The sloshing generator

Rendered here at the parameters it defaults to, with every essay that calls it — which is the same list as the blast radius of changing it.
A broad tank sloshes and a tall one does notThe liquid's division into the part that moves with the wall and the part that sloshes, against the tank's proportion. The convective masses come from the potential-flow solution and the impulsive mass is whatever is left, so the two sum to the liquid's mass exactly at every proportion rather than approximately over part of the range. A tall tank at H/R = 3 is 84% impulsive and behaves almost like a solid; a shallow one at H/R = 0.5 is 72% convective and most of its contents never notice the earthquake.

1 essay calls sloshing. The drawing above is what it returns with no arguments at all; every call below passes it something, because a placement that passes nothing draws whichever member of the family the generator happens to default to rather than the one its essay argues about.

Where it is called

Changing this generator changes every one of these figures.
