2D plots

Lines plan and profile views

The combined plot gives the full naval architecture picture in one figure, and the focused panels below break it into body plan, waterlines, and profile views for easier reading on the web.

Body plan

Forebody and afterbody station shapes with equal scaling in beam and draft.

Waterlines

Half-breadth waterline curves from 0.075H up to the design waterline.

Profile

Sheer line, keel, and station references along the ship length.

Experimental results

Self-propulsion data for model 4210

The validation block combines the tabulated results with performance curves so the page can serve as both a geometry viewer and a compact benchmark dashboard.

3D hull

Waterline loft and surface mesh

The 3D gallery is staged as an immersive hull presentation: a mirrored full-hull surface for visual impact, followed by a lofted waterline reconstruction for checking the underlying geometry.

Signature view

Full hull surface

Port and starboard sides are mirrored into a complete hull view, with a highlighted design-waterline outline and a camera angle chosen to read more like a presentation model than a raw mesh export.

Geometry check

Waterline loft

A lofted reconstruction through the waterlines, shown as a full hull to make fairness and symmetry easier to read.
