Numerical Investigation of the Automatic Air Intake Drag Reduction Strut Based on the Venturi Effect

Drag reduction by injecting air is a promising engineering method for improving ship performance. A novel automatic air intake drag reduction strut structure based on the Venturi effect is proposed for the high-speed small water-plane area twin hull vessels in the present study. The drag reduction s...
