Predicting the Effect of Hull Roughness on Ship Resistance Using a Fully Turbulent Flow Channel

The consequences of poor hull surface conditions on fuel consumption and emissions are well-known. However, their rationales are yet to be thoroughly understood. The present study investigates the hydrodynamics of fouling control coatings and mimicked biofouling. Novel experimental roughness functio...
