RESISTANCE COEFFICIENT AND ENERGY SAVING POTENTIALITY OF TOWING TRAIN

Minyan Zhu, Hong Zhang

Abstract

Based on barge model tests and full scale barge train trials, formulae for calculating the resistance of a single barge and towing train respectively are presented using multi-variable regression analysis. The influence of the barge numbers, first barge form and the shallow water effect on the resistance of the towing train is analyzed and the energy-saving potential is also discussed.
