    This document outlines the requirements for Project #2 on hydrostatics. Students are provided a 3D model file containing hull section points and curves. They must: 1. Approximate the hull points with smooth curves that have uniform control point distribution and curvature. 2. Interpolate the smooth sections to create a smooth hull surface, except for the stern. 3. Compute the hydrostatic characteristics at 5 waterlines, including displacement, centers of buoyancy/flotation, wetted surface area, and waterplane area. Students must submit modified 3D model files and reports describing their work. The project aims to smooth hull representations and calculate hydrostatic properties.

    Project #2: Hydrostatics
    Date issued: September 22, 2014
    Date due: October 1, 2014
    The file hull.3dm contains the hull sections in the form of points and curves1, as well as the
    profiles of the bow and stern. Using Rhinoceros implement the following tasks:
    1. Approximate the given hull points with smooth curves (ship sections), which have
    uniform distribution of control points along their length, and smooth distribution of
    curvature without unnecessary inflection points. The smoothed ship sections should be
    as close as possible to the original ones.
    Deliverables: The .3dm file that contains the original and smooth ship sections. A technical
    report describing the steps that you follow and also 3D snapshots of the ship sections with
    the curvature graph on (Display scale = 105).
    2. By interpolating the smooth ship sections create a surface that is smooth everywhere
    except from the stern area.
    Deliverables: The .3dm that contains 3D model for the ship hull. A technical report
    describing the steps that you follow; 3D snapshots of the ship hull model and 3D snapshots
    of the surface curvature (curvature range 0.05).
    3. Compute the hydrostatic characteristics (displacement; center of flotation; horizontal
    and vertical position of the center of buoyancy, wetted surface; waterplane area) for 5
    waterlines, which are uniformly distributed over the vertical direction.
    Deliverables: Hydrostatic diagram.
    The 3dm files should be emailed to the instructor with the filename format:
    !_!_x.3dm where x is 1 for the ship sections and 2 for the 3 model.

    The hull data used in this project is a modification from a hull used in a CAD/CAM project by Prof. Kaklis and
    Dr. Gkinis - School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering at National Technical University of Athens.
