True that bow is very pleasant indeed, especially front on. some of the pre WW2 ships are very elegant. I reckon there was some designer around...
p.s. thanks for the support tom!
Okay forget about the wave piercers then, that wasn't really what my question was about. though i was meaning the wave piercing hull you find on a...
due to the extra volume fore-body there is more buoyancy in the bow,you cannot dis agree. as a bow enters the wave the extra volume (buoyancy)...
no i mean the gain in reserve buoyancy.
In vessels such as the Axe bow design or wave piercing bows is there a way of calculating the advantage gained from the extra reserve buoyancy...
thanks, so does that mean what does change is the disc area ratio
sorry i don't sound very coherent. basically does the BAR of a CPP change as it pitch changes?
When sizing a propellor and a known Blade area ratio is required (from powering program) but a CPP is going to be fitted. At higher speeds to keep...
very informative answers, thank you, apologises for the mass generalisation.
i mean generally, when using VPP's wwhich aspects does it not analyse very easily. Or on the flip side what does it do really rather well?
why are the predictions given from VPP programs always faster than the prediction i calculated from a spreadsheet process?
