Analysis of SES Model Wavemaking Resistance Using Longitudinal-Cut Wave Height Data,

Abstract

Calm water resistance tests on an L/B = 3.78 SES model were conducted in the Langley Field Towing Basin. During these tests model generated wave height data were taken along a line parallel to the model path. Results of this data at one speed are analyzed by the truncation correction method and the finite integral method to determine wavemaking resistance. The results are compared with resistance measurements and with the wavemaking predicted by a theoretical method. (Author)
