So, I have baffles in my water tanks (dont know about my fuel tanks) which hold 20 ton. At night on anchor I can hear the water sloshing.. BUT my question is, what is the effect of the momentum of water sloshing. I have two 10 ton liquid holds which I normally fill with sea water for ballast. However they are NOT baffled. So, if I have one with only 5 tons in it, about 75% of that weight will slide side to side. When it 'hits' the sides, it must impart force on the boat causing a heel. Is this considered in Free Surface Effect? Or does the mass of the liquid have to be a significant percentage of the vessel. My boat is 180 tons or so. I dont know how to measure how much it weighs I'll be honest. So the water is only about 2.5% of the mass of the vessel.
This is certainly worth watching. It's packed with much good infromation. However (in sert back handed comments) If the speaker was more comfortable with the subject matter . The presentation might go smoother. I did learn all ideas.Thanks now I think I could design a self righting vessel . I want to travel the great lakes in a small boat . I don't have a fear of bad weather .I headed out to fish in gale force winds (lake Michigan).
THANK YOU SO MUCH, SIR!
