  1. Improving Hydrodynamic Efficiency through Active and Passive Flow Control Harrison DiGia Advanced Science Research Period 7

  2. Need • 843 million tons of CO2 were released by international shipping in 2007 (International Maritime Organization) • Reducing the friction and the drag on a ship's hull could improve efficiency by up to 20% Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN) • 90% of all goods that were sent around the globe went by ship (Kodama, 2006)

  3. Active vs. Passive Flow Control • Passive Flow Control- No energy is necessary to modify flow • Active Flow Control- Energy is necessary http://drp2010.googlepages.com/golfballairflow.jpg http://gtresearchnews.gatech.edu/images/truckfuel1_md.jpg

  4. Bulbous Bow • Protrudes just below the waterline • Modifies flow • Ideal for large ships http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/images/bulbous-bow-image08.jpg

  5. The Effect of the Bulbous Bow http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/images/bulbous-bow-image08.jpg

  6. Micro-Bubbles http://www.newscientist.com/data/images/archive/2539/25391601.jpg

  7. Literature Review • Madavan et al., (1984)- Used porous plates to create bubbles • Kodama et al., (2000)- Performed micro-bubble experiments in a water tunnel • McCormick and Bhattchara (1973)- Used electrolysis to produce micro-bubbles • Yoshido (1998)- Used model ship and showed a 10% decrease in drag

  8. Do-ability • Water tunnel in lab • Software for active flow control can be designed • Boat is already made • Micro-bubbles can be created using a simple aquarium bubbler • Bulbous bow can easily be inserted into front of model ship

  9. Purpose • Combine active and passive flow control techniques and examine the effect on drag
