In an attempt to improve the maneuvering character of hull form renovated tuna purse seiner. A renovation was carried out on the 3 tuna purse seiner fishing vessel. To grasp the progress of maneuvering and resistance on ship B (730 ton class), new bulbous bow was only attached. The ship A (740 ton class) and C (600 ton class) were modified for new bulbous bow, enlarged slipway and rudder. And then the zigzag and the turning test were carried out. According to the turning test, the advance and the tactical diameter were improved very much for the modified ship. The sea trial was carried out for the original and modified ship A. It is showed that the results of sea trial corresponded with that of the tank test on the whole. In the result of the zigzag test on ship B, the turning ability was improved very much, but the yaw checking ability was deteriorated in just some degree. In the result of the zigzag test on ship C, the turning ability and yaw checking ability were remarkably improved. Ship C was greatly improved among the three ships for the maneuvering character of modified hull form.

For coastal service ships, the water depth is a very important parameter in the design stage of the hull form that has an influence on the restriction of the speed and draft of ships. In this study, the water depth is important for ship design. In this research, the change of total resistance, trim and sinkage due to the variation of water depth are measured by using on equipment for shallow water condition. For the basic research step about the shallow water effect, the effects on Series60($C_B=0.6$) hull form are experimented. To compare with existing experiment results, the test conditions are same with those. The water depth conditions are 10, 15, 20, 25% of LPP of the model ship, respectively.

Numerical analysis of viscous flow around twin-skeg hull forms was conducted according to the variations of distance between skegs and vertical skeg inclinations by using a hydrodynamic analysis system, WAVIS. Six twin-skeg hull forms were derived by combining three distances between skegs (16m, 20m, 24m) and four vertical skeg angles ($0^{\circ},\;10^{\circ},\;15^{\circ},\;20^{\circ}$). It is found that the better resistance performance can be obtained with larger vertical skeg angle and smaller skeg distance for the present test cases. It also can be seen that the same trend is true for the nominal wake distributions in the propeller plane. Those tendencies were confirmed by the experimental results of MOERI. It is shown that numerical analysis can be a useful and practical tool for the evaluation and improvement of hydrodynamic performances for the complex stern hull forms with twin skegs.

Preliminary conceptual design of hulls is developed and a theoretical evaluation study performed for the comparison of the hull concepts. Systematic variation of the side hull location is carried out to find an optimum position of side hulls for a trimaran by CFD computation. In order to compare computed results, the model test of trimaran was carried out. Shallow water effect is considered due to the route which has critical water depth of 20m for the design speed and investigated on the condition of different speeds and water depth by the numerical computations.

In the present study, stern form optimization has been carried out using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques. The viscous pressure drag has been minimized to optimize stern shape. Parametric modification function has been used to modify the shape of the hull. By the use of the parametric modification function and algebraic scheme to grid manipulation, the initial ship geometry was easily deformed according to change of design parameters. For purpose of illustration, KRISO 319K VLCC (KVLCC) is chosen for example ship to demonstrate stern form optimization. The numerical results indicate that the optimized hull yields a reduction in viscous resistance.

In recent years, Medium size high speed Ro-Pax vessel has appeared at European sea and especially Agean sea is a center of operating in this type of Ro-Pax. This vessel operates its high Froude number range and requires higher engine power due to considerably increased resistance in comparing to large Ro-Pax in high speed range. SHI has investigated this kind of high speed Ro-Pax in accordance with market requirements and developed more advanced vessel to meet the future market needs. Process of hull form development, model test results and design of general arrangement results are introduced in this paper.

The wave-pattern analysis has been one of important research tools in the towing tank, and applied for hull form design. The longitudinal-cut method of Newman and Sharma is adopted in KRIS deep towing tank. Instrumentations and data acquisition systems are developed for that. Local effects and truncation effects are estimated by using calculated wave patterns of simple source distributions. Wigley model of 2m is used to check the accuracy of the whole system. Cut positions and truncation points are changed to investigate characteristics of the wave-pattern analysis. Coefficients of wave-pattern resistance are low-estimated in comparison with those of Maruo and Ikehata. The general quality of the system is very good, but some more efforts to increase the accuracy are required. Two full-form models(one basic form, the other with bulbous bow) are tested to show high application-possibilities of the wave-pattern analysis for the hull form design.

Three-dimensional turbulent flows over ship sterns are measured by using the hot-wire anemometer and static holes in the wind tunnel. A conventional stern and a barge-type stern are adopted for the present study. Three components of mean velocities, pressures on the hull and six components of Reynolds stresses are measured. Longitudinal velocity contours are more parallel to the hull surface and weak bilge vortices appear on the barges type stern rather than the conventional stern. Those viscous flow patterns may have close relations to improvements of the resistance and propulsion performance, which have been verified in the towing tests. Measured data files are valuable for the ensuing numerical studies.

As the range of marine leisure activity gradually expands to ocean-going, a habitable cruise boat has been getting the limelight. Advanced countries in the marine leisure industry in Europe and North America have already secured their competitiveness in designing and building cruise boats by elegant design, ergonomic structure and fuel efficiency through the adoption of light-weight hull materials. In contrast, mostly small power boats are developed and built in Korea, and GFRP take up the most of hull materials. This study inquired into the design and characteristics of a 50ft-class CFRP that ocean-going is possible. The hull-form of the CFRP cruise boast were analyzed to propose a hull form for the designed ship (MMU-C.B), and based on that, the design model of the MMU-C.B was built. Finally, the MMU-C.B's characteristics of the resistance performance and hull-planing were found by comparative reviews with the results of model tests of GFRP pleasure yachts.
