PROPULSION IN SERVICE CONDITIONS, INFLUENCE OF HULL DETERIORATION, WAVES, WIND AND STEERING

In this paper several different aspects of ship propulsion in a seaway and resistance in still water and a seaway are discussed with respect to energy conservation. Theoretical studies and experimental investigations in the following areas are reviewed; 1. Resistance Components and Added Resistance due to Wind and Steering. 2. Added Resistance due to Waves. 3. Effect of Sea Spectra on Added Resistance. 4. Influence of Parameter Variations on Motions and Added Resistance. 5. Added Resistance in Short Waves. 6. The Importance of Added Resistance for Energy Conservation. 7. Free Surface Effects on Propeller Characteristics. 8. Ventilation and Partly Submerged Propellers. 9. Open Water Tests in Waves. 10. 10. Propulsion with Restricted Immersion. 11. Propulsion in Waves. 12. Power Increase Due to Loss of Propeller Efficiency. 13. Roughness Definitions. 14. Propeller Surfaces. 15. Changes in Propeller Characteristics Due to Roughness. 16. Hull Surfaces. 17. Influence of Roughness and Fouling on the Ship Performance.
