5.13 A ship has a length <strong>of</strong> 100 m and a wetted area <strong>of</strong> 1200 m 2 .A<br />

model <strong>of</strong> this ship <strong>of</strong> length 4mistowed through fresh water<br />

at 1.5 m · s −1 and has a total resistance <strong>of</strong> 15.5 N. For the<br />

model the skin friction resistance/wetted area is 14.5 N · m −2<br />

at 3 m · s −1 , and the skin friction resistance is proportional<br />

to (velocity) 1.9 . The prototype ship in sea-water has a skin<br />

friction resistance <strong>of</strong> 43 N · m −2 at 3 m · s −1 and a velocity<br />

exponent <strong>of</strong> 1.85. Calculate the speed and total resistance <strong>of</strong><br />

the prototype ship in conditions corresponding to the model<br />

speed <strong>of</strong> 1.5 m · s −1 . The relative density <strong>of</strong> sea-water is 1.026.
