Abstract

Extensive resistance tests for a passenger boat(now in service at Chung-Ju lake) have been performed in a towing tank to investigate the effect of an artificial air cavity attached to the hull bottom on the reduction of the ship resistance. The attached air cavity has been observed at various air sully rates, from which we have determined a proper shape of an air supply device. In order to prevent the supplied air from leaking near the bilge of the ship, longitudinal barrier strips have been attached to both sides of the device. The investigation on their effectiveness reveals that a cascade system of the air supply device reduces the resistance of the ship furthermore. Energy saving of more than 10% is achieved at the design speed in spite of the additional power necessary for the air supply.

선저에 부착된 공기공동에 의한 실용 선박의 저항감소 효과를 조사하기 위하여 예인수조에서 충주호 유람선에 대한 저항실험을 수행하였다. 여러 가지 형상의 공기공급 노즐에 대해서 선저에 부착된 공기공동의 관측과 저항 계측이 수행되었으며 이로부터 적절한 공기공급 노즐의 형상을 결정하였다. 선박의 빌지부 근처에서의 공기누출을 억제하기 위하여 선박의 길이방향으로 공기유출막이 스트립을 공기공급 노즐의 양 측면에 부착하였다. 또한 두 개의 공기공급 노즐을 설치하여 두 개의 공기공동을 연속하여 발생시킬 수 있었으며 이로부터 더욱 큰 저항감소 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 효율 측면에서는 공기공급에 필요한 에너지를 고려하더라도 설계속도에서 10% 이상의 에너지절감 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.
