Artificial seawater or ASW is a mixture of dissolved salt chemistry mineral salts and sometimes vitamin s that simulates seawater . Artificial seawater is primarily used in marine biology and marine aquarium marine aquaria , and allows the easy preparation of growth medium media appropriate for marine organism s including algae , bacteria , plant s and animal s . From a scientific method scientific perspective , artificial seawater has the advantage of reproducibility over natural seawater.

Permeability of a space in a ship is the percentage of empty volume in that space. Permeability is used in ship survivability and damaged stability calculations in ship design. In this case, the permeability of a space is a percentage from 0 to 100. Alternately, the permeability may be a coefficient from 0 to 1. The permeability of a space is the percentage of volume of the space which may be occupied by seawater if the space is flooded. The remaining volume not filled with seawater being occupied by machinery, cargo, accommodation spaces, etc. Example Typical values from the International Bulk Chemical Code are 0.95 for voids empty spaces , tanks, and living spaces 0.85 for machinery spaces 0.60 for spaces allocated to stores. This implies that for damaged stability calculation purposes, machinery spaces are only 15 full with machinery by volume 100 85 15 .
