ITTC - Recommended Procedures and Guidelines: Resistance Test

This document provides guidelines for conducting resistance tests in towing tanks to determine the resistance and hydrodynamic performance of ship models. The guidelines specify parameters for data reduction, instrumentation requirements, test procedures, and data analysis methods. Model-scale resistance tests are conducted to determine total resistance, residual resistance, and form factor coefficients at varying speeds. Measurements of speed, sinkage, trim, and temperature are taken to apply corrections and ensure accurate results.
