Benchmark Study of Ship Model Resistance Test

A benchmark test will insure that the equipment, procedures, and uncertainty estimates are adequate. The experiments of a well-known bulk carrier bare hull shape (the model LHI-007) has been set up and conducted at towing tank Indonesian Hydrodynamic Labotatory. The aim of the present study is to contribute data of the surface ship resistance model-scale database in calm water on one hand, and on the other – reliable Experimental Fluid Dynamics (EFD) data, as part of an internal benchmark test. Conclusions are made with regard to the available data and past uses and recommendations are provided for future uses of the available data and future data procurement.
