Holtrop and Mennen Method for Ship Resistance

This document describes the Holtrop and Mennen method for estimating ship resistance through statistical methods. The total resistance (RT) is calculated as the sum of friction resistance, wave resistance of the bare hull, wave resistance of the bulbous bow, additional resistance from the immersed transom, appendage resistance, and a correlation allowance. Various factors that influence each resistance component are also outlined, such as the ship's length, beam, draft, speed, wetted surface area, and coefficients. The method is an improvement over standard methods by incorporating factors like ship speed and additional sources of resistance.

Resistance of a Ship

Estimates based on statistical methods


Method of Holtrop and Mennen

• Resistance decomposition:
RT = (1 + k1 )RF + Rw + RB+RTR + R APP + R
A
RT = Total resistance
RF = Friction resistance from the ITTC 1957 line
1+k1= Form factor of bare hull
Rw = Wave resistance of bare hull
RB = Wave resistance of the bulbous bow
RTR = Additional resistance from the immersed transom
R APP= Appendage resistance
R A = Correlation allowance
• Form factor of bare hull:
• 1 + k1 = f (L / B, L / T , LCB, ∇ / L3 , C p )
• Wave resistance:
= f ( Fn , C M , ∇ / L3 , L / B, B / T , ABT / BT , AT / BT , T f , hb ,
Cp)
= Displacement
CM = Fineness coefficient
= Length at fluctuation
= Beam
= Draft
= Longitudinal position of hull centre
• Wave resistance:
= f ( Fn , C M , ∇ / L3 , L / B, B / T , ABT / BT , AT / BT , T f , hb ,
Cp)
= Prismatic coefficient
AT = Tranversal section of transom at rest
ABT = Transversal section of bulbous bow
Tf = Vertical distance from the bulbous section centre to
the keel line (m)
hb
= Draft at the bow (m)
Fn = Froude number
• Regression formula for the wetted surface
S = f (L, B,T , CM , Cb , Cwp ABT )
,
Cwp Fineness coefficient at fluctuation

R APP = ρV 2S APP (1 + k 2 )C
2
F
• Additional resistance of the bulb depending on bulb
characteristics and its immersion.
• Resistance of the appendages
1
R APP = ρV2 S APP (1 + k 2 )C
2
F
–V = Ship speed
– S APP = Wetted surface of the appendages
– 1 + = Form factor of the appendages
k2
Friction resistance coefficient of
– CF =
the ship
• Resistance of the immersed area of the transom AT and of
other parameters related to the immersed transom

• Correlation allowance for the model-ship extrapolation


1
R A= ρV 2 SCa
2
The correlation allowance depends on L and other parameters
• Differences to the standard method
– Form factor depending on the ship speed
– Revised formulas for the wave resistance
– Separate relations for the air resistance. In the
standard method it was included in the correlation
allowance
• Other improvements:
– Added resistance due to incoming waves
– Added resistance from head wind
– Shallow water corrections
