• Shipbuilding, Semester 2, position 2

To cover the advanced knowledge of Naval Architecture connected to ship buoyancy and stability: ship loading, flooding, damaged ship stability and grounding. It is a continuation of the course Ship buoyancy and stability 1.

1. The student will be able to apply comprehensive knowledge from fundamental natural and technical sciences to solve ship stability problems during loading/unloading, flooding, and grounding. Additionally, the student will be familiar with regulations on ship damage stability, understand their origin and development, and their relation to accidents. The student will be aware of examples of good engineering practice within the subject topics and the directions of future development in this field; 2. The student will be capable of formulating problems and analysing the impacts of loading/unloading, flooding, and grounding to reach well-founded conclusions about ship residual stability. This will include the analysis and qualitative assessment of available data during calculations, and using engineering judgement in cases of incomplete or unreliable information; 3. The student will be able to select and apply appropriate computational and analytical techniques to model ship stability problems during loading/unloading, flooding, and grounding, considering the limitations of the applied techniques; 4. The student will be able to communicate effectively on complex engineering matters of the course subject with technical and non-technical audiences, evaluating the effectiveness of the methods used.

Loading/unloading of cargo: centric loading (small and large cargo, liquid cargo), eccentric loading. Flooding: alternative methods (added weight or lost buoyancy), centric and eccentric flooding, flooding of compartments with solid and liquid cargo. Damaged ship calculations: deterministic and probabilistic calculations, curve of floodable length, regulations. Ship grounding: bottom reaction (small and large), grounded ship stability, critical reaction, docking. Methods for improving ship stability.

Practical problems of ship buoyancy and stability, illustrating the subjects lectured in theoretical syllabus. In addition, students have to accomplish individually the project: Flooding calculations (done in accordance to SOLAS regulations) for the ship already analyzed in projects of Ship buoyancy and stability 1.

There are no special requirements for attendance.
