Abstract
In this study, the effect of integration order, which is used for the formation of fluid surface stiffness, on the behavior of fluid is investigated. Fluid is assumed to be linear-elastic, inviscid and irrotational. The formulation of fluid elements is displacement-based, and includes the effects of compressible wave propagation and surface sloshing motion. The element matrices that include volume integrals firmed with reduced integration order. The surface stiffness of fluid was formed using both reduced and full integration orders. The effect of different integration orders on the behavior of fluid is demonstrated on various problems whose analytical solutions are already known.
