Matching Forces Applied in Underwater Hull Cleaning with Adhesion Strength of Marine Organisms
Biofouling is detrimental to the hydrodynamic performance of ships. In spite of advances in hull coating technology, a ship must usually undergo underwater hull cleaning to remove biofouling during her in-service time. However, some cleaning practices may also lead to decreased lifetime of the fouli...
