This paper presents the analysis of resistance performance and bow waves for the resistance-minimized hull form of small fishing boat by using numerical simulations and model tests. The resistance-minimized hull form is developed from an original hull form which is selected from existing small fisher boats in our country. In order to estimate the resistance performance for the original and the developed hull form, several numerical simulations and model tests are carried out. Marker and Cell(MAC) method and Marker-Density method are adopted to simulate the free-surface bow waves around advancing hull surface. The results of numerical simulations are compared with the model tests in towing tank. The results show that the resistance performance of the resistance-minimized hull form is improved than that of the original hull form. The results of this study will be a good guide to the hull form development of small fishing boats in future.

In order to prepare the fuel-economic hull form design method for fine higher-speed ships, systematic theoretical and experimental study has been performed on the relation between hull form characteristics and ship's resistance and on the effect of the optimization of main hull form characteristics. The results of this study provide not only a great insight into the relation between ship's resistance and hull form characteristics, but also a proper direction of the optimization of main hull form characteristics for the improvement of ship's resistance characteristics.

To obtain low resistance and high efficiency energy-saving ship, minimum total resistance hull form design method is studied based on potential flow theory of wave-making resistance and considering the effects of tail viscous separation. With the sum of wave resistance and viscous resistance as objective functions and the parameters of B-Spline function as design variables, mathematical models are built using Nonlinear Programming Method (NLP) ensuring the basic limit of displacement and considering rear viscous separation. We develop ship lines optimization procedures with intellectual property rights. Series60 is used as parent ship in optimization design to obtain improved ship (Series60-1) theoretically. Then drag tests for the improved ship (Series60-1) is made to get the actual minimum total resistance hull form.

There have been many investigations of predicting the added resistance of a ship in seaway since Havelock discussed this topic in 1937. Among these researches, Maruo's theoretical approach is known as the most consistent mathematical representation for added resistance of a ship in regular head sea. In his theory, the hull form of a ship is represented under the slender body approximation. But the motion responses which were used for the calculation of the added resistance have been obtained by using the strip method which is based on an approximation that the hull form may be expressed as set of two dimensional cylinder sections in longitudinal direction. Therefore two different methods for hull form representation were implicity used in Maruo's original work for the added resistance calculation. Utilizing the characteristics that hull forms are usually slender, Kan expressed the hull form as two dimensional cylinder at each station by using the Taylor series expansion for the length wise direction. Putting this idea into Maruo's original work, the added resistance can be obtained with the explicitly unique representation of the hull form. For the purpose of comparison the added resistance of a hull form(series 60, Cb=0.6) was calculated by using the motion response obtained by Shintani. The numerical result showes a good qualitative agreement with the experimental result by Sibul.

In this study, hull form of main vessel of Korean large purse seiner fishing industry is developed for the improvement of resistance performance as well as for the satisfaction to the Standard of Fishing Convention, ILO. Through the modification of reference hull form parameters and local characteristics, the hull form development is carried out. The optimum hull form parameters are searched by Sequential Quadratic Programing(SQP) method with the power estimation method of Holtrop & Mannen. To minimize the wave resistance, bulbous bow parameters are determined by the bulbous bow design method of Alvarino. The plasmatic curve is redesigned from that of the reference hull by using Lackenby method. The resistance performances of the reference and designed hull forms are estimated by using numerical simulation method. Also, the judgment of seakeeping ability and the estimation of intact stability for the designed hull form is carried out. As a result, the optimum hull form is proposed. To verify the improvement of resistance performance, model tests are carried out in towing tank. The results show that the resistance of the designed hull form is about 14% smaller than that of the reference hull from at design speed. A new hull form proposed in this study can contribute to the development of the main vessel hull form of Korean large purse seiner fishing system.

This study is concerned with the development of the basic planing hull form of small fishing boat in 25 knots high speed. A series of model test to determine the optimum performance hull form of actual fishing boat with 10 gross tonnage was carried out for 5 models made available planing hull form in the circulation water channel. Model test was performed with the resistance test to study the hydrodynamic characteristics of model ships and the sinkage and trim measurement to investigate the stability of model ships and also the wave pattern observation to analyze the effectiveness of model ships. As the result, the planing hull form of P-4 with deep V type bow can be derived as the best hull form with good performance especially in ship's resistance efficiency showing less residual resistance and sinkage and trim and the spray effect, etc..

This paper uses optimization techniques to obtain bow hull form of a 66,000 DWT bulk carrier in calm water and in waves. Parametric modification functions of SAC and section shape of DLWL are used for hull form variation. Multi-objective functions are applied to minimize the wave-making resistance in calm water and added resistance in regular head wave of ${\lambda}/L=0.5$. WAVIS version 1.3 is used to obtain wave-making resistance. The modified Fujii and Takahashi's formula is applied to obtain the added resistance in short wave. The PSO algorithm is employed for the optimization technique. The resistance and motion characteristics in calm water and regular and irregular head waves of the three hull forms are compared. It has been shown that the optimal brings 13.2% reduction in the wave-making resistance and 13.8% reduction in the added resistance at ${\lambda}/L=0.5$; and the mean added resistance reduces by 9.5% at sea state 5.

Hull form development for an AFRAMAX tanker characterized by the form parameters of $C_B\simeq0.8$, $L/B\simeq5.5$, $B/T\simeq3.5$, han been carried out by the application of ‘Composite Stern Frameline Concept’. The viscous resistance of the new form was much smaller than that of the conventional form. Form factor of the new form was only 0.18 compared to 0.30 for the conventional hull form, Nevertheless the propulsive efficiency was slightly lower and thus the required propulsion power was smaller by 5~6% at both full load and ballast condition. In addition, it is confirmed that introduction of the form factor method such as ITTC’78 method is highly advisable because there is a great risk of the underperdicting full scale resistance of the hull form whose form the extrapolation of moel resistance to full scale is to be based on Froude method with the correlation allowances usually applied to conventional hull forms.

This paper was intended to compare the relationship between sectional form of ships and wave making resistance by calculating the resistance value practically rather than theoretically. As the sectional form of ships, four types of quadratic ship forms was introduced and he wave making resistance was calculated by the Slender Ship Theory. The main result obtained in this paper is the following. The relationship between the displacement distribution of draught direction in the given sectional form of ships and the resistance value was shown. It was supposed that the resistance value will decrease with the increase of the displacement distribution of draught direction and it was proved by the numerical value.
