HULL FORM RESEARCH WITH A FLEXIBLE MODEL,

Abstract

A project of finding the effect of the change in sectional area curve of a ship model upon resistance has been initiated at the David Taylor Model Basin by using a flexible model technique. In this technique a flexible model was built. The sectional area curve of this model can be readily changed from one form to another. Thus the necessity of building a large number of models in the above mentioned project has been eliminated. The design considerations and the details of construction of a flexible model, Model 4634, are given. The mechanical properties of this model have been found to be satisfactory. The results of a short experimental program of nine different forms are given. (Author)
