Flume Roll Damping

A FLUME® roll damping system is a passive free surface open channel type anti-roll tank. It has the unique ability to adapt to changes in load and operation conditions. By a simple change in the liquid level, the natural response period of the tank can be adjusted to the roll period of the ship. However, obtaining and maintaining the correct operational condition of the stabilizer is difficult at sea due to the constant and turbulent movement of the liquid within the tank. FLUME® has developed the Liquid Level & Roll Period Indicating System and the Phase Sensing System to monitor the movement and control the anti-roll tank to assist the crew in achieving the most effective roll stabilization.
