AN ENERGY SAVING APPARATUS

Rotational flows exist in the propeller slip stream of ships. If a method was developed that could recover the rotational flows (energy loss) efficiently, it would contribute to the energy saving of ships. The authors have made efforts to develop a practical apparatus for this purpose and developed the Kawasaki Rudder Bulb System with Fins (RBS-F). To date, RBS-F has been installed on more than 40 ships. This paper describes the development of RBS- F and its application to full scale ships.
