Effect of Bow-Down Trim on the Resistance Characteristics of the AO 177 Hull Represented by Model 5326.

Abstract

Experiments were performed with a 1:25.682-scale model of the AO 177 to determine the effect of bow-down trim on the resistance of the hull. The three full-scale trim conditions represented were 1.5-foot (0.46 m) trim by the stern, 1.0-foot (0.3 m) trim by the bow, and 3.5-foot (1.07 m) trim by the bow. The results indicate a small increase in resistance at the 21.5-knot design speed with increasing trim by the bow. (Author)
