Abstract

A hull form is 181K DWT Bulk Carrier, of which new design and hull form have been developed using CFD tools and model tests. The basic concept design of hull form has been carried out with considering the factors, which are a lot of influence of the wave and viscosity resistance. The considered factors of particular are LCB, DLWL shape, tern and stem profile, Cp-curve shape, etc. Numerical calculations are carried out in the initial design stage and experimental model tests are also carried out in towing tank of MOERI. The variation of the significantly effective characteristics is carried out to achieve optimized hull form. The results from numerical calculations and model test as well as the design procedures to obtain an optimized hull form resent in this paper.
