  1. The Effect of Micro bubbles and Bulbous Bow on the Aerodynamic Efficiency of a Boat Harry Kucharczyk

  2. Need • $438 Million spent on annual boating fuel (Lipton 95) • 99.8% of goods are transported by ships • Carbon Dioxide emissions continue to rise

  3. Knowledge Base Bulbous Bow • Reduces shock wave • Decrease in friction drag http://www.globalsecurity.org

  4. Bulbous Bow

  5. Knowledge Base Micro Bubbles • Inserted in the boundary layer • Decreased viscosity and density of the fluid

  6. Literature Review • McCormick and Bhattchara (73)- injected hydrogen micro bubbles into the turbulent boundary layer • Kato (94)- determined reduced skin friction drag by 80% through the use of micro bubbles

  7. Do Ability • Water Tunnel is accessible in the lab • Boat has already been constructed • Bulbous bow can easily be inserted into the boat • Microbubbles can be made through a simple fish tank bubbler
