Effects of coating roughness and biofouling on ship resistance and powering.

TL;DR: Predictions of full-scale ship resistance and powering are made for antifouling coating systems with a range of roughness and fouling conditions at cruising speed and near maximum speed, and results indicate that slime films can lead to significant increases in Resistance and powering.
