Abstract

The model test results are the basis for a hull-propeller interaction design premisses and make it possible to prepare a powering parameters trial prediction. Only after performance of the Sea Trials Tests can one verify an accuracy of prediction. In this paper authors presented and compared model test results with Ship Trial Test results on three vessels of the same type. 1 Introduction Ship model tests are basis for preparing the full scale vessel powering trial prediction ( TP ). But one must remember that due to Reynolds scale effects, when measured model data are extrapolated in order to make full scale ship prediction, serious uncertainties are introduced and there is not a straightforward way to correlate crucial self-propulsion parameters [1].
