Mean Depth Calculator

Mean Depth Calculator calculator can be used to calculate the mean depth of a vessel by dividing its total volume by its surface area. This is useful in naval architecture and fluid mechanics for analyzing buoyancy and stability.

Calculation Formula

Mean Depth (D) = Volume / Surface Area

Where:
D = Mean Depth (m)
Volume = Total volume of the vessel (m³)
Surface Area = Total surface area of the vessel (m²)

Learn how to use the Mean Depth Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the total volume of the vessel in cubic meters (m³). This is the total space enclosed by the vessel.
  2. Enter the total surface area of the vessel in square meters (m²). This is the total area of all external surfaces of the vessel.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the mean depth.
  4. The mean depth will be displayed in meters (m).

Principle Explanation

The mean depth of a vessel is an important hydrostatic property that represents the average depth of the vessel. It is calculated by dividing the total volume of the vessel by its surface area. This value is particularly useful in naval architecture for analyzing buoyancy, stability, and other hydrostatic properties.

Applications

  • Naval architecture and ship design
  • Hydrostatic analysis of vessels
  • Calculating buoyancy and stability parameters
  • Volume and surface area estimations in engineering

Example

If a vessel has a total volume of 1000 m³ and a surface area of 200 m², the mean depth would be calculated as follows:

Mean Depth = 1000 m³ / 200 m² = 5 m
