What Factors Affect Drag?
Drag is influenced by other factors including shape, texture, viscosity (which results in viscous drag or skin friction ), compressibility, lift (which causes induced drag ), boundary layer separation, and so on
How to Calculate Projected Area of Vessel above Waterline given Drag Force due to Wind?
Projected Area of Vessel above Waterline given Drag Force due to Wind calculator uses Projected Area of the Vessel = Drag Force/(0.5*Air Density*Coefficient of Drag*Wind Speed at Height of 10 m^2) to calculate the Projected Area of the Vessel, The Projected Area of Vessel above Waterline given Drag Force due to Wind formula is defined as the surface area of the part of the ship that is exposed to the wind. This area is significant because it directly affects the drag force exerted by the wind on the vessel. It is the parameter influencing the wind load the usual drag equation. Projected Area of the Vessel is denoted by A symbol.
How to calculate Projected Area of Vessel above Waterline given Drag Force due to Wind using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Projected Area of Vessel above Waterline given Drag Force due to Wind, enter Drag Force (FD), Air Density (ρair), Coefficient of Drag (CD') & Wind Speed at Height of 10 m (V10) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Projected Area of Vessel above Waterline given Drag Force due to Wind calculation can be explained with given input values -> 47.29855 = 37/(0.5*1.225*0.0025*22^2).
