<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a frictional resistance alleviating apparatus for a ship and a frictional resistance alleviating method for a ship which require less energy for jetting air and prevent air from deviating from a ship bottom toward the side of a hull. <P>SOLUTION: The frictional resistance alleviating apparatus 20 for the ship includes an air jetting device 30 which jets air from a hull-side bow 11a of a hull 10 into water, and a plurality of gas holding structures 40 which are structured to project downward from the ship bottom 13 of the hull 10. The plurality of gas holding structures 40 include a first gas holding structure formed along a left side edge of the ship bottom 13 and a second gas holding structure formed along a right side edge of the ship bottom 13. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
