DETERMINATION OF THE STABILITY PARAMETERS AND THE POSITION OF A SHIP IN THE CONDITION OF FLOODING OF THE WATERTIGHT COMPARTMENT. IN: MARINE TECHNOLOGY V

The results of stability calculations in the case of a damaged watertight compartment occurring during flooding are reviewed in this paper. The constant displacement method along with the method of established volume were used in the calculations. These stability parameters have made it possible to analyze the changes of metacentric height, angles of heel and angles of trim that occur during the flooding. Both the method developed and computer programs elaborated can be used for a training stability simulator at the Naval University of Gdynia. The calculations can be useful in the training program for midshipmen and other personnel who are responsible for safety in flooding situations.
