한국표준형화물선(韓國標準型貨物船)에 있어서의 구상선수(球狀船首)의 효과(效果)

The resistance decreasing effects of a bulbous bow have been investigated with the model test results of the Korean standard type 10,000GT cargo vessel equipped with several different sized bulbous bows. The best bulbous bow for the design is 3.66% bulb which decrease the residual resitance 5%. The new hull combined with a bulbous bow have to be designed in other to get more effects.
