It describes how modern bulbous bows typically have a wedge shape that tapers sharply below to reduce slamming. Bulbous bows can reduce resistance by up to 20% depending on the ship's Froude number. While bulbous bows decrease resistance, they may increase the ship's calculated length for classification if they project above the waterline.Download nowDownloadSave The Bulbous Bow – Types, Characteristics, And Effe...

Here the water flows around the hull such that it reduces drag and increased fuel efficiency (up to 12% to 15% more than those ships that don’t have a bulbous bow), speed, range, and most importantly stability., The document discusses the types, characteristics, and effects of bulbous bows on ships.
