Resistance test

Level begin

 

In these tests, a scaled – down model of a ship is constructed. By towing the  model by a carriage along a towing tank, at various speeds, the towing forces can be measured by a dynamometer. Using dimensional analysis together with Froude theory, the corresponding forces for real size ship at various speeds can be estimated.

This test is called a resistance test. It is basically used to design the hull of vessels or  to calculate the power required for engine of the vessel.
