| Popis: | Hydrostatic pressure is one of the most elementary notions encountered in the fields of naval architecture and marine engineering. Its presentation in textbooks is not always clear, however, especially for floating bodies in the presence of waves. This brief article aims to clarify potential elements of confusion about hydrostatic pressure. Atmospheric pressure is duly considered at the air–water interface, and in the presence of waves, a consistent definition is possible that reconciles the points of view of naval architects performing hydrostatic calculations and of hydrodynamicists using, for example, potential theory. |
