FULL FORM SHIP'S HULL WITH REDUCED WAVE MAKING RESISTANCE

摘要

The efficiency of a full form hull is improved by moving the position of the forward shoulder (3) forwards and upwards to obtain at least a partial antiphase interaction between the shoulder wave and bow wave, sufficient to prevent the bow wave from breaking at its second crest, and introducing a forwardly tapered portion (7) between the forward shoulder and the mid-body (1).
