calcCb.Rd
Calculates the maximum block coefficient (Cb
)
(dimensionless) based on a ship's maximum displacement and and maximum draft.
calcCb(maxDisplacement, lwl, breadth, maxDraft)
maxDisplacement | Maximum ship displacement (vector of numericals, m^3) |
---|---|
lwl | Waterline length (vector of numericals, m) (see |
breadth | Moulded breadth (vector of numericals, m) |
maxDraft | Maximum summer load line draft (vector of numericals, m) |
Cb
(vector of numericals, dimensionless)
The block coefficient is the ratio of the vessel's displacement and its
volume, defined by its waterline length (lwl
), breadth, and draft:
$$Cb=\frac{displacement}{lwl*breadth*draft}$$
This function returns the maximum block coefficient (Cb
), which is the
ratio of the vessel's maximum displacement and it's maximum volume, defined by
its waterline length (lwl
), breadth, and maximum draft:
$$Cb=\frac{maxDisplacement}{lwl*breadth*maxDraft}$$
