Body Shape Coefficients

The shape coefficients are defined by Holtrop & Mennen, References 1 and 2. They range between -10 for a "V" shaped form to +10 for a "U" form. Normal forms should be given a value of zero. Use the slider bars, or click on the direction arrows to adjust the values.

Note:
Only the powering calculations as specified by Holtrop & Mennen, References 1 and 2 and Guldhammer & Harvald, References 3 make use of these shape coefficients.
