The liquid sloshing problem, which may simply be referred as the oscillatory movements of a liquid- state material inside a partially filled container, constitutes a broad class of problems of great practical importance with regard to the safety of transportation systems such as liquid cargo in ocean- going vessels or liquid storage systems such as water reservoir of a dam.

The aim of this symposium is to bring together researchers who work in the fields related to modeling, simulation or analysis of the sloshing type problems by using mathematical (analytical/semi- analytical or numerical) approaches and discuss recent advances.
