Improving a ship’s stern part could help to reduce
greenhouse gases and costs. However, a ship sailing in actual conditions
experiences disturbances that can affect its performance. Ship performance is
an important aspect of the design process that guarantees ship safety. The
heave and pitch motions of an improved fishing boat were predicted numerically
by using a hybrid scheme of Eulerian grid-Lagrangian particle, hereinafter
improving its stern part and attaching an additional part. The stern part
improvement and additional structure attachment affected an increase on the
heave amplitude from the ship’s basic form by 5% to 10%. Moreover, the
improvement of the stern part in the bottom area contributed to a better heave
amplitude than that of the side area. Finally, the pitch amplitude for all
forms was relatively small and affected an increase of 5% to 9%, dependent on the
form. The improvement had a greater effect on heave motion than pitch.

Energy efficiency has
drawn global attention to the decarbonizing of economies, the securing of energy supplies, and
the increasing of productivity. This attention has involved the marine
engineering field as well. To reduce ships’ greenhouse gas emissions, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has
urged the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) to identify and
develop mechanisms to achieve such a reduction (IMO, 2010). To this end, the
MEPC has introduced regulations focused on the limitation of CO2
production of newly built ships (MEPC, 2011). Optimization
of the hull form and appendages are necessary to match these targets, which
were both elaborated on by Legovic & Dejhalla (2016). This means that a ship’s geometry should be optimized
appropriately due to its significant relation to ship performance and energy
efficiency.
The resistance reduction improvements on the bow part of a fishing boat have been carried out by multiple researchers, such as Miyata et al. (1981), Miyata and Doi (1984), Suzuki et al. (1992), Kawashima et al. (2003) and Masuya (2007). However, few have been concerned with improvement on stern end bulb of Japanese fishing boats. Kim and Yang (2013), along with Gabor (2011), have recently conducted numerical works related to stern part improvement to reduce drag, and Supriadi et al. (2015) applied a replication of micro-riblets to a ship’s hull for drag reduction. That being said, the styles of fishing boats is known to vary as widely as fishing techniques.
Mutsuda
et al. (2013) studied the numerical resistance reduction of fishing boats by
improving the stern part. In this study, the improvement of the body line and the
addition of a structure at the stern part was examined to reduce drag resistance.
All of the cases proposed in this study could reduce water resistance with the
maximum reduction rate of around 15 to 20% when compared with the ship’s basic form
(original case). In addition, Suastika et al. (2017) studied the effects
of a stern foil application on ship
resistance by using a numerical method and comparing experimental results.
Based on the results, applying a stern part foil to decrease ship resistance
obtained an effect at high speed (Fr ? 0.5), decreasing ship resistance up to 10.0%. By
contrast, properly designed bulbous bows have been proven to reduce resistance
by 15% to 40%, depending on the steaming speed, overall hull proportions, etc.
(Friis et al., 2010, 2017).
Shenglong
et al. (2018) optimized the hull form of a ship in waves, based on
a CFD technique, but, the motions of pitch and heave were not computed and only
the ship motion was facilitated by the CFD technique. Kim et al. (2010) also optimized
a hull form for reduced resistance and improved seakeeping via practical
design-oriented CFD tools. In this paper, resistance reduction is clearly
explained and obtained. However, the evaluation of seakeeping using the Bales’
Ranking method could only quantify one wave condition (Kim et al., 2010). The
improvement of ship form, such as that of fishing boats, must also contribute
to good performance in a seaway, forcing designers to improve ship performance,
such as reducing ship response or motion. Therefore, we continue the study
(Mutsuda et al., 2013) by focusing on the motions of fishing boats as result of
stern part improvement using a hybrid scheme or hybrid Eulerian grid with
Lagrangian particle scheme. The improvement of the stern part in the bottom
area enhances the heave amplitude while the pitch amplitude for all forms is
relatively small and increases by 5% to 9%, depending on the form. Some
snapshots caused by nonlinear interactions between ship-wave could be captured
clearly.
In this study, the heave and pitch motions of a
ship were predicted using a hybrid Eulerian grid with Lagrangian particle
scheme. The stern part improvements and the additional structure attachments affected an increase on the heave
amplitude from the ship’s basic form of 5% to 10%, but the heave amplitude was insignificant if the form differed slightly. Moreover, the
improvement of the stern part in the bottom area contributed to a better heave
amplitude than the side area improvement. The pitch amplitude for all forms was
relatively small and was increased by 5% to 9%, depending on the form. The
improvement showed a greater effect on the heave motion than on the pitch
motion, but all forms were acceptable based on motion amplitude. The stern part
improvement influenced slight motion response in contrast with resistance reduction. The developed numerical method
(Baso et al., 2011; Mutsuda et al., 2013) of a hybrid Eulerian grid with Lagrangian particle could be used
practically in the preliminary ship design stage.
