ConclusionsAround 80% of the change in propulsive power origins in changedresidual resistance coefficient. Primarily from changed flow around thebulbous bowRemaining 20% are from changes in the propulsive coefficients.Trim guidance from resistance model tests or alternatively RANS CFDcan give a reasonable result. Especially if it is combined withexperience from self-propulsion tests.The potential theory CFD was found to under predict the change inperformance when trimming.
