The three dimensional characteristics of multi-surface liquid motion in a rectangular tank are investigated. The rectangular tank is divided into two parts by a baffle, which is vertical to the bottom of the tank and does not reach the bottom. The modified Helmholtz equation is derived from Laplace equation by separation of variables, and solved by boundary element method. A good agreement was found between the theoretical and experimental results. Effects caused by the position of the baffle, and the distance between the baffle and the bottom, upon the natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes are discussed.
