Vessel Speed given Return Flow Velocity evaluator uses Vessel Speed = Return Flow Velocity/(((Channel Width corresponding to Mean Water Depth*Water Depth)/(Channel Width corresponding to Mean Water Depth*(Water Depth-Water Surface Drawdown)-Vessel’s Midsection Wetted Cross-Sectional Area))-1) to evaluate the Vessel Speed, The Vessel Speed given Return Flow Velocity formula is defined as ship speed or boat speed, is the rate at which a vessel travels through the water. At increasing distances from vessel, diffraction causes wave crest lengths to continually increase and resulting wave heights to continually decrease. Vessel Speed is denoted by Vs symbol.
How to evaluate Vessel Speed given Return Flow Velocity using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Vessel Speed given Return Flow Velocity, enter Return Flow Velocity (Vr), Channel Width corresponding to Mean Water Depth (W), Water Depth (D), Water Surface Drawdown (Δd) & Vessel’s Midsection Wetted Cross-Sectional Area (Am) and hit the calculate button.
