Abstract The ship model resistance test is carried out on the towing tank with a certain scale to get total coefficient of model. value ship’s form factor needed in extrapolation calculations and full-scale ship. can be obtained using traditional method, namely testing Froude Number between 0.1 – 0.2. This method known as Prohaska method. Another or more modern use multiple linear regression st...

OBJECTIVE To examine the intra-rater, inter-rater, and inter-instrumental reliability of the digitalized pinch muscle strength dynamometer. METHOD Thirty normal subjects were examined for pinch strength, using both the Preston pinch gauge and the digitalized pinch dynamometer. The participants performed all pinch strength tests in the seated position as recommended by the American Society of ...

In this paper, a new type of bottom trawl was designed for target fishing vessels to use in deep-water grounds. The trawl’s hydrodynamic performance investigated using numerical simulation and physical modeling methods, model based on the finite element method proposed estimating forces predicting performances. A series tests Tauti’s law were carried out towing tank explore assess applicability...

The goal of this study is to analyze the hydrodynamic behavior a Floating Wind Platform (FOWT) under regular wave conditions. analysis considers three degrees freedom: Heave, Pitch and Surge. was car-ried out using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) tool, based on Navier-Stokes equations Finite Volume Method, results were compared against experimental tests performed at Wave/Towing Tank Univers...

Model-scale testing might suffer from blockage effects due to the finite dimensions of test section. Measurements must be corrected predict forces that would have been measured in unconfined conditions. Blockage corrections are well-established for streamlined and bluff bodies, while more data is needed develop bodies generate both high lift large wakes. In this work, towing tank water tunnel t...
