A 1:35.2 scale model of the Pedro Miguel Lock was constructed in the 140-foot model basin at David W. Taylor Naval Ship R and D Center (DTNSRDC). A 19.2-foot ship model was used in experiments to define resistance and sinkage characteristics of a ship with maximum beam and draft transiting a lock of the Panama Canal. Model data are presented and a quasi-steady extrapolation technique is discussed. Results presented show a limiting speed due to resistance forces when entering the lock and a limiting speed due to grounding of the ship's bottom when exiting the lock. Recommendations of operation limits for full-scale ships are presented. (Author)
