Introduction
acceleration
Ship types
1. Conventional / displacement type
2. Planing craft
3. Hydrofoil craft
2. Residuary Resistance – RR
3. RT = RF + RR
4. Viscous resistance – RV
If longitudinal
component is
opposing we get
resistance Rp
ship speeds
Wave Breaking Resistance
1.Stagnation point – Bow Crest forms
2.Increases and breaks Bow Wave - eddies are
formed
3.Very small compared to the frictional
resistance
Spray resistance
Planing craft
Other components
1. Appendages – Bossing, shaft, bracket, bilge keel, rudder
etc
2. Roughness resistance – corrosion/ biological weeds/
barnacles – fouling
3. Dry docking to clean the ship
Air resistance – no wind
4. F prop to v2
5. Steering resistance – single screw propeller – asymmetric
fluid motion – moment caused- counteracted by the
rudder – resistance
Waterways resistance
buoyancy reduces
