The paper presents research on damage stability and unsinkability. In the paper, the method of calculation a volume of damaged compartments is presented. On the basic of the built computer program, a simulation model of the damaged main engine room ship’s type 888 was shown. To calculate a real quantity of the water, the permeability of flooding compartment µ is used. Permeability of the main engine room was estimated on the basis of preliminary research presented in the paper. Its value depends on the height of the water inside the compartment. The results of the experiments can be a base to define general rules to make proper decisions during the process of damage control.DETERMINING THE PERMEABILITY COEFFICIENT OF A DAMAGED MAIN ENGINE ROOM COMPARTMENT OF A WARSHIP
The paper concerns research on the unsinkability and damage control of a warship. The paper presents a method for determining the volume of a damaged compartment. A developed computer model of the main engine room of a type 888 ship is presented. To calculate the actual amount of water that can enter the damaged compartment, the permeability coefficient of the ship’s compartment µ is used. The paper discusses a method for determining the permeability coefficient of a damaged compartment, the value of which is dependent on the water level in the compartment. The results of the preliminary calculations of the coefficient can serve as a basis for developing rules for damage control of the ship’s hull plating.
1. INTRODUCTION
Even highly organized fleets struggle with accidents and technical breakdowns which cannot be completely eliminated. The breakdowns can be classified based on their causes.
The basic causes of the breakdowns are: warfare, defects of materials and defects within the production process, constructional defects, technological defects in the process of (…)
