Hydrodynamic coefficients of manoeuvring for small vessels

Manoeuvring analysis of a small vessel is more complex as compared to the conventional merchant ship. For small vessels such as fishing vessels, those have a relatively small prismatic coefficient as compared to large ships, would have less restoring force. On the other hand, the hydrodynamic heelin...

Hydrodynamic coefficients of manoeuvring for small vessels
description Manoeuvring analysis of a small vessel is more complex as compared to the conventional merchant ship. For small vessels such as fishing vessels, those have a relatively small prismatic coefficient as compared to large ships, would have less restoring force.
