INVESTIGATION ON COMPONENTS OF SHIP RESISTANCE

The results of a decade of research on the separate measurements of the various components of resistance are summarized. Theoretical bases and equipment and experimental procedures developed for determining the viscous, wave, and bilge vortex resistance, as well as some preliminary results on 'blockage effect', are mentioned.
