6. Water at What Depth?

The original depth from which the seawater is taken is not evident even though the inlet was located about 5m below the surface. To solve this problem, the Ship Research Institute conducted a model experiment and estimated the streamlines around the hull6). It was estimated that the water from depth at less than 1m comes to the inlet (Figure 6).
