  • Publication number: 20140230715
    Abstract: Disclosed is an excitation force reducing type ship. An excitation force reducing type ship according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a hull having a rear end with a propeller; and an excitation force reducing module which forms an air layer for generating reflected waves on a surface of the hull neighboring the propeller during an operation of the propeller so as to reduce the excitation force in the direction of the hull, wherein the excitation force reducing module can be arranged eccentrically with respect to a center line penetrating through the center of the axis of rotation of the propeller in a vertical direction of the hull.

  • Patent number: 7988509
    Abstract: A flow control mechanism is provided for controlling a stern flow field disturbed by cooling water discharged from the cooling water outlet of a ship. The flow control mechanism is located within a distance, which corresponds to three times the diameter of the cooling water outlet, from the cooling water outlet, is installed at an angle from 16° to 30° with respect to the horizontal plane of a hull, and has a vertical height, which is within a range from 0.2 times to 0.6 times the diameter of the cooling water outlet in a vertical direction of the hull, and a horizontal width, which is within a range from 0.5 times to 1.3 times the diameter of the cooling water outlet in a horizontal direction of the hull. Thereby, the flow control mechanism restores the distribution of wake flow that encounters a propeller so that the distribution of the wake flow is symmetrical around the central axis of the hull, and reduces the generation of a cavity.

  • Patent number: 7857672
    Abstract: A flow control mechanism, for improving pressure resistance and hull vibration, includes a lower fin and an upper fin. The lower fin is disposed between a second station and a fourth station in a length direction of a ship and between 10% and 20% of a design draft from a bottom of the ship in a height direction of the ship, the lower fin being inclined at an angle of 20 to 40 degrees with respect to a design draught (or base) line. The upper fin is disposed between the second station and the fourth station in the length direction of the ship and between 30% and 60% of the design draft from the bottom of the ship in the height direction of the ship, the upper fin being inclined at an angle of 10 to 30 degrees with respect to the design draught (or base) line.
