A statistical approach for estimating intervals of certification or biases of facilities or measurement systems including uncertainties is set forth based on M×N-order level testing, which is defined as M repetitions of the same N-order level experiment in M different facilities or in the same facility with M different measurement systems. In the absence of reference values, the mean facility or measurement system is used for assessing intervals of certification or biases. Certification or biases of facilities or measurement systems are defined as processes for assessing probabilistic confidence intervals for facilities or measurement systems for specific tests, data reduction equations, conditions, procedures, and uncertainty analysis. Similarly, subgroup analysis is performed for isolating and assessing levels of differences due to use of different model sizes (scale effects) or measurement systems. An example is provided for towing tank facilities for resistance tests using standard uncertainty analysis procedures based on an international collaboration between three facilities. Although the number of facilities are at a minimum, the results demonstrate the usefulness of an approach and support recommendation of future collaborations between more facilities. Knowledge of intervals of certification or biases is important for design, accrediting facilities or measurement systems, and CFD validation.

Global and local flow measurements for forward speed calm water roll decay are performed in a towing tank for surface combatant model 5415 for both bare hull (BH) and bilge keel (BK) conditions. Roll motion is oscillatory with underdamped exponential decay and linear with respect to initial roll angles less than the average initial roll angle (9°). For larger mean roll angles (> 3°), damped natural frequency is a few percent below the hydrostatic natural roll frequency with larger values for BH than BK condition and increasing Froude number (Fr), whereas for smaller mean roll angles, it sharply increases toward the hydrostatic natural roll frequency. For larger mean roll angles, logarithmic decrement and linear damping linear increase with larger values for BK than BH condition and increasing Fr, whereas for smaller mean roll angles, they sharply increase. For increasing Fr, mean and initial roll angle averaged mean roll angle decreases by 50%; damped natural frequency increases by 6% with larger values for BH than BK condition; and logarithmic decrement/linear damping coefficient increase by a factor of three/four with larger values for BK than the BH condition. Logarithmic decrement and Himeno method linear damping coefficients are qualitatively similar. Nonlinear damping coefficient is two orders of magnitude smaller than linear damping coefficient. Roll reconstruction errors are smallest for Himeno with linear and nonlinear damping. The phase-averaged wave pattern and velocity and axial vorticity fields at x/L = 0.675 initially show larger amplitudes followed by oscillatory exponential decay. Alternating vortex pairs are shed from the bilge keel tip with damped magnitudes for decreasing mean roll angles. The local flow indicates lower frequencies and larger damping than the roll motion.
