Understanding and calculating marine displacement is essential for the design and operation of ships. This tutorial delves into the formulas and calculations associated with marine displacement, focusing on length, breadth, draft, and block coefficient.
DISPLACEMENT: Literally taken, displacement refers to the cubic feet or cubic meters of water that are "displaced" when the vessel floats. For a given weight, the amount of water that is displaced in order to float the vessel will vary according to the salinity or density of the water.
14 lis 2006 · One small question: how is the hull displacement calculated? You need to know waterline length, waterline beam, and body draught amidships (just body, not total draught under the keel). Then you need the "Block coefficient" which may vary a lot depending on hull forms.

A semicircle cross section is assumed where Draft= BWL / 2 and CSA = (pi * Draft^2) / 2. If "Use minimum wetted surface" is not checked then CSA must be entered manually and BWL is used only to calculate "Length-to-Beam ratio"; the shape of the cross section is up to you! LB is always derived and cannot be input.
At last we can do our displacement estimation. In the next formula, 2 is for two hulls and 1025 is the density of sea water (kg/m3). Loaded displacement mass in kg's is: Length/displacement -ratio, LDR, is a tool to evaluate our loaded displacement value.
A displacement hull is a boat hull design that uses buoyancy to support its weight. It lies partially submerged and displaces water when moving, hence its name. The amount of water it displaces is equal to its weight.
