V = Speed of ship in knots
Cb Cb = Block coefficient
S2 = Velocity return factor = S / (1 - S)
S = Blockage factor = As / Ac (0.10 to 0.30)
As = Midship immersed cross-sectional area of the ship
Ac = Cross-sectional area of the channel = h * W
h = Water depth (meters)
T T = draught (meters)
h B = breadth (meters)
UK = Underkeel clearance (meters)
W = Width of channel (meters)
UK Wi = Width of influence = 7.7 + 45 * (1 - Cw)^2
Cw = Water plane area coefficient

W = Wi * B (for open waters)
