Abstract
This chapter is dedicated to the experimental results of resistance, sinkage, trim, and self-propulsion tests of the KCS hull form. The KCS was conceived to provide data for both explication of flow physics and CFD validation for a modern container ship with a bulbous bow. The Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean engineering (KRISO) performed towing tank experiments to obtain resistance, mean flow data and free surface waves. Self-propulsion tests were carried out at the National Maritime Research Institute (NMRI) and later, additional resistance tests were also reported in Gothenburg 2010 Workshop on CFD in ship hydrodynamics. The main information of the KCS hull and its propeller is introduced in Sect. 1.1 and then the results of resistance and hull attitudes measurement are followed by self-propulsion results and some local flow measurements.
