ESTIMATION OF GREAT LAKES BULK CARRIER RESISTANCE BASED ON MODEL TEST DATA REGRESSION

Tank data have been collected, analyzed, and standardized for 50 tests of Great Lakes bulk carriers. Regression analysis has been applied in order to estimate the coefficient of residuary resistance of such vessels in terms of their nondimensional form parameters. The results are presented for Froude numbers from 0.11 to 0.18 in the form of coefficients obtained by three different regressions, and in the form of charts at Froude numbers 0.14 and 0.16. Examples illustrate the use of the regression formulas in estimating the full-scale resistance.
