Hydrostatic Analysis

In order to ease the hydrostatic analysis process, this ship’s design was enlarged 30 times. Comparison of dimensions, wetted surface area (WSA), volume, and displacement between scaled ships and ship prototypes are listed in the table below. The principal dimension scale does not apply to all quantities. To calculate other variables such as speed and force, we use the comparison formula of the scale factor based on Froude’s law about the similarity of geometric, kinematic and dynamic aspects in both objects.

Then, the scaled model was imported in the maxsurf software to analyze its hydrostatic properties. the ship’s model and the results of the hydrostatic calculation are in the picture below
