POWER PREDICTIONS FOR A VEHICLE CARGO SHIP (T-LSV-RO/RO) REPRESENTED BY MODEL 4937,

Abstract

TMB Model 4937 was constructed to represent a vehicle cargo ship (T-LSV-RO/RO). Model experiments were conducted to predict powering characteristics, bilge keel orientation, strut twist angles, and velocity survey in way of propeller. The Taylor ratio curve indicates this hull was abot 3 percent better than Taylor's at the design speed-length ratio of 0.877. This hull can attain the design speed of 20 knots with prototypes of the stock propellers absorbing 14,220 shp at 117 rpm. (Author)
