User:ChrysalSnowlax/Hydrostatic properties

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hydrostatics is the branch of naval architecture which deals with the conditions under which a vessel is subjected to while at rest in water and its ability to remain afloat. [1] The parameters that determine the conditions of the vessel are called hydrostatic properties.[2]

List of main hydrostatic properties

[edit]
  • Volume Displacement
  • Mass Displacement
  • Block Coefficient
  • Tonnes per centimetre immersion (TPC)
  • Moment to Change Trim by 1 cm (MCT 1 cm)
  • Longitudinal Center of Buoyancy
  • Longitudinal Center of Floatation
  • Vertical Center of Buoyancy
  • Transverse Metacenter
  • Water Plane Area
  • Prismatic Coefficient
  • Waterplane Area Coefficient
  • Midship Sectional Area Coefficient
