Review of Air Layer Drag Reduction Technology on Ships
With the requirement of global ecological environment and the proposed goal of"carbon peak and carbon neutrality",the ship air-layer drag reduction technology,as an effective means to reduce carbon in marine transportation,has attracted more attention in recent years.The generation process and working principle of the air-layer in the technology are described,and the development and research status of ship air-layer drag reduction technology is analyzed from the aspects of model experiment theory and numerical calculation,and some typical application examples and actual effect from the main research institutions are analyzed.Based on these research and application status,the technical problems and development direction of the ship air-layer drag reduction is looked forward.
