force to push the truck into the intersection. |
