Research Background Topic 1 : Bow hull-form optimization in calm water and waves Optimizer : PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) Wave-making resistance in calm water : 13.2% reduction Added resistance in head waves At λ/L=0.5 : 13.8% reduction At sea state 5 : 9.5% reduction Total resistance in calm water and waves RAO of heave and pitch motions Topic 2 : Effect of ship motions on added resistance in regular head waves : KVLCC2 Model test in regular head waves The averaged values of the ship motions in calm water and waves Added resistance and ship motions in waves Phase lag of ship motion to added resistance in waves Topic 3 : Effects of diffraction in regular head waves on added resistance and wake Objective ships : K-Supramax & KCS Added resistance in waves wake on the propeller plane in waves : K-Supramax The orbital motion of water particles affects the wake region; the wake velocity is accelerated/decelerated at wave crest/through. Time histories of the mean wake velocity at constant r during one encounter period Fixed condition Free condition Topic 4 : FDR-AF Paint Toms effect & Polymer FDR Agent Addition of few ppm of a high molecular weight polymer → up to 80% FDR Major applications : petroleum pipeline Ship application? Injection holes? Reliability? SPC(Self-Polishing Copolymer) + Polymer DR agent → FDR paint Rotor Braking Test : Comparison of Braking Time △CF Calculator using Granvile's Similarity Scaling : Results Extrapolation or 176K Bulk Carrier Effect on Full-Scale Resistance Performance FDR(Frictional Drag Reduction)-AP : found to give 18.2% drag reduction in full-scale relative to baseline AF Cf. FOC decrease by 48.06% (before & after dry docking)
