An electronic speed control for the towing carriage of a ship-model testing tank

The need for data relating to fluid forces and moments has led to general acceptance of oscillatory testing of ship models. Although the technique is well established, certain problems still attend the interpretation of results. The nature of the difficulties is explained and they are elucidated by making allowance for time history effects, using functional analysis. Allowance for these effects in this way also establishes that certain results which have hitherto been assumed to require nonlinear representations are in fact capable of very accurate linear specification.

Standard Tests

This paper is an introduction to model test methods as a means of establishing the manoeuvring characteristics of ships. Consideration is first given to the reasons for the adoption of model techniques and the information to be obtained. The model techniques are considered under three sections: free models, constrained models and mathematical modelling. The standard tests employed are briefly described and the information that can be obtained, together with any problems. There is finally a short discussion of the problems of ship/model correlation.
