5.1.3.2.1 Miles’ Analysis (28). According to Miles, the damp-

ing ratio of an annular ring baffle is

ring baffle area

ratio of ring baffle area to cross-sectional area of tank

depth of ring baffle below undisturbed free liquid surface

radius of circular cylindrical tank

amplitude of liquid oscillations measured at the tank wall

from undisturbed free liquid surface.

Within the restrictions on a and C1, this damping ratio relation was exper-

imentally verified; however, Miles suggested that additional experimental

confirmation would be desirable, both in order to establish the limits on

a and 5 /a and to determine a more accurate value of the constant multiplier.

Results are shown in Figures 5-17 to 5-29.
