TRODUCTION Form factors vere introduced about 25 years ago in fveryday toving, tank. vork. After the introduction it Cooke coneideesble efforts to prove that the use of the form factor. Lk Improved the accuracy of the spsed- pover predictions on the basis of wodel tests. Extensive nodel-ship correlation studies carried out by the Fie “in the period 1972-1978, (1,21, have shon that the use of sk reduced the dispersion in the pover Correlation coefficlents beyond doubt, but.the diftec~ Shee in. the scatter of the pover correlation coeffi iene ‘werwexis two. and. three dimensional methods sp~ feared "nor to be inpressive. The form factors used in these correlation studies vere determined by means of Prohasks's, wethod and were considered to be unaffected by the speed. This implies that neither Froude number, hoc Reynolds nunber effects on lek vere supposed to be presents The “sna inprovesent of the accuracy of the fover prediction by the introduction of 3 constant 1+k Jn conparison to putting ka0, indicates that it vill be even nore, difficult to show that small adaptations of fhe" form factor method vill Lead to better predictions by analysing the correlation of s2nples of wodel tests and ship trial data. Also in statistical pover prediction methods thé form factor. concept. haz played = certain cole because also here the vatious resistance components are connoaly described as a function of their respective governing parancters. For the viscous resistance of a ship's full the flat’ plate resistance multiplied by an enpicical forn factor is usually taken az e-g- in (3)4]- Also here Froude number and Reynolds “aunber effects are Sgnored. tn this paper a tentative Froude number dependency of the ‘form factor 4s derived and the results ace used in a'statistical resistance prediction method. ‘This statistical prediction eethod vas developed by means of regression analysis of the vave resistance for waclous Froude nuabers, including effects of bulbous dove. 2. INFLUENCE OF SPEED ON THE FORK FACTOR It is recognised on the basis of results of vake sur~ veye, that Froude number effects, ahd. probably Reynolds Runber effects as vell, are present on the form factor. Riso, geosin. tests and. model cests in tenk vater of Varying tenperature indicate that Lek should probably fot. be fegerded a a constant. Hovevery until nov & generally accepted procedure haz not come forvacd for Kodel-chip ‘extrapolation vith a speed dependent fora fector. Statistical checks on correlation data analysed by a pethod vith a speed dependent form factor vill probably fot shov spectacular {aprovenents due to the snall Froude number. ranges covered in ost commercial test progranaes and the probably veak and form dependent Reynolds nusber effects on Isk. Noreover, the scatter fn the ship trial data is rather large and big samples of correlation data are needed to prove statistically the significance of the aprovenents of the form factor adaptations. Therefore, At viNl be extrenely difficult to cosvince the clients of toving tanks that the introduction of a certain speed dependency in the form factor vill vlti- mately inprove the accuracy of the pover prediction: Apart from these considerat{fons there 1 the fundanen— tal question vhether of not the form factor can be treated a¢ 4 constant. Calculations, geosin measure ments, vake curveys and ceale effects on the extent and the. type of Elo separation indicate that the form Factor will depend on the Reynolds number. Despite this evidence there is no general trend or influence and probably the Reynolds auaber effect on Tek vill change from hull form to hull form. The liability to separa Con is thought to play an imporcant cole in the variation of the Reynolds unter effect on the form Stelctly peeking, the fore factor as detersined by Extcepolation to ‘zero Froude nunber te only wali for the lovest Froude munbers: Particularly a high speeds the viscous’ form eftect vill Se attected by feee suet fags Teecte Ge” gaves and toning tries I< ie Ineo celvable that the flow sround ships at high speeds con be rerscded siailac to thot ae santching Powe nusbers Particularly at speeds beyond the main hump at Fr=¥/{gL = 0.5 the running trim, a clearing transom and planing cLfects cause the flov to be quite different. Probably it partially explains vhy in earlier work on regression analysis of historic experinent data, [3,4], the suey cess of the pover prediction on the basis of a speed indegendent fore factor vas" only "moderate. st high speeds. There are savers] considerations that may help to establish s Froude number influence on the form factor! 1) Inthe planing condition, and even 4a the semi Planing ode "as vell, the sinkege becones negative and therefore the pressure under the ship must be igher “thon far ‘upetceam at. the seme levels The average local velocities vill be less then the ship's speed and a reduction of the frictional deag MALL “cesult. “This “fs equivalent to a reduction of the form factor. The flat bottom vaich carcies the ship velghe 12 similae toa flac plate indeed and a low tora effect vould not sea unnatural. 2) At speeds beyond the main hump at faq0.5 the area of the "vetted. surface starts to. become smaller and sealer. If in the analysis of the tect results the Actual. vetted ares reduction fz {gnored, the effect 4s identical toa reduced form effect. 3) Statistical correlation analyses by the ITTC on the basis of a fore factor independent of seale and speed have revealed that the predicted speed-pover curves ate Slightly steeper "than those actally observed on full scale ships, [5]- ‘This need not necessarily inply 2 speed influence on the form factor, because a rather coarse nodelling Of various hydeodynamie featuces vas made in the Snalyses of the correlation data. On the other hand, the departure of the slopes of Predicted and messured ship trial curves vould even Be greater if in the representation of the effects of the hull roughness, in vhich any speed influence was Sgnored, an appropriate increase of the rough Rees Sllovance ats funetion of the Reynolds number Would “have been incorporated. This deviation of the Flopes of the speed-pover curves suggests that en increase of the fore factor vith increasing Froude number maj be vell. present over the speed range considered in the correlation analyses of the ITTC- Because this study eainly concerned comercial ships, St can be deduced that the speed range must have extended” roughly {tor Fa-0.12 to 00.15. Soy this sturent suggests an fncreaze of sk over’ this speed range. 4) The free surface effects cause overspeeds along the nidbody vhere in general a vave trough iz formed When the transverse vaves attain a vave length in the order of the Length of the ship. The ship travels at “level running trim just before the sain hhunp speed is reached. Moreover, the pressure gradient in the afcer body Becomes. ‘nore pronounced vhen the velocities in the idbody increase due to the vaves around the ship. Thi suggests that the most predoainant changes in the level of the form factor vould occur at Froude unbers soncvhat below 0-5. 5) An argument for an appreciably lover form factor at speeds, beyond the main hump at Faa0.5 1s the nadel~ ship correlation and the experience vith the statis Ueal pover prediction method of [4]. Reliable full scale data, although rather scarce in this range of Speeds, are “often. Jere favourable than those pre- Gleted’ on the basis of elther aodel tests or the tatistical acthod of [4] Sf the lovespeed form fac~ tor is used in the extrapolation. This srgunent ts only valid if the seale effects on appendage drag have been taken into. account in an appropriate zanner. Othervise serious erroce can be introduced Unich prevent thet general conclusions ean be draun from the nodel-ship correlation as @ function of the Froude nunber. ‘These argusents suggest a Frode suaber dependency of the form factor as shovn in Fig. 1. In this figure the arbitrary assumption is incorporated to put lekel at Speeds Seyond the main hump, the sain practical reason for this sinplifseation being the ignorance of the low speed fore factor of this class of ship vhich has large In principle, the curve shovn in Fig. 1 can be estab- Lished from ‘a sufticiently large sample of model test results and corresponding ship trial data by ainisising the deviations betoeen, predicted and measured propul= sive perforeance.

Soy Gata of models of various sizes should preferably be Sheluded in the sasple- In. addition, sc fe a prerequisite that the vave resis- Kance andthe form effect depend on hull form pacae ters which are statistically independent. Probably, this is not true. In Fig. 2 the standard deviation between measured and calculated resistance o,, 1s shovn for various Froude nuabers favestigated as" function X. The variation of Y shove clear miniea for most Froude nusbers examined, particularly at the lovest speeds.

EFFECTS OF BULBOUS BOWS The design of bulbous bovs and the prediction of the ‘effects of & bulbous bov on the Fesistance is in many eases still "a non-rattonal procedure. Efforts to im- Prove this situation either concern the Use of computer Prograns based on source panel nethods az developed by Davson (see eng. Raven, (6]) or the systexatic geonet— rieal description and) classification of experimental results vith derived schenes for the design of bulbous bovs, [7]. It is expected that a successful prediction of effects of 2. bulbous tov can not be made on the Basis of very Linited musber of globel fore coeffi- cients. The rerults presented in this section should therefore not be treated ex an accurate description of the effects of a bulbous box, but rather as'a first ertisation, “which should be” refined and verified by further calculations and model experiments.

An inprovenene of the descrip ton of the effect of a bulbous tov was the introduc ton of hull fore parameters vhich reflect the forvard sinkage of the ship, [8].
