The self-induced sloshing in a rectangular tank had been investigated experimentally by using Particle Imaging Velocimetry (PIV) technique. The instantaneous flow fields, time average results and phase average results of the PIV measurement were used to reveal the evolution of the vortical structures in the test tank. Based on the experimental result, resonated oscillation was suggested to be the mechanism of the self-induced sloshing, and the fluctuation of the inlet plane jet and the periodically shedding of the unsteady vortical structures were conjectured to be the excitation source of the self-induced sloshing.
