OBJECTIVESTo determine the propulsion requirements of a tanker model No. 7698 (MTL001)
TASK1) Describe fully the experimental set-up and the procedures used.2) Compare the results obtained using the adopted procedures used.3) Compare the resistance values obtained to that of bare hull.4) Comment on suitability of the procedure adopted and give suggestions on
further improvements required.
INTRODUCTION
For self propulsion test the model scale should be chosen so that the ship model as well as for the propeller model the critical value of Reynolds’ number is exceeded.
However, the development of the methods of generating turbulent flow artificially now permits satisfactory resistance tests to be carried out wit models of 1.5m length.
INTRODUCTION(contd..)
With a ship model of the size, however, it is still impossible to carry out a proper self-propulsion test.
According to the experience gained by the NSMB (MARIN), the minimum length of the ship models with reliable self-propulsion test can be carried out is approx.
2.5m.

TheoryTheory
Self propulsion tests are out to estimate ship power at various speeds and to derive propulsion factors Wt, t, CR.
METHODS:METHODS:
The hull model is equipped with an electrical motor mounted inside the hull and respective devices (dynamometer).
The size of the propeller unit model for propulsions test is determined automatically by the size of the ship model and its scale ratio.
An external tow force in propulsion experiment should be applied along the same line of action.
The three procedures for the self propulsion tests are available is: Load varying (or constant speed) method Constant loading method Mixed loading method
1. Load varying (or constant speed) method
each test the model speed and the desired propeller loading should be selected repeat runs at the same speed should be made at different loading.
The loading range should extend from the lowest to the highest load factors
It is further recommended that, in all cases, the loading should cover the condition of model self propulsion.
2. Constant loading method
each test the model speed should be selected and the corresponding external tow force at the set loading computed.
The computed skin friction correction force (FD) is then applied to the model hull as an external assisting toe force which will be kept constant for all tests.
Repeat runs should be made at each of several speeds. The speed range should extend from the lowest to the speed range at
least 5% below
3. Mixed loading method
Combination of the load varying and constant loading methods may be used. For example, a speed variation at constant loading may be used, together
with a supplementary load-variation test at one speed.
Analysis of Propulsion Factors
Thrust, torque, rate of rotation and speed of hull are measured during self propulsion tests.
These values are used to derive propulsion factors. The analysis can be carried out in two ways:
1. Thrust Identity Analysis
Advance coefficients, JP are obtained from self propulsion test and the corresponding thrust coefficients KTP are calculated.
From the open water diagram at the same thrust coefficient, KTP corresponding JOT, KQT and COT are read off.

PROCEDURE
Load Varying Test. Set up the experiment as Figure 1: The towing carriage should be accelerated
from rest and simultaneously the propeller rate of revolution increased also from rest.
A short period will then normally be allowed before measurements are begun.
Repeat runs at the same speed should be made at different loadings and the whole series of runs then repeated at each of the speeds within the test range.
Speed Varying Test Before beginning each test run the model
speed should be selected.
Measurements are then made after a period of steady running. Repeat runs should be made at each of several speeds.
