Ship Squat Calculations
W
B
V = Speed of ship in knots
Cb Cb = Block coefficient
S2 = Velocity return factor = S / (1 - S)
S = Blockage factor = As / Ac (0.10 to 0.30)
As = Midship immersed cross-sectional area of the ship
Ac = Cross-sectional area of the channel = h * W
h = Water depth (meters)
T T = draught (meters)
h B = breadth (meters)
UK = Underkeel clearance (meters)
W = Width of channel (meters)
UK Wi = Width of influence = 7.7 + 45 * (1 - Cw)^2
Cw = Water plane area coefficient

(in the coloured areas only) These are the calculated values :
Cb = 0.8 Block coeffecient For confined For open waters

B= 30 Breadth Ac = 4800 Ac = 262.59
T= 13 Draft As = 390 As = 390
h= 16 Depth of water S= 0.08125 S= 0.0495
W= 300 Channel width S2 = 0.08843537415 S2 = 0.0521
W is to be filled in confined channels only. Cw to be filled for open waters only.
