WIND COEFFICIENTS FOR NINE SHIP MODELS

Four-component wind coefficients for nine ship models are presented with a short description of the test equipment and the boundary layers in model and full scale. Mention is made of two important secondary wind effects, viz. the effect of side forces results in increased resistance due to drift and the effect of drift angle is a drastic change in the wake pattern.
