Further Experiments of Pitching Effect on
Ahead Resistance of Ships
By Keizo UENO
i . Introduction
1)
In the preceding paper the authors
in-vestigated the effect of pitching on ahead
resistance of ships, carrying out the
re-sistance measurement experiments in still
water on the two cargo ship models (Model No.3 and 4; block coefficients 0.041
and 0.702 respectively) artificially
forced pitching, and introduced the
em-pirical formula calculating quantitatively the amount of rate of increase of ahead resistance of ships due to pitching. In
order to obtain the effect of ships' form on the amount of
rate of increase of
ahead resistance of ships due to pitching, 2)3)
we carried out the resistance experiments
on seven ship models with various kinds of forms, artificially forced pitching by just the same method as the preceding
experiments at the Ship Model Experimen-tal Tank of Kyushu University within the
range of time between May 1908 and February 1970. In the prsent paper the above experimental results are stated.

Fishing boat modol was tested at the draught with 37.7% of H trim by the stern.
As shown in Tabe 1 , ve took a cargo ship model with Maier form, an aeroplane
carrier model with a large bulbous bow,
an ex-destroyer Yudachi model, a fishing
boat model and also three supertanker
models with various kinds of block coef-ficients, among which one model has a small bulbous bow form and other two
normal forms. The model ships having the
same types as those used in the yawing 4).5)
effect experiments have the same Model
4 .5) No. as those of the previous experiments,
except the Model No. N which is the model ship of the 130,000 DWT tanker 'NlSSHO MARU" built in the shipyard of SASEBO Heavy Industries Ltd., Japan,
J963. The body plans and fore and aft
forms of all model ships are omitted in
this paper because they (except the Model No. N) are indicated in the previous paper.5 All models were made of wood with their surfaces varnished, and they
were provided with no rudder and no bilge
keel. As the turbulence stimulation
de-vices, piano wires of i m. m. diameter were
fitted on model surfaces at the stations of 1/23.L abaft the leading edges of the models.
4. Test Results and Applicaton to
Actual Ships
The explanations of the method of tests
and also the method of analysis of test results are omitted in the present paper because they are the same as the case of
the preceding experiment and minutely
explained in the preceding paper. The values of the constants C1, C2, C3 and n,
obtained by the analysis of test results for various ship types are represented in Table 2 . together with the data of two
models, Model No. 3 and 4 , used in the
i) preceding experiments. odel No. I L Type of Ships m B m I H iii. LCB 94 CB

If length L, service speed V (or Vs) and type of any actual ship are given, the values of coefficient of scale effect K for the ship can be calculated by the
equation (2),using any appropriate friction
line, for instance, Keizo Ueno's friction 6)
line, model dimensions corresponding te the type of the ship represented in Table
j , and the resistancespeed curves of
The value ol C, the rate of increase of ahead resistance of a ship who advances
at any speed Vs, pitching with an arbitrary
amplitude çí and also an arbitrary period T, can be evaluated by the equation (1), using the value of K obtained above and also the values of constants C1, C2, C3 and n, corresponding to the type of the ship represented in Table 3
