Primes¶
- Biofouling
- Marine engineering supplies the canonical case — algae, barnacles, and tubeworms colonise a hull, raising drag and fuel consumption
This sourceQuantifies how accumulating hull fouling (slime, then calcareous macrofouling) raises frictional drag and fuel consumption, with cost driven by occupation/roughness rather than organism activity, and a sharp rise past a roughness threshold.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract states that hull fouling's primary cost is higher fuel consumption from higher frictional drag, supporting the drag/fuel half of the claim but not the named organisms.
“The results indicate that the primary cost associated with fouling is due to increased fuel consumption attributable to increased frictional drag.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
