| Description | Full-scale sea trials demonstrate a ship’s performance under real operating conditions to confirm whether a ship meets its specifications and requirements. The determination of the performance through a sea trial is the most important stage in the ship design cycle. If one is relying on measurements of propeller shaft power or fuel consumption, the distinction between the propeller and hull efficiencies may not be made. In order to be able to identify the propeller efficiency separate from the hull, full-scale propeller thrust should be accurately measured. In this study, full-scale measurements of the propeller thrust, torque, and revolution for a series of crude oil tankers and twin-skeg LNG carrier were conducted during the speed trials. Two different measuring systems, strain gauge and optical type, were implemented to compare the performance of sensors. As a result, it was shown that the strain gauge type-measuring device matched the model test results relatively well compared to the optical device. Above all, in the case of the optical device, it has been demonstrated that the zero setting is important to increase the accuracy of the full-scale measurements. |
