Resistance of a Ship
(Estimates Based on Statistical Methods)
1. In the preliminary stages of ship design, the
resistance coefficient is estimated with approximate
methods based on systematic series or statistical
regressions to experimental data.
2. A systematic series is a family of ship hulls obtained
from a systematic variation of one or more shape
parameters.
3. Usually, the changes are based on a parent form.
4. The resistance of all the models that constitute a
series is measured experimentally.
5. This database allows the interpolation of the
resistance coefficient for other shapes originated by

6. The Froude number is related to the fineness
coefficient.
7. Ships with a high Froude number exhibit a resistance
coefficient dominated by the wave resistance and
have a smaller fineness coefficient.
8. The longitudinal distribution of the displacement
affects the resistance and is related to the Froude
number.
9. This distribution is characterized by the buoyancy
centre.
10.For ships with low Froude number, the resistance is
dominated by the flow separation region that might

11.The risk of flow separation is reduced if the buoyancy
centre is upstream of midship.
12.In the case of high Froude numbers, wave resistance
dominates the resistance coefficient.
13.In these cases, the critical region is the bow, which
should be thinner moving the buoyancy centre to a
location downstream of midship.
14.The vertical displacement is influenced by the choice
of V or U sections. U shaped sections lead to smaller
wave resistance than V shapes, but to highest risk of
flow separation.

(Estimates Based on Statistical Methods - Taylor series)
1. Taylor performed model tests (between 1907 and
1914) for systematic variations of a parent form
defined by the British cruiser Leviathan.
2. Systematic variations of models shape:.

3. 5 parent forms with fineness coefficients: 0,60,
0,65,0,70, 0,75 and 0,80.
4. For each fineness coefficient, the location of the hull
centre was optimized.
5. Variations of L/B, B/T, etc.

(Estimates Based on Statistical Methods
Method of Holtrop and Mennen)
1. The method estimates the resistance of displacement
ships.
2. Statistical regression of model tests and results from
ship trials.
3. The database covers a wide range of ships. For
extreme shapes the number of cases in the database
is small.
4. Therefore, the accuracy of the estimates is worse.
5. The method may be used to assess qualitatively the
resistance of a ship design.

1. Cp is the prismatic coefficient based on the
waterline length L and lcb is the longitudinal
position of the centre of buoyancy forward of 0.5
