ENSAYOS EXPERIMENTALES PARA LA OBTENCIÓN DEL COEFICIENTE HIDRÁULICO COMO UN FACTOR RELEVANTE EN EL DESARROLLO DEL PROYECTO DE UN BUQUE

Abstract

In this paper an experimental study appears about the behavior of a model subject to the progressive flood of its compartments. The study consists of several tests by means of which one or more compartments are flooded using circular openings, and of other forms, with different dimensions. In every test the domain of the time the draw and the angles of roll and pitch are measured. Bearing these movements in mind the volume and water quantity is estimated inside the compartment. This information serves to obtain the hydraulic coefficient associated with the openings of the model. These coefficients can be used later to calibrate programs of calculation to the progressive flooding in the ships. Keywords: Hydraulic coefficient, flooding, Ship project
