Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) are among the most widely used packaging and transport systems worldwide for bulk goods such as liquids. When IBCs are only partially filled, liquid sloshing can occur during both intralogistics and external transport. This sloshing generates dynamic forces on the container walls, which are transferred to the supporting structure. In particular, the horizontal sloshing forces can significantly exceed the inertial force, potentially causing critical issues for
