Abstract:

The report presents the results of the analysis of the wake of single-screw merchant ship models and several naval auxiliaries. The data presented are the interpolated longitudinal and tangential velocity distributions, their computed mean values, the harmonic contents of these velocity components, the maximum variations in the resultant inflow velocity, and the advance angles and their variations. Also included are the calculated volumetric wake velocities. An IBM 7090 computer was used for data processing. Author
