Calculate the submerged volume of floating body

mo_na · August 22, 2016, 08:33

Hey everyone,

I would like to calculate the submerged volume of a floating body (in my case a body pitching around a hinge).
It doesn't need to be at runtime. For me it would be enough to calculate it in its rest position at the beginning of the simulation.
The reason why I want to do this is that the rest angle I obtain during a free decay test doesn't match the rest angle that I calculated before using the submerged volume I got from Wamit. Thats why I want to check now if the submerged volume is how its supposed to be.

I would very much appreciate any help!
Cheers,
Mona

Hello Mona,
Have you figured it out how to calculate the underwater volume or volume of some body in paraview or openfoam.
I am having a DTC Hull and want to calculate the volume of the hull.
