Geometric design block coefficient (CB0) was chosen as main parameter in determining the gulet hull forms.
where (b, c, p) indicates block, coefficient, and bitplane parameters, respectively.
The most important coefficient of form is the block coefficient defined as the ratio of the displacement volume to the product of ship length, breadth and draught.
The chapter closes with a discussion on six correction methods: depth correction, block coefficient (Cb) correction, bow height correction, superstructure correction, sheer correction, and strength correction.
For a chosen type of ship, the methods provide information on the relations between length, breadth, height, draught, speed, displacement, block coefficient, and TEU capacity.
Beam to draft ratio (B/T), length to beam ratio (L/B), block coefficient (CB) and stem angle were selected as geometric parameters for hull form development.
The effect of EEDI with respect to vessels draft, type of fuel, block coefficient, specific fuel consumption (SFC) and power has also been investigated.
The proposed hardware architecture is shown in Figure 2. The architecture consists of two basic blocks: coefficient add/sub and tap adder.
The results are given as closed-form expressions and the required input information for the procedure is restricted to the main dimensions: length, breadth, draught, block coefficient and water plane area together with speed and heading.
