stator upstream of a propeller in an inclined flow. Two contrasting applications of this method are presented. The first application is an asymmetric stator and a matched propeller design for a typical surface ship with an inclined shaft propeller. The primary purpose of this design is simply to validate the design method. A new propeller and a large span asymmetric stator are designed which increase propulsive efficiency relative to an existing propeller. Model test results are provided which show that significant flow smoothing is achieved across the entire span of the propeller. The. model tests show that the predicted increase in propulsive efficiency of 6-7% was achieved. The second application is a backfit to a high speed U.S. Coast Guard patrol boat. The purpose of this design is to eliminate severe cavitation erosion near the root of the existing propeller. A small span asymmetric stator is designed to operate with the existing propeller. Details of the design and cavitation predictions are provided. Cavitation erosion tests in the DTMB water tunnel demonstrate that the severe erosion can be eliminated.

A standard method for conducting ice resistance model tests as adopted by the Institute for Marine Dynamics is described. The standard procedure involves splitting the total resistance into components; ice breaking, clearing, buoyancy and open water. This allows each component to be treated separately when scaling to full-scale. The analysis procedure is then outlined showing how dimensionless numbers are used to scale the results to full-scale. The basis of the analysis procedure is also given showing how each component of total resistance is affected by model and ice parameters. The result is a rational basis for the conduct and analysis of ice resistance model tests.

This paper explains the capabilities of a new right angle drive propeller dynamometry system which has recently been put into service at the Carderock Division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center (CDNSWC). The towing carriage mounted Fully Submerged Propulsor Dynamometer (FSPD) was designed to make precision steady state measurements of propeller thrust and torque while moving through the water at high speeds in the towing basin. Experiments may be performed at various depths and shaft inclination angles. The capabilities introduced by this new instrument will make investigations into many phenomena and the measurement of their effects on propeller performance possible. The FSPD has been used for obtaining the high speed open water performance for the large diameter propulsors used in cavitation experiments at CDNSWC. Experiments have been performed to determine the effects of the variation of propeller depth of submergence and Reynolds Numbers on open water performance. Some preliminary experimental results are presented in this paper.

The Partnership for America's Cup Technology provided a 1:5 scale model of an International America's Cup Class yacht model and keel, which was tested at two drafts, both having the same radius of gyration and VCG. Test were made of upright resistance and model motions in smooth water and in regular waves. The model was free to surge, pitch, and heave while restraining all other degrees of freedom. Initial tests were made to compare the model in the free to surge mode (which is more realistic) and in the fixed in surge mode (which allows the determination of phase angles).

A propeller design procedure incorporating new propeller blade sections has been developed to improve propeller cavitation inception. Two dimensional foil design procedures of Shen and Eppler provide geometry for a specified blade pressure distribution. Advanced propeller lifting surface design procedures then generate propeller geometry. Panel method analysis verifies final design changes. Resulting propeller geometries produce a specified blade pressure distribution with improved blade surface cavitation inception. A series of new blade section model propeller s has been designed and tested for cavitation and powering performance. The new propellers show a 2-3 knot improvement in blade surface cavitation inception speed. The new section propeller s also show some Reynolds number effects on powering, requiring higher speed testing than conventional blade section propellers.

There has been renewed interest concerning the subject of scaling, to fullscale, the seakeeping motions of SES models. This paper has been prepared in response to this interest. The paper reviews the historical background to the subject as treated in the United States and the United Kingdom and important items of difficulty are discussed. Future studies which can further our understanding of the problem are suggested.

Resistance model test results for a systematic series of low LIB, heavy displacement vessels are presented. The UBC Series is based on west coast seiners and trawlers. These vessels have low LIB and L/V/1/3 values that are outside the range of existing model series data. A parent hull form was developed that has 14% less resistance and yet has the same displacement as a typical fishing vessel. A series of 13 models was generated by systematically varying L/B, BIT and Cb. Results from resistance tests in calm water are presented. From these model tests, an algorithm has been developed to predict the resistance of similar small vessels. The implementation of bulbous bows to the parent hull shows reduction in the overall resistance by approximately 17%. Also, the introduction of stern fairing reduces the resistance by about 25% at the design speed.

A small new facility has been installed in the Department of Naval Architecture of the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. It is a wave flume, 14 meters long, 1 meter wide and 1 meter deep. Regular and irregular waves, as well as packages of waves, can be generated in the range 0.5 - 2.5 Hz, 0.5 - 5.0 cm. The wave generator is plunger-type, driven by a servo-motor. 2D tests with one and two cylinders have been conducted, varying the immersion and the distance between the cylinders. Forces acting on the cylinders, wave elevation and plunger motion have been measured. The paper describes the facility and presents the results for the stationary cylinders acted transversely by waves.
