Abstract

A novel study on assessing the drag penalty due to hull roughness from a recently cleaned and painted ship hull is reported. Here we estimate the rough surface drag penalty by measuring the velocity profile directly over the hull of an operating ship under steady cruising using a Laser Doppler Anemometer (LDA). The novel technique is non-intrusive and requires only optical access and does not require a full hull-penetration. For this experiment a small glass window is placed on the double-bottom hull of an operating ship, allowing the LDA to measure the velocity gradient in the turbulent boundary layer formed over the hull (during steady sailing) across some traversable distance from close to the hull surface, to at least the end of the logarithmic region. Preliminary initial results show that there is an approximate 37% increase in skin-friction drag for a recently cleaned ship-hull compared to the hydrodynamically smoothsurface.
