The purpose of this study is to evaluate the frictional resistance with sufficient accuracy and to evaluate the drag coefficient at high Reynolds numbers. We have measured the resistance of flat plate with using a towing tank. Correcting the wave-making resistance, pressure resistance, and drag on turbulence simulator, it is found that the measured frictional resistance is smaller than the Karman-Schoenherr formula. But it agrees with the values suggested by Osaka et. al and Osterlund et. al.
