A full-scale resistance prediction for ships. More particularly, the invention is directed to full-scale resistance predictions for ships using model scale resistance tests. This process involves the designing of a momentum thickness similarity simulator for a model, to accurately determine a model resistance and ultimately to predict a ship resistance. The simulator modifies the geometry of the model, and its design is optimized to accurately predict the ship resistance. The simulator may be an external device such as a wire ring (trip wire), sand paper, or a Hama strip, or the simulator may be integrally formed on the body of the model.
