Abstract
In this study, towing tank experiments have been carried out for a container ship under different trim-draft conditions. Experimental results have been interpreted together with the results of the Holtrop method used in both Maxsurf and Orca to identify reactions to changing trim conditions. The study has shown that towing tank experiment findings differ from other relevant findings. The ship shows different resistance characteristics under different trim conditions, but generally the least resistance without trim. In addition, the total resistance change at ship design speed was found to be up to 18% higher in the trim by aft condition. We believe that study findings will help better understand the constantly changing resistance variable depending on draft, speed, and trim conditions.
期刊介绍:
ToMS is a scientific journal with international peer review which publishes papers in the following areas: ~ Marine Engineering, ~ Navigation, ~ Safety Systems, ~ Marine Ecology, ~ Marine Fisheries, ~ Hydrography, ~ Marine Automation and Electronics, ~ Transportation and Modes of Transport, ~ Marine Information Systems, ~ Maritime Law, ~ Management of Marine Systems, ~ Marine Finance, ~ Bleeding-Edge Technologies, ~ Multimodal Transport, ~ Psycho-social and Legal Aspects of Long-term Working Aboard. The journal is published in English as an open access journal, and as a classic paper journal (in limited editions). ToMS aims to present best maritime research from South East Europe, particularly the Mediterranean area. Articles will be double-blind reviewed by three reviewers. With the intention of providing an international perspective at least one of the reviewers will be from abroad. ToMS also promotes scientific collaboration with students and has a section titled Students’ ToMS. These papers also undergo strict peer reviews. Furthermore, the Journal publishes short reviews on significant papers, books and workshops in the fields of maritime science.
