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
