Abstract

In recent years, experimental results obtained by means of the wake survey method have indicated that the viscous drag of a ship model varies with the Froude number; later studies have tended to confirm these findings. The present work was undertaken to establish the validity of this variation. In order to avoid the principal sources of inaccuracy of previous work, modifications to the equipment were made. Also, to obtain viscous drag, the authors applied a refinement of the Betz-Tulin formula.
