In recent years, there is a tendency that the hull form of the
tanker grows in size especially in breadth and fullness eventually
the Froude numbers in service speed reduce smaller and smaller.
In this kind of ship the viscous resistance constitutes a high
percentage of the total resistance. Therefore it is necessary to
research into the form factor of the frictional resistance not only for obtaining exact model and ship correlation, but also for
investigating means of the reduction of resistance. In this study
it was attempted to clarified the relation of principal form
parameters to the form factor and to develop hull forms of minimum
resistance by wind tunnel tests with twenty-one models. Besides,
wake surveys and flow observation were carried out for several
models. The results are as follows

1 Introduction
In recent years, oil tankers are growing greater and greater
in size especially in breadth and fullress Consequently the valu
of the Froude numbers are becoming smaller In this kind of ships
the viscous resistance constitutes a high percentage of the total
rcsistance The form resistance, which forms a part of the viscou
resistance, is an important subject of the study in this field,
Usually a two-dimensional correlation method has been adopted to
estimate the required horse power According to this method the
total resistance is split up into the frictional resistance and tl
residuary resistance, the latter including a part of the form
resistance, The total resistance of the ship is calculated by add
ing a roughness allowance to the total resistance estimated from- t
model testj, However, when this method is applied to recent large tankers, the calculated results usually exceed the actual horse power measured at their trialruns Tri order to eliminate this
discrepancy, the idea of taking the roughness coefficient ¿GF
as negative has been adopted This idea requires, furthermore, to
modify appropriately the value of ACF according to the size and
form of the hu1l This fact obviously suggests some defects
existing in the method,
Now to cope with the situation, considering fully the form effect on the viscous resistance, Hughes and Lap separately have
CiJ C2J
developed new methods , which are called the three-dimensi
correlation method., When results of trial runs are analyzed with method,tCF becomes positive and maintains ari approximately const
values This shows that the three-dimensional method is superior es e he onal this ant to
the two-dimensional0 However, the problem involved in the application
of this method is that the form factcr must be clearly known0 The
investigation on the form factor also serves for the study of hull
f rm of minimum resistance0
The purpose of this paper is to present the form factors of some recent large tankers and to discuss what
full
form has minimumfrictional resistance. For this purpose, seventeen tanker double
models were tested methodically in a wind tunnel and four special-form double models were tested in a way explained fully later,
In addition, Observation of the flow patterns and wake surveys were
made to investigate features of the flow around the underwater
body0

they are usually used among the navalarchitects, e0g0 F0P0, A0P0, etc.

1 Description of Models
Twenty-one models were used; seventeen belong to the hull form
which is generally in actual use, the other four had forms which
were a little different from the normal one as explained fully
later0 Each form group is called the normal hull form and the
special hull form respectively0
For the normal form, four form parameters are varied
systematical-ly as follows:
L/B
05705,B/
21f-'-'3,O,
CB =O78-O82,
-LCB=
0-?
The principal particulars of these models are shownin Table l The models No07, 8 and 9 differ from each other only
in CB and the models
No07, 9
and 10 only in LcBFigs0l
and 2 compare the body plans and the prismatic curves with one another0 The bodyplans of the other normal forms carl be produced from these figures
merely by enlarging or reducing the sections without altering their
spacing
The number of the special hull form is four One is the Myer
f:rm of which the frame lines in the forebdy are V-shape0 Another
one is the twin screw ship fors of which the frame lines in the
afterbody are V-shape0 The sha;es of the afterbody or the
fore-body of these two forms are the same as those of the model
No09.
nother two models of the four are secial forms, designed merelyto minimize the resistance and not intended for practical use0
They are called a round bottom hull form and an airship hull formO
The principal particulars, body plans and prismatic curves of these
four models are shown in Table 1 and Figs0 3
6.
For the roundbottom hull form and the airshi. hull form it is not considered
how to install the rudder, Therefore, it is difficult to decide
the position of A.P.. In the Table 1,
CB ,
etc0 based on the assumed position of A,P0 are shown with parenthesese.The percentages of
Lpp
to LOWL of the round bottom hull form and the airship hull form are 97% and 100% respectively0 When they arecompared with those of the normal form, the value of Lpp 97% 11VL is not so improper but the value of
L= i00% LWL
is improper.The assumed value of
L= 97% LWLiS
also adopted for the airship form; the particulars shown in Table i are altered as follows:Lp=
1.9m,L/B= 583,
CB =0.82,
LCB=3.kl%L.
Fig., 7 compares the profiles of the normal forms and the special forms with one another
2,2 Items of Experiment
In this experiment, measurement of drag, surveys of wake and observation of flow patterns were carried out,
2,2,1 Measurement of Drag
There are various methods for obtaining the form factor but there
is not the best method confirmed., In this study, the wind tunnel test
was adopted from the following two reasons: (i) the pure viscous resistance can be perfectly measured (2) As the wind velocity can
be changed easily, a number of measured values are obtained,
The models used were wooden double models, 2m., Each model
was suspended by wire in the working section of the wind tunnel according to the method of three-component balances The drag was measured by a
six-component balance,
Two kinds of metal fixtures were used to join the supporting wire
to the model, One was shaped like a wing with a section of a symn.etrical
circular arc, of which the length, the breadth and the maximum thickness were 600 mm, 50 mm and 6 mm respectively
This fixture was fitted at a position of 250 mm aft of FP; it passed
through the symmetrical plane of the double model. The other was of a
small ring-shape, and was fixed at the center line on the two bottoms of the model and at a position of I m aft of the wing shape fixture.
Supporting wires of 0.2 mm $, O,Lk mm $ and 0,6 mm $ were used., Two T-shaped rods were made to measure the drag of these wires., The drag
with the form factor of 0.4, for it was difficult to measure this drag.
Trip wires and studs were used as a turbulence stimulator.
The wire,
0,8
mm diameter, were fixed on the model at a position of lO mm aft of F,P, The studs were set up with the hight 1.5 mm and thepitch 5 mm at the station 9Y2.
The wind velocity was altered at an interval of about 5 mm from
about 10 mm to 55 mm in readings of the manometer (corresponding to about 10 rn/sec to 27m/sec in velocity)0
Tests for the full load condition were carried out for all of
the twenty-one models. Additionally the five models, the models No.
4,5,8,14
and15,
were tested for a ballast condition i.e. the 45%full load condition with 2% trim.
The test were performed in the large wind tunnel of the
Gottingen type in the Osaka University. Figs.8 and 9 showed a sketch
of this tunnel and the lay-out of the model,
2.2,2 Surveysof Wake and Observation of Flow Patterns
For measurement of the velocity of flow in the plane of the
propeller, a wake survey rake was equipped on a stand installed
behind the model as shown in Fig. 10. This rake consisted of ten
Pitot tubes, 7 mm diameters, with a lateral spacing of about 30 mm, and is devised to be able to shift freely up and down or right and left.
The measurement were carried out only a range of a quadrant in the plane of the propeller because it was expected that the wake distribution was symmetrical both vertically and horizontally in view of the shape of the model. Points measured were twenty in a vertical spacing of 15 mm and eight in a horizontal spacing of 20mm,
0cL, ref,

Fig.142.and the total were 160 points. Models used for this purpose were
five the model No.2,
3, 7, 9
and the twin screw ship form.The two models,
No.3
and the round bottom hull form, were alsotested in a circulating water channel of our technical research
institute and the flow around the body was recorded by still
photographs and observed with the naked eye.
These double models were fully submerged, The observation
of flow patterns was made by twin tufts fastened to the surface of
the models. The twin tufts constitute of wollen yarn (white and
black), are fixed to small pieces of vinyl with a tiny hole, and
are attached to each vertical wire through the hole. The white
one was attached to the surface of the model and the black one
was located in the plane at a distance of 25 mm from the surface.

Test Results and Discussion3.1 Form Factor
For the calculation of the form factor, Hughes' frictional
formula was used.
The form factor K obtained from one of the measurement results was, as an exampe, plotted against Reynolds number as the
abscissa, and is shown in Fig,ll. The points are distributed over
a wide range, In the case of R> 3.0 x 106, however, they indicate
approximately a constant value and each average line is shown by a
solid one. The average value of K thus obtained for each model is
given in Table 2 for all models.
Table 2 V&lues of K for Full Load Conditions

These values are plotted against , C11

and shown in Figs 12, 13, l and 15 respectively; each solid
line indicates the mean curve of these average values These
K-curves against , CB and
B,,
have a trend expected, but their values are considerably higher as compared with values whichare obtained for ships commonly in service estimated from the
results of their model tank tests This fact is related to the
value of
LCB,
as noticed fromFi'l4,
which shows the effect ofLCB0n the form factor According to this figure, the K -curves have a minimum value at a position of LCB= 2% The values of
LCB
of actual ships are usuallyLO
2O%L
while those ofthe models corresponding to Figs 12, 13 and 15 are nearly o%
Therefore, it is natural that the K -values in these figures are
higher In the vicinity of
LCB=
2% the values in Fig014 almost agree with those estimated from the tank test results;thus the valuos obtained from our wind tunnel tests and from the tank tests are consistent with each other

Most of the models used in our tests have hull forms of
LCB=O%L0
Therefore, it is inconvenient to use the results obtained from thetest directly in design or for reference,, In order to eliminate
this inconvenience, the authors tried to develop a formula for *
these results0 It is helpful to use a power formula for this
purpose, because constants of the formula can be evaluated easily and effects of each parameter can be followed clearly. However, if this formula is expressed by the products of only power functions of the parameters, the effect of LCB can't be contained adequately0 Therefore, we assume a quadratic equation
for LCB, as follows:
L
Bß
r
K=
()
CB (p' LCB2+ q'
a
,fi, r
,p
, q andr
are constants and the values can beevaluated uy the method of least-squares from the experimental
results0 They have the following values:
a =
-2.09,fl= -0.157,
= 6.60
p=
6.6/+,
q = -323,
r =139.2
Values of K calculated from the formula (i) are shown by
dotted lines in Figs0 i2'-l5. It is desired to notice that these
curves agree fairly well with the mean curves of the experimental
values,,
The results of our tests show that there exists the optimum
value of LCB , in which the value of K becomes a minimum, as
evident from Fig. l4 When this value is calculated from the formula (1),
a value of LCB =
2,43%
is obtained, On the other hand, accordingto the results of tank tests for tanker models with a bulbous bow,
* cf0
reference(4)
which had been conducted in our Institute, the optimum value of
LCBwas
about 2,8 3.0%. The value corresponding to the above gotfrom the wind tunnel tests is somewhat smaller., It is right
qualitatively that the optimum position of a longitudinal centre of buoyancy of the hull form with a bulbous bow is somewhat more forward than that of the normal hull form, because the flow over
the bow is improved by the bulbous bow., On the basis of the above
facts, it is resonable that the optimum value of LCB is about 2.5%
Lpp
in the normal hull form.Next we will discuss about the form factor of the special
hull form., In order to minimize resistance these hull forms were designed after full consideration; items considered are as follows.
In order to ease all the flow around the body, the hull forms were stream-lined not only in the shape of the water line but also
in three-dimensions. In particular, we took full notice of shapes
at the places where the water flowed down under the bottom from
the side, or flowed up in the inverse direction.,
Values of K
of the special hull
forms based onthis
consideration are shown in Table 2, It follows that the values of
K become smaller in the order of the twin screw ship form, the round bottom hull form, the airship hull form and the Myer form, We will compare the special hull forms with the model No.9, This is the normal hull form having the same values of the form
parameters as the twin screw ship form and the Myer form., The value
of K of the twin screw ship form is lower than that of the model
No.9, as expected. This value of the I1yer form is higher contrary
to expectation. As the values of the form parameter of these three
-hull forms are equal to each other, such differences are mainly due
to shapes of the frame line0 Transverse sections of the forebody
of the Myer form are V-shaped and its shoulder is rather abrupt0 Therefore it is believed that the downward flow around the forebody
is improved but that the side flow becomes unfavourable0 It is
thought that such flow has a bad effect upon the form resistance0
It appears to be imprcper to apply the Myer form to the super tanker0
The test results of the Myor form and the twin screw ship form suggest that the effects of stream-line fairness in three dimensions to the
form resistance are greater in the afterbody than in the forebody0
The round bottom hull form and the airship hull form are
different in shape from usual ones0 Their hull forms are unsuitable
for practical use as they are0 However, they are remarkable hull
form0 In particular, the round bottom hull form is possibly a
favourable one from a wave making point of view0 It is possible to
reduce the form resistance by shifting the position of the longitudinal center of buoyancy farther rward0 On the other hand, it seems that
the airship hull form is not so favourable from a wave making point
of view because of the very large entrance angle0 However, if a
value of
O97
is adopted as becomes O82 as mention-ed in the section 2l According to these facts this form is morefull-bodied one ini substance0 ihen the k -value of the normal hull
form corresponding to this item is calculated with the formula (i), a value of O63 is obtained0 It follows that the k -value of the
airship hi1l form is reduced to about 70% in comparison with that
of the normal one0 In addition, this form has the characteristic
of a small displacement-wetted surface ratio0 The fact shows that
is a desirable one for the full low-speed ship. It is hoped that
these two special hull forms will be further investigated in detail
regarding their applicability to the actual ship.
Fig0 16 compares values of K obtained from the authors' formula (i), Prof0 Sasajima's foru1a and results of some
tank tests with one another; the solid line, the dotted line and the symbols o +, etc0 correspond to the authors' formula, the Sasajima's formula and the results of the tank tests respectively0 The form factor of the Sasajima's formula is based on the Schoenherr
Mean Line0
ihen
K and K'indicate the form factors based on the Schoenherr Line and the Hughes Line respectively, the relationof K'= K
+ Ol2 holds approximately0 This value of K' is addoptedas the form factor of the Sasajima'sforrnula in this paper0
This figure shows that the effect of CB is different between the
formula (i) and the Sasajima's formula0 That is, a gradient of
K-curves againstCB of the formula (i) is larger than that of the
Sasajima's formula. This discrepancy becomes considerably remarkable
in the range of larger L/B
Next we will compare the two curves with the values obtained
from the results of the tank tests0
In the range of/ß6o5 the
values of the two curves are not so much different from those of the
tank test. In the range of L/> 7GO, however, the Sasajima's curve
better agrees with them than the authors' one0 It appears that the
authors' values are
too
low in this range0 The accuracy of the approximation of the formula (i) appears to become worse in thisrange of , because the number of the models in the range are very
small0 However, there is room for réexamination in the results of
-the tank tests, because th tank tests weren't necessarily carried out
for the purpose of obtaining the values of K This problem must be
fully investigated hereafter0
The values of K in ballast conditions were measured only for the five models described in the section 2.2l As the data aren't
obtained so much fully as we car0 discuss in detail, the results are
only shown in Table 3 for your information0
Table 3 Values of K in Ballast Conditions
In the ballast condition, the amount of ballast and the trim need to be taken up as factors influencing the form factor besides the
form parameters0 It becomes a difficult problem how to arrange the
results of tests0 Additionally,, in the full load condition, fairly
reliable values of K can be obtained from the results of tank tests; in the ballast condition, the accuracy of the K-values obtained from such tests become worse inevitably because the effect of wave-making
becomes greater0 As mentioned above, it is difficult to obtain
reliable values of K systematically so as to be available in the
design of a shíp However this problem is so important that it is
hoped to investigate this one at the earliest opportunity.

Wake DistributionFig 17 show the wake distribution of the models
No0 2, 3, 7, 9
and the twin screw ship form0 The wake distribution of the models No02
and No03 are quite similar to each other; only the thickness of the
13
-M0S0No0 5 8
l
15boundary layer of the model No03 is greater than that of the other0 These figures show that the wake values don't necessarily decrease gradually outward from the center plane, and that iso-wake contours
are projecting around the middle of the draft of LOWOL., This
feature is related with flow separation and vortex formation around
the stern which were observed by flow observation explained later.,
In the model No07, the projecting of the iso-wake contours becomes
smaller, but it seems that vortices are formed0 In the model No09
with LCB = 2%L, the wake distribution is pretty fair as a whole except iso-wake contours of W 00/i and
O5
In the twin-screwship form, the wake distribution isn't always smooth, but the wake
values decrease gradually outward from the center plane0
When the wake distributions are compared with the form
factors K obtained in the section 3,1, the following are noticed:
the lower the value of K is, the fairer the wake distribution is and the narrower its extent is, as expected0
3.,3 Flow Observation
Flow
patterns around the sterns of the models No03 and the round bottom hull form were taken by a camera with a shutter speed Ysecond0 These photograph are shown in Figs0 18 and
l9
In the model No.,3, black threads (at a distance of 25 mm from the surface) don't show uniform one0 The formation of flow separation wasobserved clearly with the naked eye0 As the photograph is not so
clear, the flow patterns of the whìte ones are sketched, and shown
in Fig.20. The arrow of a dotted line in Station shows that its
thread rotated sometimes., The arrow of a solid line indicate that
small bubbles in the water adjacent to the model surface formed a
spiral flow., The flow around the bow also was observed, nothing 1/i
-- 15
abnormal was noticed and the pattern was fair. As the forehody of the
model No.3 is comparatively fine because of LCD= 0%, it is believed
that the flow around the bow becomes easy. However, in the models
with LCB
4% Lpp,
it is probable that the separation may occur atthe bottom of the forebody in view of the tendency of K - values.
It
is hoped to confirm this phenomenon at the earliest opportunity. The flow pattern of the round bottom hull form was very smooth andthe confused flow was not noticed anywhere. This fact also suggests
this form is excellent on resistance performance.
4 Concthsions
The results of the tests are summed up as follows:
(i) The form factors Ko±' the nornai hull forms in the full load
condition were measured systematically, and the formula of K related
to the form parameters was developed.
K=
(2.09
.(-°.'
C6°
(6 .64LCB2-32
.3LCB+l 39. 2)
The value of K calculated from the above formula agrees very well
with that obtained from the result' jf the tank tests for the wide and
full hull form in the range of
6,5.
It seems that the value ofthe formula becomes too low for the slender hull form in the range of
7.
It is hoped to reexamine this point.In the ballast condition, the form factors of the five models were
measured. -s data got from the tests are only a few, any conclusion
can't be obtained. It will become necessary to introduce the form
factor for the estimate of the horse power in this condition.
It was confirmed that the twin screw ship form was superior to other forms on resistance performance and the round bottom hull form
was favourable
According to the wake survey and the flow observation, there were evìdences of flow separation near the stern of the models with
L/B=55,
C8 =O82 andLCB =
