Passenger evacuation simulation considering the heeling angle change during sinking
International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2019 In order to simulate the evacuation simulation of a ship during a sinking, the slope angle change of the ship must be reflected during the simulation. In this study, the passenger evacuation simulation is implemented by continuously applying the heeling ...
