A high value of sampling rates have been used (oversampling technique) to overcome aliasing errors and to identify any unwanted sources of
errors due to electricity network, so that the standard of 500 Hz have been chosen. That corresponds to 10 times of the frequency of the networks.
The total error was evaluated according to the ITTC 7.5-02-02-02 procedure. It recommends a criterion for the estimation of the total error on the
resistance coefficient CT. The method allows an evaluation of the error propagation due to resistance measurement, temperature, speed and
geometries of the models (ITTC 7.5-01-01-01). The procedure shows that in essence the error is mostly influenced by the quality of the
measurement of the load cell and, with a less effect, by the other parameters.
The total estimated errors are ± 0.1 N on resistance measurement, ± 0.05° on trim, ± 0.001 m/s on speed and ± 0.01 kg on weights.
In addition to that, an error related to the interceptor positioning could occur. In a previous work (De Luca and Pensa, 2012) a deep analysis of
these errors had been done on models with comparable dimensions. The estimated maximum error allowed for the depth of the interceptor was
0.2 mm; it implies a maximum error on resistance of 1.1% and an average error of 0.5%.
The evaluation of the errors due to the uncertainties related to the weights, was conducted by the polynomial expressions above proposed, the
maximum value is not higher than 0.2% due to an error of displacement evaluation of ± 0.005 kg.

The reliabilities of the polynomials and of their coefficients have been verified point by point on the entire amount of experimental data. An
example of the polynomial fitting is shown in the Fig. D1.
As indicator of the reliability the normalized root mean square deviation (NRMSD) has been chosen:
NRMSD = {1/n ∑n [(yi- ŷi)/ yi]2}0.5
where:
n = number of predictions
yi = experimental value
ŷi = predicted value
Next table shows the results referring to the three polynomials (CR, SWD and LWLD).

To correlate model’s experimental data and ship performances, two ways are available using:
LOA 52–53 m
BOA 11.5 m
Δ 450 t
VS ∈ (22, 30) kn
These dimensions identify the Model C4 and a scale factor λ =20.10. The ship reference dimensions will be: LWL = 48.2 m, Ⓜ = 6.34, VS∈(22, 30)
kn.
The ITTC’57 correlation procedure prescribes the relations:
234
F. De Luca, C. Pensa Ocean Engineering 139 (2017) 205–236
Obviously, for models with interceptors, the calculation procedure is the same. Nevertheless it has been highlighted that there is a significant
scale effect in the correlation of the interceptor work in ship scale. In particular, in model scale the effectiveness of the interceptor (as trim corrector
and as high lift device) is underrated. This underestimate is due to the non-proportional boundary layer and is growing with the scale factor. This
theme is described in detail in (De Luca and Pensa, 2012).
By using the polynomials
It is possible to perform the same example using the polynomial expressions. The vectors Ⓜ and Fr should be calculate for the speeds of interest.
ⓂT = {1, Ⓜ, Ⓜ 2, Ⓜ 3} = {1, 6.341, 40.208, 254.961}
VS = 21.8 kn:FrT = {1, Fr, Fr2, Fr3, Fr4} = {1, 0.515, 0.265, 0.137, 0.070}
VS = 30.5 kn:FrT = {1, Fr, Fr2, Fr3, Fr4} = {1, 0.721, 0.520, 0.375, 0.270}
By the next expressions, it is possible to calculate CR, SWD and LWLD.
CR = (Fr)T·A Ⓜ
SWD = (Fr)T·B Ⓜ
LWLD = (Fr)T·C Ⓜ
To be clear, the calculation of the CR at VS = 21.8 kn is shown.

The results are:

kn (m2) (m)
−4
Now it is possible to repeat the same ITTC’57 procedures above shown and taking ΔCF=2·10 , it is possible to articulate the resistance by a
single expression
RTS = {[(Fr)T A·Ⓜ]+{0.075/{Log10{{Vs [(Fr)T·C Ⓜ] λ)/νs}−2}2}+ΔCF}1/2ρ[(Fr)T·B Ⓜ] λ2 Vs2
By the following expressions it is possible to evaluate the sensitivity of the resistance to the displacement.
∂CR/∂Ⓜ = (Fr)T·A Ⓜi;
∂SWD/∂Ⓜ = (Fr)T·B Ⓜi;
∂LWLD/∂Ⓜ = (Fr)T·C Ⓜi;
ⓂiT = {0, 1, 2Ⓜ, 3Ⓜ2, 4Ⓜ3, 5Ⓜ4}
for Ⓜ = 6.34ⓂiT = {0, 1, 12.682, 120.625}
whereas an increase of the displacement of 1.0% leads to reducing the Ⓜ of 0.02, the above mentioned expressions give the following derivatives.
The next expressions give the variations of CR, SWD and LWLD:
δCR = - δⓂ·∂CR /∂Ⓜ.
δSWD = - δⓂ·∂SWD /∂Ⓜ.
δLWLD = - δⓂ·∂LWLD /∂Ⓜ.
235
F. De Luca, C. Pensa Ocean Engineering 139 (2017) 205–236
Finally, it is possible to calculate the final readings of CR, SWD and LWLD and, repeating the standard ship-model correlation, of the resistance
variations.
Comparing the resistances evaluated through the two ways, it is possible to observe differences of 1.0% and 0.2%.
