Correlation of Model Experiments with Ship Powering Data for Three Tankers Represented by Models 9006, 9007, 9008, and 9009.
Abstract
Powering data from trials of three tankers have been correlated with predictions from experiments with four models, (one of the tankers being represented by two models of varying size). The correlation allowance ranged from -0.00015 to -0.0004. This range of correlation allowance is lower than anticipated, but is in agreement with an apparent trend of negative correlation allowances for modern tankers over 300 meters in length.
