Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a device for reducing the wave-making resistance and friction force during ship navigation. The device includes a gas-liquid mixing device and a control device that are connected. The gas-liquid mixing device is provided with a water inlet, a gas inlet, a water outlet, and a gas-liquid mixing cavity arranged between the water inlet and the water outlet. Water and gas enter the gas-liquid mixing cavity via the water inlet and the gas inlet respectively, the control device controls gas intake at the gas inlet, and in this process, the water inlet is controlled to intermittently suspend water intake or intermittently implement low-speed water intake or implement continuous low-speed water intake, so that more gas enters the gas-liquid mixing cavity.
