THE EFFECT OF HULL ROUGHNESS ON WAVEMAKING RESISTANCE

This paper presents a comparison of results obtained with a smooth and a rough model of 0.65 block coefficient Series 60 form. Measurements of total resistance, sinkage, trim, and wave pattern resistance were made with both models. The results indicate that for this form, hull roughness caused a reduction of wave pattern resistance and a relationship between the variation of trim and wave pattern resistance has been found. /AUTHOR/
