Abstract
The amount of oil outflow to still water from an inclined bottom damaged model tank with a double hull was measured. The 1/50 scale model tank simulated the midship section of a VLCC. The oil outflow occurred due to the difference between the static pressure in the tank and the surrounding water at the bottom damage, and the displacement by water of oil contained in the double hull space below the damage. The experimental results showed that the amount of oil outflow is increased with the increasing difference between draught and oil level and the amount of oil outflow from the inclined double hull tank is larger than the non-inclined double hull tank. A method to predict the amount of oil outflow was applied to the inclined tank. The predicted and experimental results showed satisfactory agreement.
