Naval Architecture
Long-tail route · physical intuition
Use this when buoyancy and hull stability need a visual mental model.
Naval architecture explainer covering buoyancy, hull form, stability, free-surface effects, waves, and propulsion force decomposition.
At a glance
Live interactive
The maintained version lives at the route linked here, with this garden note keeping the embed and editorial framing.
Best companion
Pair it with [[Airfoil]] when you want another fluid-and-shape explainer where geometry changes the forces you see.
Time and level
About 12 to 18 minutes. Intermediate. Best when you want a slower physical-intuition route outside the flagship mechanical notes.
