Block Coefficient (CB)

Compute CB directly from volume or estimate a target via Froude & speed.

Be consistent—CB uses the same L in both numerator & denominator.

Suggested target: CB ≈ (range )

Heuristic for early sizing & sanity checks. Refine with hydrostatics.

Tip: CB must be between 0 & 1. If you get an out-of-range value, double-check units & which L you used.
