%0 Journal Article %T CALCULATING MODEL FOR THE FRICTION DRAG OF A SHIP'S HULL %A VIOREL ANDREI %A NICOLETA-GABRIELA RODICICHIN %J Journal of Engineering Studies and Research %D 2012 %I Vasile Alecsandri University of Bacau %X This paper presents the contribution of the authors regarding the friction drag calculation of a ship's hull using the quasi-plane model. The velocity calculation by a dimensional model helps to determine the friction tangential effort. Then, by integration, can be determined the friction drag of a rectangular plane panel. By extension over all the plane plates which compose the ship's side, results the friction drag for entire ship's side. %K friction drag %K quasi-plane model %K plane plate %K curve panel %U http://pubs.ub.ro/dwnl.php?id=JESR201202V18S01A0001
