A Fast and Explicit Method for Simulating Flooding and Sinkage Scenarios of Ships
Year: 2013 Language: english Author: Hendrik Dankowski Publisher: Institute of Ship Design and Ship Safety Edition: 2013 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 122 Description: Many severe ship accidents in the past were caused by a large water ingress followed by the progressive flooding of the watertight integrity of the ships and finally resulted in the sinking and total loss of the vessels. These accidents show a high demand for a better understanding of the flooding of ships with the help of numerical methods. This would allow to avoid such accidents in the future and to find new designs with an increased capability to withstand flooding. The circumstances of the accidents, which involve flooding are difficult to understand due to the complexity of the inner subdivision and the large number of resulting flooding paths. Hence, a fast numerical simulation method is developed in this thesis to analyse and predict such flooding events. The validation of the method comprises the comparison with experimental results from three test cases of a model test and the re-investigation of three severe ship accidents.
