Loss of bouyancy
When compartment is holed the ship will sink deeper in
water until intact colume displaces waater equivalent to
the mass od the ship and its contents.
Loss of buoyance of a holed compartment is the mass of
water entered the compartment up to the original
waterline after the appearance of hole.
It is computed by the volume of compartment multiplied
by the permeability of the compartment.
Calculation:
1. SF = 45 lb/ft3
Density: 3
2. SF = 47 lb/ft3
Density: 1.5
2. SF = 46.5 lb/ft3 Density: 2.7
Loss of bouyancy
If the lost buoyancy is greater than the reserve buoyancy,
that means that the ship is already sinking.
The draft will be until the top of the upper deck.
The reserve buoyancy cant support the lost buoyancy due
to hole/s in compartment/s.
The are of the intact waterplane is reduced by the area of the flooded spaces
at the level of the flooded waterline multiplied by the permeability of the
spaces.
Reduction of WPA leads to a reduction in the 2 nd moment of area BM=I/V ,
wherein BM of a ship is generally less when bilged that when intact.
According to the stability notes of damage stability, the compartment flooded
is not anymore considered a part of the ship if the hole is in the waterline or
the water is going in and out.
Flooded space is entirely below waterline there is no reduction in intact
waterplane. The space is only considered to be loading additional weights on
the ship and still be considered part of the ship.
