How to Calculate Average Current Speed for Form Drag of Vessel?
Average Current Speed for Form Drag of Vessel calculator uses Longshore Current Speed = sqrt(Form Drag of a Vessel/0.5*Water Density*Form Drag Coefficient*Vessel Beam*Vessel Draft*cos(Angle of the Current)) to calculate the Longshore Current Speed, The Average Current Speed for Form Drag of Vessel formula is defined as parameter influencing longitudinal current loads on ships and form drag due to flow of water past vessel's cross-sectional area. Longshore Current Speed is denoted by V symbol.
How to calculate Average Current Speed for Form Drag of Vessel using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Average Current Speed for Form Drag of Vessel, enter Form Drag of a Vessel (Fc, form), Water Density (ρwater), Form Drag Coefficient (Cc, form), Vessel Beam (B), Vessel Draft (T) & Angle of the Current (θc) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Average Current Speed for Form Drag of Vessel calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1434.844 = sqrt(150/0.5*1000*5*2*1.68*cos(1.15)).
