Santos, T.A., Dupla, P. and Guedes Soares, C. (2009), “Numerical Simulation of the Progressive Flooding of a Box-Shaped Barge”, Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Stability of Ships and Ocean Vehicles (STAB´09), 22-26 June, St. Petersburg, Russia, pp. 281-294
Numerical simulation methods capable of predicting the progressive flooding of passenger and cargo ships and the time required for such extreme events as sinking or capsize are still relatively uncommon. This paper presents a numerical method capable of describing the progressive flooding of ships taking in consideration complex subdivision arrangements. Numerical results are shown for the progressive flooding of the ITTC box-shaped barge. Multiple types of flooding and internal openings are considered, including complex cross-flooding, up-flooding and down-flooding situations. Comparison is made with experimental results aiming at validating the numerical simulation method and conclusions are drawn.
