Ship data are found later in this document. Values of some coefficients used in the resistance
and power prediction are given here. There is also an enclosure with formulas used in the
resistance and power prediction. What you find here is a guide on how to use those formulas.
The open water test has been given to you as part of the model data. You will need to
interpolate in the open water diagram as part of the analysis of the propulsion test. This can be
done manually on a printed diagram, or it can be done by in a spreadsheet or Matlab. A
description of how to do this in Excel follows.
Import the open water curve into Excel (or similar). Create third-order polynomials of J as
function of KT, and KQ as function of J. You can do this by creating a graph with the curve,
add a trend line, select polynomial as type of trend line, and select display equation on
graph. Make sure you show enough numbers for the parameters in the equation, for instance
by right-clicking the equation and selecting scientific with four digits as number format.

The hull model is towed by the carriage at which the total resistance is measured at different speeds.
The hull model is equipped with a rudder and a trip-wire at station 9 (19). The conversion from hull
model (m) into ship (s) is made by using the form factor method. In this method it is assumed that the
total resistance can be divided into two parts, represented by the viscous resistance and the residuary
(due to vorticity, wave making and wave breaking) resistance (CR). The viscous resistance is
determined by multiplying the frictional resistance (CF) with a constant form factor (ko), which is
identical for model and ship. Further, it is assumed that the residuary resistance (CR) is identical for
model and ship.

The hull model is supplied with a propelling machinery and a driving propeller. The rate of
revolution is regulated until the model is free relatively to the attached towing carriage. In order to
obtain turbulent flow around the model, a trip wire is placed at station 9 (19). To compensate the
difference between the frictional resistance of the model and the frictional resistance of the ship,
converted to model scale, the model is unloaded with a towing force in the direction of motion.
The towing force (FD) is calculated by the formula:

In the open water diagram KT and KQ are presented as functions of the advance coefficient (J). By
entering the open water diagram with the thrust coefficient (KT) measured during the propulsion
test, corresponding JO and KQO-values are obtained which are used to estimate wake fraction,
relative rotative efficiency, hull efficiency and quasi-propulsive coefficient.

The propeller model is driven by a dynamometer at which thrust, torque and rate of revolution are
recorded. The immersion of the propeller shaft is propeller diameter.
Test procedure:
The rate of revolution is kept constant and by varying the speed, we get the variation of the
advance coefficient (J). At each advance coefficient exact rate of revolution, (n), propeller thrust,
(T), and torque, (Q), are recorded. The results are presented dimensionless as:

PERFORMANCE PREDICTION DATE

The performance prediction is based on the assumption that the thrust deduction fraction, t, the
wake fraction w and the relative rotative efficiency, R, are free from scale effects.
From the total resistance of the ship, RTs, and the thrust deduction fraction, t, the following
relation is established:
KT RTs
= (nprop is number of propellers)
J 2
nprop (1 t ) D 2 Vs2 (1 ws )2
For each speed, the intersection point of the KT J2 curve given above with the open water
diagram is found. The advance coefficient J* at this point gives the rate of revolution:
60 (1 ws ) Vs
RPM =
D J*
The corresponding torque coefficient KQ, and the relative rotative efficiency, R, gives the
delivered power:
2 RPM 3 KQ
PD (kW ) = nprop D5 ( )
1000 60 R
The calculation is repeated for different speeds giving the speed/power curve for the actual pitch
ratio. An extrapolation of the open water diagram gives speed/power curves for different pitch
ratios. The final pitch ratio and speed/power curve is found by interpolation for the actual RPM
and power.
