Introduction to Design Waterline
Design waterline refers to the waterline when the ship reaches the design draft. After the cross-sectional area curve is determined, properly designing the waterline to match it is an important guarantee for designing a good profile. The design waterline shape is determined by the waterline area coefficient, the length of the parallel middle section, the half-inflow angle, the half-deflow angle, the drift center position, and the shape of the head and tail ends. In addition, the characteristics and parameters of the design waterline must also be considered in conjunction with the UV degree of the cross-section line.
