Resistance Test |
Resistance
and Propulsion
Oceanic conducts model scale resistance and propulsion experiments
on all types of marine vessels, including: motor yachts, cruise
ships, large icebreakers, ferries, tugboats, trawlers, warships,
floating production storage and offloading systems, life rescue
crafts, and numerous other seagoing vessels. Model testing for
resistance and propulsion is significant for fine-tuning the operation
of a vessel to meet its mission.
Resistance experiments in model scale are used to predict resistance
and effective horsepower of a vessel. Propulsion experiments are
carried out in conjunction with resistance experiments to predict
the required shaft horsepower of a vessel. All experiments conducted
by Oceanic are in accordance with the recommendations of the International
Towing Tank Committee (ITTC), which has published standard procedures
for these tests.
