Numerical Simulation of Ship Transient Behavior Coupled with Water Flooding Available to Purchase

In order to secure the survivability of damaged ships under flooding condition, a numerical simulation method was developed by the authors. This method solves equations of ship motion with hydrodynamic forces estimated by the MPS method for damaged parts and by the potential flow theory for intact parts. In this paper, an explicit MPS method is introduced instead of the original semi-implicit MPS method to reduce CPU costs. In order to validate the developed method, model experiments are conducted for a pure car carrier with a damage opening to measure transient motions during flooding, and are compared with numerical results.
