A Review on the Drag Reduction Methods of the Ship Hulls for Improving the Hydrodynamic Performance

Hydrodynamic performance of a marine vessel mainly depends on the frictional and pressure resistance. Pressure drag reduction could be achieved by improving the shape of the vessels with implementation of modern hull forms. Hull forms optimization techniques could also be used for this purpose. Othe...
