CALCULATING MODEL FOR THE FRICTION DRAG OF A SHIP'S HULL

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.
