| Summary: | This paper documents the result of a preliminary analysis on the influence of hull-ice friction coefficient on model resistance and power predictions and their correlation to full-scale measurements. The study is based on previous model-scale/full-scale correlations performed on the National Research Council - Ocean, Coastal, and River Engineering’s (NRC-OCRE) model test data. There are two objectives for the current study: (1) to validate NRC-OCRE’s modeling standards in regarding to its practice of specifying a CFC (Correlation Friction Coefficient) of 0.05 for all its ship models; and (2) to develop a correction methodology for its resistance and propulsion predictions when the model is prepared with an ice friction coefficient slightly deviated from the CFC of 0.05. The mean CFC of 0.057 and 0.050 for perfect correlation as computed from the resistance and power analysis, respectively, have justified NRC-OCRE’s selection of 0.05 for the CFC of all its models. Furthermore, a procedure for minor friction corrections is developed. Peer reviewed: Yes NRC publication: Yes |
