A Ship’s Hydrostatic Curves: Projections of Stability and Trim Threshold of a Proven Ship Design
A Naval Architect derives the hydrostatic curves of a ship from the lines drawing designs. The hydrostatic curve is a calculation of the underwater volume of the hull that supports buoyancy so the ship can float freely on the surface of the water. The immersed underwater volume of the hull of the ship displaces a volume of water in cubic…
