Abstract An asymptotic method for investigating small oscillations of fluids in cylindrical tanks with longitudinal damping partitions is presented. The effect of the number and width of partitions on the hydrodynamic parameters and the damping coefficients of fluid oscillations is studied in detail for the case of a circular cylindrical enclosure with a plane bottom. The numerical results are obtained using the finite element method. Basing on the asymptotic theory of vortex resistance a perturbation method applicable for determining the fluid oscillation damping in tanks of arbitrary shape with partitions of small relative width is developed.
