Waterline Length of Vessel given Reynolds Number Formula Elements

Variables
Functions
Waterline Length of a Vessel
Waterline Length of a Vessel is the length of a ship or boat at the level where it sits in the water.
Symbol: lwl
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Reynolds Number
The Reynolds Number is the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces within a fluid which is subjected to relative internal movement due to different fluid velocities.
Symbol: Re
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Kinematic Viscosity in Stokes
Kinematic Viscosity in Stokes is defined as the ratio between the dynamic viscosity μ and the density ρ of the fluid.
Symbol: ν'
Measurement: Kinematic ViscosityUnit: St
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Average Current Speed
Average Current Speed for propeller drag refers to calculating propeller drag in water depending on factors, including the type of vessel, size and shape of propeller, and operating conditions.
Symbol: Vc
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/h
