Varela, J. M. and Guedes Soares, C. (2005), “Virtual Environment for Ship Damage Control”, Computer science and Technologies, Vol.1, pp. 47-52

The paper describes a Virtual Environment for decision support in a Damage Control Centre of a ship. The model of the ship was conceived to support three different types of casualties: fire, flooding and contamination. All these include fluid dissemination through the compartments of the ship. Using an efficient navigation system through the 3D environment and a Graphical User Interface developed exclusively for this purpose, the operator is able to watch the ship status in real-time, query about compartments or accesses conditions, and watch the results of real-time simulations of progressive flooding through the ship compartments.
