Towing Tank Experiments

Towing Tank Experiments is a systematic experimental method in naval hydrodynamics that involves the controlled towing of scaled ship models in a long, straight water basin to measure hydrodynamic forces and moments, particularly resistance and propulsion characteristics, under standardized conditions to differentiate the effects of hull form, wave-making, and viscous flow on displacement vessels and multihull configurations such as catamarans.
