NW Branch Lecture: Uncertainty Analysis for a Towing Tank Measurement and Data Processing Method

Abstract
In modern society and industry, demand is increasing to quantify the uncertainty associated with our activities and processes.

This presentation provides a brief overview of the procedures and algorithms used to quantify uncertainty in a controlled laboratory environment. It describes the steps taken to determine the uncertainty levels using ITTC’s guidelines for self-propulsion test uncertainty analysis. The results provide insight into the prediction accuracy achieved by Newcastle University’s new facility under calm water conditions.
