Abstract
We consider the problem of nonlinear oscillations of an ideal incompressible liquid in a tank of a body-of-revolution shape. It is shown that the ordinary way of application of perturbation techniques results in the violation of solvability conditions of the problem. To avoid this contradiction we introduce some additional conditions and revise previously used approaches. We construct a discrete nonlinear model of the investigated problem on the basis of the Hamilton-Ostrogradskii variational formulation of the mechanical problem, preliminarily satisfying the kinematic boundary conditions and solvability conditions of the problem. Numerical examples testify to the efficiency of the constructed model.
