In this paper, a numerical model was developed to simulate the sloshing phenomenon in a rectangular tank with a wall mounted baffle. The influence of different parameters including the water filling level, the baffle location, and the baffle length were evaluated on the suppressing sloshing in a rectangular tank. Finally, some suggestions were presented to optimize the efficiency of the baffles. Finally, the wall mounted baffles located at Hb/Ht=۰.۳۵m and Lb/Lt=۰.۲-۰.۲۵ was suggested as the optimum one in which the swash force arises from the sloshing impact was mitigated around ۷۵%.
