| Summary: | The study method of a ship behavior based on practical tests on scale models is widely used both
leading scientists and engineers, architects and researchers in the naval field. In this paper we propose to
determine the parameters of a ship handling characteristics relevant to study the 55,000 dwt bulk carrier
using a scale model. Scientific background for practical experimentation of this techniques necessary to built
a scale model ship consists in applying the principles of similarity or "similitude". The scale model achieved
by applying the laws of similarity must allow, through approximations available in certain circumstances,
finding relevant parameters needed to simplify and solve the Navier-Stokes equations. These parameters
are necessary for modeling the interaction between hull of the real ship and the fluid motion. |
