Waterplane Sheet (English Units)
Description:
For a given input waterline this spreadsheet
computes hydrostatic waterplane area characteristics
relating to station half beam inputs. Basically it sums the
area under a half beam (or waterline) curve to obtain the waterplane area,
it takes moments to obtain the longitudinal center of floatation and
computes moments of inertia in both the transverse and longitudinal
directions.
If the input waterline is level, the data obtained may be used as an
input source for a vessel's "Curves of Form." Inputs are
based on a Lines Drawing with ten stations starting at zero and ending at
Station Ten. This Lines Drawing has customary half stations at each
end to compensate for vessel fineness. The numerical integrations
contained in these calculations are based on Simpson's Rules.
Though optional, this spreadsheet is best utilized in
conjunction with a Displacement
Sheet (Product Disp-e)
and Waterline Input/Output Sheet (Product
WL-IO-e).
A further enhancement is dynamically combining this sheet along with a
Displacement Sheet and a Waterline Input/Output Sheet. The product that combines
all these sheets together is called a Waterline Hydrostatics Data Sheet
(Product WL-hydro-e). This
later enhanced combination facilitates faster and easier
computation for a given waterline. In the combined case, calculations
are more automated, significantly minimizing the data entry input time.
