Although widely used, the design of the bulbous bow for ships has been difficult due to the complex interference between the wave system generated by the bulb and the wave system of the ship hull. Until now, a bulbous bow has been often designed using Kracht charts, which were established based on model test data, but these charts apply only to ships with a block coefficient C_B = 0.56-0.82, Froude number Fn = 0.20-0.40, and the obtained bulb sizes are only close to optimal. This paper presents a new method for the optimal design of bulbous bow, starting from the design of an initial bulb using Kracht charts for ships with any block coefficient or Froude number, then resizing this initial bulb to define the optimal bulb sizes based on a multi-objective function of the required power reduction, and a combined solution of Computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis and surrogate models. This study was applied to a fishing vessel FAO 75, which has been model tested and used to design steel fishing vessels in Vietnam recently. The obtained quantitative results showed the same trend as the theory and practice, with a reduction of the ship's required power by about 14%.

An attempt to improve the speed performance through the minimizing in wave resistance has been done by an application of gooseneck and no bulb type to bulbous bow for the DSME 78,500 Class LPG Carrier on the basis of the CFD calculation and comparatives model tests. The hydrodynamic characteristics according to the variation of the shape of Cp-curve, design load water line, frame line and bulbous bow that have an important effect on the wave resistance has been evaluated/calculated by ship-flow code. A wide variety in hull variation have been tried to have a good hull form with three types of fore-body hull forms mainly classified by the shape of bulbous bow. The speed performances for the three final hull forms with different bulbous bows have been evaluated through the model tests.

어선의 초기 설계 단계에서 필요한 초기선형의 선수미부 생성을 위하여 B-spline 곡선과 형상계수를 결합한 방법을 적용하였다. 선수미부의 각부분에 대하여 선형별로 형상계수를 선정한 뒤 이를 이용하여 B-spline 곡선의 정점을 구하도록 하였다. 선수부분의 경우 bulbous bow를 가지는 경우와 그렇지 않는 것으로 크게 분류한 뒤 bulbous bow를 가지는 경우는 수선면 근처의 형상에 따라 2가지로 분류하였다. 수선면보다 윗부분에 대해서는 bulbuos bow와는 무관하므로 이의 유무에 상관없이 직선으로 갑판까지 가는 경우와 곡선을 가지는 경우로 분류하여 다루었다. 선미부분의 경우는 수선면 윗부분은 transom stern과 cruiser stern으로 분류하였으며 수선면이하의 부분은 선미 bulb를 가진 선형과 shoe piece를 가진 선형으로 분류하여 다루었다. 형상계수는 각 경우에 따라 반드시 지켜야 할 점의 좌표와 기울기 등이 우선 선정되었으며 곡선부의 볼록한 정도를 조절해 주는 계수들이 선정되었다. 형상계수를 이용하여 곡선을 생성시킬 기법으로는 다항식, cubic spline, parabolic blending, bezier curve, non-algebraic function 등이 있으나 연속성이 충분히 보장되고, 국부적으로 변형이 가능하며, 불연속점이 정의 및 직선의 표현이 가능한 B-spline을 선택하였다

This paper deals with a new geometrical surface modeling method of forebody's hull form which is fully defined by form parameters. The complex hull form in the forebody can be modeled by the combination of three parts: bare hull, bulbous bow and blending part which connects a bare hull and a bulbous bow. All these subdomain parts are characterized by each own form parameters and constructed with simple surface model. For this, we need only 2-dimensional hull form data and then the form parameters are calculated automatically from these data. Finally, the smooth hull form surfaces are generated by parametric design and fair-skinning. In the practical point of view, we show that this new method can be useful and efficient modeling tool by applying to the hull form surface modeling of Panamax container's forebody.

This paper presents an optimization process for a catamaran hull form. The entire optimization process was managed using the CAD-CFD integration platform CAESES. The resistance of the demi-hull was simulated in calm water using the CFD solver STAR-CCM+, and an inviscid fluid model was used to reduce the computing time. The Free-Form Deformation (FFD) method was used to make local changes in the bulbous bow. For the optimization of the bulbous bow, the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA)-II was applied, and the optimization variables were the length, breadth, and angle between the bulbous bow and the base line. The Lackenby method was used for global variation of the bow of the hull. Nine hull forms were generated by moving the center of buoyancy while keeping the displacement constant. The optimum bow part was selected by comparing the resistance of the forms. After obtaining the optimum demi-hull, the distance between two demi-hulls was optimized. The results show that the proposed optimization sequence can be used to reduce the resistance of a catamaran in calm water.

While displacement type Deep-V mono hulls have superior seakeeping behaviour at speed, catamarans typically have modest behaviour in rough seas. It is therefore a logical progression to combine the superior seakeeping performance of a displacement type Deep-V mono-hull with the high-speed benefits of a catamaran to take the advantages of both hull forms. The displacement Deep-V catamaran concept was developed in Newcastle University and Newcastle University's own multi-purpose research vessel, which was launched in 2011, pushed the design envelope still further with the successful adoption of a novel anti-slamming bulbous bow and tunnel stern for improved efficiency. This paper presents the hullform development of this unique vessel to understand the contribution of the novel bow and stern features on the performance of the Deep-V catamaran. The study is also a further validation of the hull resistance by using advanced numerical analysis methods in conjunction with the model test. An assessment of the numerical predictions of the hull resistance is also made against physical model test results and shows a good agreement between them.

이 논문은 터빈 로터의 형상변화에 따른 공력 특성에 대하여 분석하였다. 본 논문의 터빈은 헬리콥터의 보조동력 장치로 사용되는 소형엔진이다. 소형엔진은 팁 형상의 구조적 취약성 때문에 성능을 향상시키기 어렵다. 그러므로, 터빈의 허브를 개선하는 것이 여러 가지 측면에서 유리하다. 터빈의 작동유체는 고온 고압의 가스이다. 터빈표면의 열전달률이 고려되었을 때, 열부하에 의한 블레이드의 손상을 줄이기 위해서는 블레이드 표면의 열전달률 분포를 고찰하여야 한다. 수치모사 결과를 검증용 실험값과 비교하였을 때, SST난류모델은 공력 특성을 잘 반영하고 열전달 예측성능도 우수하였다. 결론적으로, 허브측 선단에서 구륜설계(bulbous design)를 적용하였을 때 공력효율이 향상되었고, 전체 공력 손실 중 끝벽 손실은 15% 감소되었다.

Bulbous bow is one of the important design factors on the design of fore-body hull form. Using the interference technique of ship waves, the bulbous bow can decrease the wave resistance of ship. Recently, the goose neck bulb is applied mainly for high speed vessels like passenger ships and ferries etc.. Also, the goose neck bulb is applied for relatively high speed merchant vessels like container ships and LNG carriers. However, existing research papers about the goose neck bulb are not enough as reference data for the design of bow hull form. In this study, numerical calculations are carried out to investigate the bow wave characteristics of a high speed ferry with a normal high nose bulb or a goose neck bulb. By comparing the pressure distributions on the hull surface and the wave systems near the bow, the features of wave resistance reduction are discussed. Also, Numerical calculations were carried out for a series of goose neck bulbs to figure out the optimum bulb size. The maximum reduction rate of pressure resistance for the fore-body is achievable up to 8% by adopting the goose neck bulb in the present calculation.

In an attempt to respond to the increase in international oil prices and reduce operating expenses, ship remodeling was carried out on a 740ton class tuna purse seiner. To strengthen the competitiveness of the fisheries industry by improving vessel performance, a bulbous bow was newly equipped. The slipway and rudder area were also lengthened and enlarged with the propeller and main engine remained unchanged. To reduce the hull resistance, a circle type bulbous bow was attached on the hull behind bow thruster and thus the cost for exchanging electrical equipment for bow thruster was reduced. The new rudder area was expanded 15% more than the old one within the extent that the existing mechanical control part and rudder stock were not changed. To prevent fishing net damage and stabilize wake field, slipway was lengthened to the optimal position. All of the new design of remodeling parts went through the model tests in towing tank and CWC. Besides resistance test, all of necessary model test results were delivered for hydrodynamic character for the modified ship. The maneuvering simulation to verify that the remodeled ship satisfies the IMO rules was performed in both zigzag and turning tests. The estimated resistance with new bulbous bow and lengthened stern was reduced by 4.8% in the 2-dimensional analysis and 17.4% in the 3-dimensional analysis in comparison of conventional ship. The average reduction of resistance was estimated about 10%. Maneuvering character of modified hull form was found to satisfy all regulations under IMO. The remodeling of tuna purse seiner can not only improve fishing performance but also contribute to reduction of operating cost by saving energy for the fisheries industry.
