Abstract—Benchmark Test Cases have been used by SPHERIC interest group members for the validation of SPH models and their corresponding computer implementations. Since the use of SPHERIC benchmark test cases as validation reference for SPH implementations has slightly declined in the most recent editions,
we think it might be interesting to document three novel test cases with the aim of enriching the database with complementary validation data. The first proposed test case is a wave impact problem in a rectangular tank. The time history of the motion
of the tank and the pressure of the first instances of lateral and roof impacts for both water and oil are provided. An analysis of the two-dimensionality and repeatability of the pressure peaks is provided. The second proposed test case treats the coupling
of the angular motion of a sloshing tank and a single degree of freedom structural system. Finally, the third proposed test case, is a canonical fluid structure interaction problem consisting in the interaction between a free surface sloshing flow and an elastic body. As both SPH practitioners and experimentalists, regardless of the discussion provided in this paper, we are committed to improving these test cases for future use. We hope to increase our experimental skills and capabilities not only in light of experience from our own simulations but mainly by receiving a feedback
from the SPH community.
