RESULTS
Symbol Value Unit Description

Frictional Resistance Rf Rf = ½ Cf (rsw)(Sw)(v)2

R= 128610000 Reynolds Number, R = vL / ν
Cf = 0.002009 Friction Coefficient, Cf = 0.075 / [log10 R)-2]2
DCf = 0.000804 Addition to Friction Coefficient due to Hull Fouling, DCf = 0.008 (N)(Cf)
Cft = 0.003213 Total Friction Coefficient, Cft = Cf + DCf +0.0004
Sw = 874.17 m^2 Wetted Surface Area
Rf = 13715 N Frictional Resistance
Wave Resistance Rv
L/B = 3.33
B/T = 6.78
V/(L)^0.5 = 0.44
Rv / D = 12.00 (To be taken from the Graph 1 on the right)
Rv = 18830 N Wave Resistance
Total Hydrodynamic Resistance Rh
Rh = 32545 N Total Hydrodynamic Resistance
Aerodynamic Resistance Ra Ra = ½ Cx * Ch * (rair)(S)(Vw)2
Cx = 1 Drag Coefficient(To be taken from the Appendix1 on the right)
Ch = 1 Height Coefficient(To be taken from the Appendix1 on the right)
Ra = 42619 N Aerodynamic Resistance

Tow Line Resistance Rr Rr = 4.6 x10 (d)(v) ( l + (71.6 Z/P)) , in Newton
Rr = 702 N Tow Line Resistance
Total Resistance of Towed Vessel
Rtot = 75867 N
Bollard Pull Coefficients
(V+Vc)/Vfr = 0.60
Cef = 0.40 Percentage of Static Bollard Pull = (1 - (V+Vc)/Vfr)
