Compartment Permeability (SOLAS II-1)
Lookup of permeability μ by compartment type per SOLAS II-1 Reg 7-3 - the fraction of compartment volume that can actually flood.
Permeability μ
0.70 -
Note
Apply as fraction of geometric volume.
Formula, assumptions, and limits
Permeability is the space available for water after accounting for structure, machinery, and existing contents. SOLAS II-1 Reg 7-3 sets these defaults for probabilistic damage stability calculations.
