Really appreciate your response.

I want to make this simulation as close as possible to real conditions, where the liquid sloshes due to 6 degrees of freedom (6DOF) ship motion caused by sea waves, so considering only 1 degree of freedom (1DOF) motion is an oversimplification.

Additionally, I am aware that I need a motion path, and I considered AQWA for capturing the sloshing pattern of the fluid, but there is no Fluent-AQWA co-simulation since I want to analyze the thermodynamic behavior during sloshing. Also, AQWA cannot calculate fluid velocity to import to Fluent. So I have to move on from AQWA to a User-Defined Function (UDF) to simulate the sloshing pattern.

You have mentioned the Volume of Fluid (VOF) model to track the interface. Isn't the VOF model too simple to track multicomponent systems?

I cannot ignore phase change because there is a cryogenic fluid inside the tank. Despite the high insulation system, there is heat leakage from the environment into the system. Furthermore, violent sloshing affects the exchange of components between the two phases.
