Research on Ship Hydrodynamics 1982-1984

Abstract

The following researches were conducted under this contract: (1) Measurements of the total and wake-survey viscous resistance of the Wigley ship form, with and without sinkage and trim restraints, (2) Measurements of the boundary layer and wake of the Wigley hull at various Froude numbers; comparison with computed boundary layer; application to computation of ship wave resistance including viscous effects, (3) Added moment-of-inertia of a rolling ship, low- frequency limit, and (4) Procedures for investigating existance and finding solutions for slender-body centerplane distributions; derivation of an exact slender-body solution for an ellipsoid.
