7.3 Effective Horse Power (EHP)

• EHP : The power required to move the ship hull at a given

speed in the absence of propeller action (related to resistance)

(EHP is not related with Power Train System)

• EHP can be determined from the towing tank experiments at

the various speeds of the model ship.

• EHP of the model ship is converted into EHP of the full scale

ship by the Froude’s Law.

EHP is approximately equal to THP (usually slightly less)

7.6 Components of Total Resistance

• Total Resistance

AWVT RRRR Resistance Viscous: RV

Resistance Making Wave: RWResistance Air: RA

• Viscous Resistance

- Resistance due to the viscous stresses that the fluid exerts

on the hull.

( i.e. due to friction of the water against the surface of the ship)

- Water viscosity, ship’s velocity, wetted surface area and roughness

of the ship generally affect the viscous resistance.

Characterized by the non-dimensional Reynold’s Number, Rn

Page 14: Chap 7 Resistance and Powering of Ship Recall Static Equilibrium! What are the forces in the x- axis of the ship? –Resistance or Drag –Thrust (Propulsion)

Components of Total Resistance

• Wave-Making Resistance - Resistance caused by waves generated by the motion of the ship - Wave-making resistance is affected by beam to length ratio, displacement, shape of hull, (ship length & speed)

Characterized by the non-dimensional Froude Number, Fn

• Air Resistance - Resistance caused by the flow of air over the ship with no wind present - Air resistance is affected by projected area, shape of the ship above the water line, wind velocity and direction - Typically 4 ~ 8 % of the total resistance

Coefficient of Viscous Resistance

• Viscous Flow around a ship

Real ship : Turbulent flow exists from near the bow.

Model ship : Studs or sand strips are attached at the bow

to create the turbulent flow.

- Relation between viscous flow and Reynolds number

· Laminar flow : In laminar flow, the fluid flows in layers

in an orderly fashion. The layers do not mix transversely

but slide over one another.

• Normal Component

- Normal component causes a pressure distribution along the

underwater hull form of ship

- A high pressure is formed in the forward direction opposing

the motion and a lower pressure is formed aft.

- Normal component generates the eddy behind the hull.

- It is affected by hull shape.

Fuller shape ship has larger normal component than slender

ship.

Wave-Making Resistance

Transverse wave system : Waves perpendicular to wake

• It travels at approximately the same speed as the ship.• At slow speed, several crests exist along the ship length

because the wave lengths are smaller than the ship length.• As the ship speeds up, the length of the transverse wave

increases.• When the transverse wave length approaches the ship length,

the wave making resistance increases very rapidly.

This is the main reason for the dramatic increase in

Total Resistance as speed increases.

Page 27: Chap 7 Resistance and Powering of Ship Recall Static Equilibrium! What are the forces in the x- axis of the ship? –Resistance or Drag –Thrust (Propulsion)

Divergent Wave System: waves that angle out

• It consists of Bow and Stern Waves.

• Interaction of the bow and stern waves create the Hollow or

Hump on the resistance curve.

• Hump : When the bow and stern waves are in phase,

the crests are added up so that larger divergent wave systems

are generated.

• Hollow : When the bow and stern waves are out of phase,

the crests match the troughs so that smaller divergent wave

systems are generated.

Calculation of Wave-Making Resistance Coeff.

• Wave-making resistance is influenced by: - beam to length ratio - displacement - hull shape - Froude number• The calculation of the coefficient is too complex for a simple theoretical or empirical equation. (Because mathematical modeling of the flow around ship is very complex since there exists fluid-air boundary, wave-body interaction)• Therefore model test in the towing tank and Froude expansion are the best way to calculate the Cw of the real ship.

Page 29: Chap 7 Resistance and Powering of Ship Recall Static Equilibrium! What are the forces in the x- axis of the ship? –Resistance or Drag –Thrust (Propulsion)

Reducing Wave Making Resistance

1) Increasing ship length to reduce the transverse wave - Hull speed will increase. - Therefore increment of wave-making resistance of longer ship will be small until the ship reaches to the hull speed.

Reducing Wave Making Resistance (cont’d)

2) Attaching Bulbous Bow to reduce the bow divergent wave

- Bulbous bow generates the second bow waves .

- Then the waves interact with the bow wave resulting in

ideally no waves, practically smaller bow divergent waves.

- EX :

DDG 51 : 7 % reduction in fuel consumption at cruise speed

3% reduction at max speed.

design &retrofit cost : less than $30 million

life cycle fuel cost saving for all the ship : $250 mil.

Tankers & Containers : adopting the Bulbous bow

3) Stern flaps - helps with launching small boats, too!

Other Type of Resistances

• Appendage Resistance

- Frictional resistance caused by the underwater appendages

such as rudder, propeller shaft, bilge keels and struts

- 224% of the total resistance in naval ship.

• Steering Resistance

- Resistance caused by the rudder motion.

- Small in warships but troublesome in sail boats

•Added Resistance

- Resistance due to sea waves which will cause the ship

motions (pitching, rolling, heaving, yawing).

Page 34: Chap 7 Resistance and Powering of Ship Recall Static Equilibrium! What are the forces in the x- axis of the ship? –Resistance or Drag –Thrust (Propulsion)

Other Resistances

• Increased Resistance in Shallow Water

- Resistance caused by shallow water effect

- Flow velocities under the hull increases in shallow water.

: Increment of frictional resistance due to the velocities

: Pressure drop, suction, increment of wetted surface area

Increases frictional resistance

- The waves created in shallow water take more energy from

the ship than they do in deep water for the same speed.

Increases wave making resistance

7.7 Basic Theory Behind Ship Modeling

• Modeling a ship - Not possible to measure the resistance of the prototype ship - The ship needs to be scaled down to test in the tank but the scaled ship (model) must behave in exactly same way as the real ship. - How to scale the prototype ship ? How to make relationships between the prototype and model data? - Geometric and Dynamic similarity must be achieved.

• Variable Pitch (the standard prop):

- The pitch varies at the radial distance from the hub.

- Improves the propeller efficiency.

- Blade may be designed to be adjusted to a different

pitch setting when propeller is stopped.

• Controllable Pitch :

- The position of the blades relative to the hub can be

changed while the propeller is rotating.

- This will improve the control and ship handling.

- Expensive and difficult to design and build

• Due to a difference in the pressure at the top and bottom of the prop (due to boundary layer), the lower part of the prop works harder.

• This leads to a slight turning moment.

• Right hand props cause turns to port when moving ahead.

Chap 7.9.3 Propeller Cavitation

• Cavitation : Definition

- The formation and subsequent collapse of vapor bubbles

on propeller blades where pressure has fallen below the

vapor pressure of water.

- Bernoulli’s Equation can be used to predict pressure.

- Cavitation occurs on propellers (or rudders) that are

heavily loaded, or are experiencing a high thrust loading

coefficient.

Flow velocities at the tip are fastest so that pressure drop occurs at the tip first.

Large and stable region of cavitation covering the suction face of propeller.

Consequences of Cavitation

1) Low propeller efficiency (Thrust reduction)

2) Propeller erosion (mechanical erosion as bubbles

collapse, up to 180 ton/in² pressure)

3) Vibration due to uneven loading

4) Cavitation noise due to impulsion by the bubble

collapse

Propeller Cavitation

• Preventing Cavitation

- Remove fouling, nicks and scratch.

- Increase or decrease the engine RPM smoothly to avoid

an abrupt change in thrust.

- For submarines, diving to deeper depths will delay or

prevent cavitation as hydrostatic pressure increases.

Propeller Cavitation

• Ventilation

- If a propeller or rudder operates too close to the water surface, surface air or exhaust gases are drawn into the propeller blade due to the localized low pressure around propeller. The prop “digs a hole” in the water.

- The load on the propeller is reduced by the mixing of air or exhaust gases into the water causing effects similar to those for cavitation.

-Ventilation often occurs in ships in a very light condition(small draft), in rough seas, or during hard turns.
