 Problems with a Global Flood, 2nd edition
Woodmorappe performed such an analysis and came to the conclusion that the animals would take up 47% of the ark. In addition, he determines that about 10% of the ark was needed for food (compacted to take as little space as possible) and 9.4% for water (assuming no evaporation or wastage).
In conclusion, an ark of the size specified in the Bible would not be large enough to carry a cargo of animals and food sufficient to repopulate the earth, especially if animals that are now extinct were required to be aboard.
The ark would need to be well ventilated to disperse the heat, humidity, and waste products (including methane, carbon dioxide, and ammonia) from the many thousands of animals which were crowded aboard.

 Noah's Ark Search - Mount Ararat
If the ark did not land on the upper reaches of Ararat, but on some other smaller mountain, it would seem likely that the ark was used for shelter and fuel and did not survive the millenia since Noah's Flood.

Incidentally, the many small "parasite" cones on the slopes helps explain why the Ark may not have been destroyed over time by volcanic activity: the pressure was vented from those "parasite" cones, such that there was no single main cone from which magma would spew out and bury everything from the top down.
