Freeboard and Reserve Buoyancy Calculator
Freeboard and Reserve Buoyancy: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers hull depth. Stub page: the tool, its formula and a worked example are not published yet.
Freeboard and Reserve Buoyancy Calculator is a planned calculator in the transport section of Super Calculator, covering design ratios.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: hull depth, draft and hull volume distribution.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Reserve buoyancy = volume above the waterline divided by total enclosed volume.
Safety note: reserve buoyancy governs swamping resistance.
