Model Testing of Ships Since the time of Benjamin Franklin, designers have tried to determine the properties of a ship by studying the behavior of reduced size models in a test basin. They soon realized that such studies with models did not accurately show the properties of its full size counterpart, and it was not until William Froude’s work in the 1860s that it was understood why the model testing was unsatisfactory. Froude determined that a ship’s speed through water was controlled by two factors: first, the friction of the water on the hull, and secondly, the waterwaves created by the vessel as its hull displaced the water on its course. These two factors are governed by different physical laws, and must be taken into account when extrapolating from the model to its full- size pattern. Naval architects have now found these model studies have great value, and a basin 360 ft. in length is available at the University of Michigan should research require such a length. #2219 In Holland, the Dutch have taken the model testing into a new area, with the construction of a fully enclosed testing basin, in which the ambient air pressure can be reduced to a fraction of atmospheric, and with the basin’s wave making capabilities is said to more accurately demonstrate the effect of waves on ships, and offshore structures such as oil drilling rigs.

Florida Council of Yacht Clubs From the Director to the FLORIDA COUNCIL OF YACHT CLUBS Jon Williams Is it really 2013 already? I am not sure I was ready for 2012 to be over quite as soon as it was a very interesting year. We had some major changes at our yacht club with the hiring of a new General Manager. She has made some difficult decisions that I feel sure everyone has noticed. We had fireworks for the first time for the Fourth of July celebration, we have a new executive chef that has been well received and we have a new dock master that is doing a great job by all reports. These are just a few of the most visible changes and I expect in 2013 we will continue to see more of the same. Certainly some of this credit must also go to our Board of Directors who has had to make some tough choices. At the same time we have had an interesting year at the FCYC. In 2012 we admitted a new club to the council, Pelican Isles Yacht Club in Naples Florida. The Council held six General Meetings, around the state, and Eau Gallie won four of the attendance awards. That award signifies the wonderful support our members give to the FCYC and it certainly enhances our reputation as a council member. A special thanks to our members who attend many of the meetings on a regular basis. The FCYC also updated the “Guide to The Clubs” and the new addition will be available at our club by the end of this month. The Council also had a good year financially and as a result they have lowered the yearly dues to all the clubs. We can only hope that the coming year will be as good to our club and the council as 2012 was. This month the General Meeting will be held at Smyrna Yacht Club in New Smyrna Beach on January 11th – 13th. This might be a good time to make one more new years resolution and attend at least one FCYC meeting this year. New Smyrna is close and it looks like a very interesting and entertaining meeting is planned. On Saturday morning a tour of the Boston Whaler boat factory is scheduled which should be very informative. All the details on the meeting are on the FCYC website or you can contact Emily in her office at the club. Also be sure to make your reservations with Emily even if you just come up for the Saturday meetings. We need to keep that winning attendance award going into the new year. Hope to see you there! Happy New Year! Jon Williams I SPY! Somewhere hidden in this Newsletter is a member number. If you find it and it’s yours, you’ll be treated to a lunch for two at the Club! Just call Emily Carew at 321-773-2600, before the end of the month to claim your prize! Don’t Miss Out on the Fun!

Model Testing of Ships<br />
Since the time of Benjamin<br />
Franklin, designers<br />
have tried to determine<br />
the properties of a ship<br />
by studying the behavior<br />
of reduced size models<br />
in a test basin. They<br />
soon realized that such<br />
studies with models did not accurately show<br />
the properties of its full size counterpart, and<br />
it was not until William Froude’s work in the<br />
1860s that it was understood why the model<br />
testing was unsatisfactory. Froude determined<br />
that a ship’s speed through water was controlled<br />
by two factors: first, the friction of the water<br />
on the hull, and secondly, the waterwaves created<br />
by the vessel as its hull displaced the water<br />
on its course. These two factors are governed by<br />
different physical laws, and must be taken into<br />
account when extrapolating from the model to<br />
its full- size pattern. Naval architects have now<br />
found these model studies have great value,<br />
and a basin 360 ft. in length is available at the<br />
University of Michigan should research require<br />
such a length. #2219<br />
In Holland, the Dutch have taken the model<br />
testing into a new area, with the construction<br />
of a fully enclosed testing basin, in which the<br />
ambient air pressure can be reduced to a fraction<br />
of atmospheric, and with the basin’s wave<br />
making capabilities is said to more accurately<br />
demonstrate the effect of waves on ships, and<br />
offshore structures such as oil drilling rigs. (you<br />
must look elsewhere if you want a full explanation<br />
of this.)<br />
