Thrust Enhancement of DTMB 5415 with Elastic Flapping Foil in Regular Head Waves

Recent studies indicate that bow foil biomimetic systems can significantly improve ship propulsion in waves. In this paper, the DTMB 5415 ship model is taken as the object and a semi-active elastic flapping foil is proposed to install at its bow underwater position. When a ship sails in head wave, h...
