Abstract

See full text

A viscous-drag-reducing cladding for a ship's hull whereby the wetted area of the hull is reduced by interspersing air between the hull surface and the water. A substantial portion of the submerged area of the ship's hull comprises densely packed air pockets. The dimension of the air pocket is less than twice the capillary length of water. Each air pocket is supplied with pressurised gas by means of a restrictor. The pressurised air is supplied to each air pocket by means of a network of corrugated channels.
