Effective Horse Power (EHP)
EHP : The power required to move the ship hull at a given
speed in the absence of propeller action
(EHP is not related with Power Train System)
EHP can be determined from the towing tank experiments at
the various speeds of the model ship.
EHP of the model ship is converted into EHP of the full scale
ship by Froudes Law.

Components of Total Resistance

RT RV RW RA
RV : Viscous Resistance
RW : Wave Making Resistance
RA : Air Resistance
Viscous Resistance
- Resistance due to the viscous stresses that the fluid exerts
on the hull.
( due to friction of the water against the surface of the ship)
- Viscosity, ships velocity, wetted surface area of ship
generally affect the viscous resistance.
14
Components of Total Resistance
Wave-Making Resistance
- Resistance caused by waves generated by the motion of the ship
- Wave-making resistance is affected by beam to length ratio,
displacement, shape of hull, Froude number (ship length &
speed)
Air Resistance
- Resistance caused by the flow of air over the ship with no
wind present
- Air resistance is affected by projected area, shape of the ship
above the water line, wind velocity and direction
- Typically 4 ~ 8 % of the total resistance

- Low speed : Viscous R
- Higher speed : Wave-making R
- Hump (Hollow) : location is function of ship length

Why is a Golf Ball Dimpled?
Lets look at a Baseball (because thats what I have numbers
for)
At the velocities of 50 to 130 mph dominant in baseball the air passes
over a smooth ball in a highly resistant flow.
Turbulent flow does not occur until nearly 200 mph for a smooth ball
A rough ball (say one with raised stitches like a baseball) induces
turbulent flow
A baseball batted 400 feet would only travel 300 feet if it was smooth.
A non-dimpled golf ball would really hamper Tiger Woods long game

Viscous Flow around a ship
Tangential Component : CF
- Tangential stress is parallel to ships hull and causes
a net force opposing the motion ; Skin Friction
- It is assumed CF can be obtained from the experimental
data of flat plate.

- Relation between viscous flow and Reynolds number
Laminar flow : In laminar flow, the fluid flows in layers
in an orderly fashion. The layers do not mix transversely
but slide over one another.
Turbulent flow : In turbulent flow, the flow is chaotic and
mixed transversely.

Coefficient of Viscous Resistance (cont)
Normal Component
- Normal component causes a pressure distribution along the
underwater hull form of ship
- A high pressure is formed in the forward direction opposing
the motion and a lower pressure is formed aft.
- Normal component generates the eddy behind the hull.
- It is affected by hull shape.
Fuller shape ship has larger normal component than slender
ship.

Basic Theory Behind Ship Modeling
Modeling a ship
- It is not possible to measure the resistance of the full-scale ship
- The ship needs to be scaled down to test in the tank but
the scaled ship (model) must behave in exactly same way
as the real ship.
- How do we scale the prototype ship ?
- Geometric and Dynamic similarity must be achieved.

Example
Ship Length=100ft, Ship Speed=10kts, Model Length=10ft
