Abstract
A structure for reducing the drag of a ship and its application thereof is provided. The structure for reducing the drag of a ship comprising at least one turbulence generator which is installed on the side surface between the widest section and the aft end or on the bottom surface between the deepest portion and the aft end of the ship. The arrangement of the turbulence generator can generate turbulence to reduce the drag of the ship, and thereby increase the speed of the ship or reduce fuel consumption as well.
Claims8
A structure for reducing the drag of a ship and its application, comprising:
- a hull, comprising a fore end and an aft end, wherein a keel line is formed between said fore end and said aft end of said hull;
- and
- at least one turbulence generator, provided on the side surface between the widest section and the aft end of said hull, or on the bottom surface between the deepest portion and the aft end of said hull, thereby the arrangement of the turbulence generator generates turbulence to reduce the drag of the ship while sailing.
