Bulbous Bow Design for Full Hull Forms
Nowadays bulbous bows of considerable dimensions have become quite common in use for low speed ships of large block coefficients, such as mammoth oil tankers and bulk carriers.Author who has concerned himself with bulbous bow design for such ships last three years presented his conjecture over how bulbs would work to reduce the residuary resistance ...

A SYSTEMATIC INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF VARIOUS BULBOUS BOWS ON RESISTANCE OF FISHING BOATS
In this study, Delta (Δ), Nabla (∇) and Elliptical (O) shaped bulbs are implemented to ITU Fishing Boats Series hull forms of 148/3, 148/4, 148/8 and 148/9 in order to determine the most appropriate bulbous bow for fishing vessels.
