Study of earthquake Loma Prieta influence on pressure distribution of fluid filling in rectangular endlessly long channel

The paper documents obtaining peak values of hydrodynamical pressure of the fluid filling in the rectangular endlessly long channel during an earthquake. When the contained fluid filling vibrates, the fluid produces an additional hydrodynamic pressure together with hydrostatic pressure on the tank structure. Our interest was analyzing the obtained numerical time-depended response of the fluid: pressure and peak values of pressures.
