Abstract
In recent years, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has gradually introduced more stringent new Ship Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) bills, and transport ships are more inclined to reduce the speed and increase the length and square coefficient to meet the design requirements. However, the size of the ship model that can be accommodated in the towing tank is seriously limited. Under the action of the scale effect, the accuracy of the prediction results of the resistance performance of large ships is particularly prominent. To break through the limitations of the test site, a large-scale ship model resistance towing test system and data analysis method in the port were established. By comparing with the results of small-scale model tests in the towing tank, the applicability of the 1957 ITTC friction line and Grigson friction line in the resistance prediction of the full-formed ship was analyzed, and the scale effects of resistance components were also examined. The results show that the scale effect of the form factor of full-formed ships is weak. The three-dimension method based on the empirical formula of mixed-form friction resistance of ITTC-Grigson is more suitable for predicting the resistance performance of full-formed ships.
