PMM test on VLCC1&2, deep and shallow water

A set of standard PMM tests were performed in the INSEAN towing tank N. 2 with a model of the VLCC 1 and VLCC 2 equipped with rudder and propeller. The tests comprised test series for several approach speeds and water depth each with corresponding propeller revolutions for tests carried out at the model self-propulsion point. The tests were done with free pitch and heave. The test programme covered static and dynamic tests (pure yaw, pure sway, yaw with drift)
