Abstract:A reliable estimation of the floating condition of a roll on/roll off cargo (ROPAX) vessel after the accumulation of firewater on the vehicle deck is extremely important for making correct decisions on evacuation and abandonment. Thus, for the seafarer working on a ROPAX vessel, there is a demand for a time-dependent prediction of the floating condition of the vessel after the firewater accumulation. For this purpose, a new iterative computational approach, based on quasi-static theory, is presented. The appro… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
