Model Tests of Ship Resistance
• Model tests are widely used in the design and study of large engineering constructions, such as harbor, breakwater, bridge constructions, and ship buildings.
•
•A ship model is geometrically similar to its prototype. The size of the model is usually much smaller than that of the ship.
•
•Ship model tests are employed to predict the resistance, the interaction between the hull and the propeller, seakeeping properties of a ship, etc. Therefore, model tests are very important in ship design and ship research. Here we focus on model resistance tests.
