EFFECT OF PRINCIPAL PARTICULARS ON THE PROPULSIVE PERFORMANCE OF FULL HULL FORMS

Systematic series model tests were performed for full hull forms, with varying block coefficients, length-breadth ratios, breadth-draugth ratios and longitudinal positions of centre of buoyancy. The tests were carried out in the No. 1 Tank of the Shipbuilding Reseach Centre of Japan. This paper deals with a part of these test results and discusses the effect of varying the above-mentioned parameters upon the propulsive performance of single-screw full hull forms. Tankers from 240m to 360m length were represented, and a Froude No. of 0.16 was adopted for the analysis of data. Order from BSRA as No. 53,368.
