MOLINA PEREZ, Daniel; QUESADA TORRES, Amadelis; FEBLES MARTINEZ, Yohelvis A.  e  RAMOS ARZOLA, Lemuel C.. The simulation in the design of hydraulic naval systems. riha [online]. 2017, vol.38, n.2, pp.29-43. ISSN 1680-0338.

Naval hydraulic systems are pipe networks which intervene in most of the functions of a ship. This paper describes the design of a bilge and fire protection system for a ship, which is simulated with the EPANET software, in order to demonstrate the feasibility of the design of marine hydraulic systems based on computer simulation. It is concluded that integrating simulation to the design of these networks allows to configure systems so that the flow variables are within the recommended ranges and regulations; enables recreation of different system scenarios as well as variants analysis and gradual design; prevents selection of oversized or erroneous components thus allowing optimization of weights and costs of the systems.

Palavras-chave : EPANET; simulation of naval systems; fire protection systems on ships; bilge systems; piping systems on ships.
