Topic-7 HYDROSTATIC PROPERTIES - 2 (DEFINITIONS)

Volume of Displacement ()

The volume of displacement is the total volume of the fluid displaced by the ship.
Volume of displacement is given by,
= ∆ /ρ
For seawater, ρ = 1.025 ton/m3

Displacement (∆)

Displacement is defined as the total mass of the ship when afloat including everything on board, which is equal to the weight of water displaced.
Displacement is given by,
∆ = Dead wt. + Light ship wt.

Longitudinal centre of buoyancy from midship (LCB)

The centre of volume of fluid displaced by a ship is known as the centre of buoyancy; its projection in the plan is known as longitudinal centre of buoyancy. It is given as distance forward or aft of midship and is represented by the longitudinal centroid of the curve of immersed cross-sectional areas.

Vertical centre of buoyancy above base line (VCB)

The centre of volume of fluid displaced by a ship is known as the centre of buoyancy; its projection in the section is known as vertical centre of buoyancy. It is given as the distance above the keel denoted by KB and is represented by the vertical centroid of the Water plane area curve.
By Morrishes approximate formula;
VCB below the waterline = 1/3(d/2+∇/AW)
Where, d = draught in m
            = volume of displacement in m3
               AW = Water plane area in m2

Water plane area (AW)

Water plane area is the area of the horizontal plane which passes through a floating ship on a level with the waterline. The water plane area at any draught is calculated by sympsonising the half breadths at ordinate stations.

Longitudinal centre of floatation from midship (LCF)

Longitudinal centre of floatation is the centroid of the water plane and is the axis about which a ship changes trim when a mass is added, removed or moved longitudinally.

Tonne per centimeter immersion (TPC)

The tonne per centimeter immersion of a ship at any given draught is the mass required to increase the mean draught by 1 centimeter.
TPC = (AW*ρ)/100
For seawater ρ = 1.025 ton/m3
TPC in sea water = 0.01025×AW

Moment of inertia (I)

The second moment of area of a water plane, commonly known as moment of inertia, is a measure of the resistance of a water plane to a change in its state of rest. The moment of inertia is found by putting the cube of the half breadths through Simpson’s multipliers. The sum of these products is multiplied by h/3, by two for both sides and by 1/3 which is a factor in water plane inertia.
Moment of inertia is the mass property of a rigid body that defines the torque needed for a desired angular acceleration about an axis of rotation. Moment of inertia depends on the shape of the body and may be different around different axes of rotation. A larger moment of inertia around a given axis requires more torque to increase the rotation, or to stop the rotation, of a body about that axis. Moment of inertia depends on the amount and distribution of its mass, and can be found through the sum of moments of inertia of the masses making up the whole object, under the same conditions.

Moment to change trim by 1 cm (MCTI)

Moment to change trim by 1 cm is the change of trim in inches, caused by the application of a moment.
MCT1 cm = (∆*GML )/12L

Metacentre (M)

The metacentre is the point of intersection of the normal to a slightly inclined water plane of a body, rotated without change of displacement, through the centre of buoyancy pertaining to that water plane through the center of buoyancy pertaining to the upright condition.
Its projection in plan and section are known as longitudinal and transverse metacentre respectively.

Meta-centric height (GM)

The meta-centric height (GM) is a measurement of the initial static stability of a floating body. It is calculated as the distance between the centre of gravity of a ship and its metacentre. A larger meta-centric height implies greater initial stability against overturning. Meta-centric height also has implication on the natural period of rolling of a hull, with very large meta-centric heights being associated with shorter periods of roll.
Transverse meta-centric radius (BMT)                        =                      IT/
                                               
Longitudinal meta-centric radius (BML)                     =               ILCF/                                                 
Transverse meta-centre above base line (KMT)           =                     KB + BMT
                                                           

Longitudinal meta-centre above base line (KML)       =                     KB + BML

Wetted surface area of the hull (S)

The wetted surface area of a ship is the area of the ship’s hull which is in contact with water. This area may be found by putting the transverse girths of the ship, from water line to water line, through Simpson’s rule and adding about ½ percent to allow for the longitudinal curvature of the shell.     
Formulae for wetted surface area are;
Denny’s formula:                 
S= (1.7*L*T) + /T
S= c (∇*L)1/2
Taylor’s formula:                  
Where, S= wetted surface area in m2,   L= length of barge in m, T=draught in m, =volume of displacement in m3, C=coefficient which depends on shape of the ship.
and coefficient of forms which we have discussed in Topic - 2
