Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Cage nominal diameter = 20
- Netting porosity (fractional) = 0.3
Expected Result:
- Internal water volume = 2932.1531433505
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Internal water volume = 2932.1531433505 m^3.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
internal water volume = (4.0/3.0) * 3.14159265358979 * pow(cage nominal diameter/2.0, 3) * (1.0 - fractional)Internal water volume.
