With this updated software, users will now be able to calculate the added resistance in irregular waves, allowing for minimum propulsion power requirements to be determined to an even greater accuracy.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]
To evaluate the minimum propulsion power requirement, added resistance in irregular waves must be calculated with ship’s lines. ClassNK incorporated a new calculation module into the software to calculate the added resistance in irregular waves accurately developed by National Maritime Research Institute of Japan in addition to simplified formula for calculating added resistance in waves using only basic information.
