In order to gain advanced understanding of the mechanism of the submerged oil leakage from damaged tankers subjected to wave-excited motions, a three-dimensional (3D) full scale numerical model is developed in this paper. The model is based on the three-phase Navier-Stokes equation and the continuit...
