... at about 5% x/L to trip the flow in the model tests. The parasitic drag from the turbulence stimulators must be measured and subtracted from the model-scale resistance. In the new approach a momentum thickness simulator is used in place of a traditional turbulence stimulator. The purpose of the momentum...
