Maneuverability Performance of a KRISO Container Ship (KCS) with a Bulb-Type Wavy Twisted Rudder and Asymmetric Pre-Swirl Stator

The maneuverability performance of a KCS with energy-saving devices was investigated. A bulb-type wavy rudder and an asymmetric pre-swirl stator were used as energy-saving devices because their use resulted in considerable efficiency gain. A validated simulation method based on the maneuvering model...

description The maneuverability performance of a KCS with energy-saving devices was investigated. A bulb-type wavy rudder and an asymmetric pre-swirl stator were used as energy-saving devices because their use resulted in considerable efficiency gain. A validated simulation method based on the maneuvering modeling group model was used for the simulation in this study. Turning circle, 10/10 zigzag, and 20/20 zigzag tests were simulated to compare various cases with and without a stator as well as conventional full-spade and bulb-type wavy rudders. Remarkable maneuverability performance was achieved, particularly with a bulb-type wavy rudder, and starboard–port unbalancing due to the one-directional propeller action was almost eliminated using these devices. The findings of this study will be useful in the development of more reliable autonomous maritime surface ships.
