Following a general discussion on the effect of sea states on vessels at a meeting of the Technical Committee, held in London on 7 January 1976, those taking part were invited to submit written contributions, a selection of which is printed below.P. H. Tanner (Glasgow University): It is a matter of experience for most small craft users that the steepest seas encountered in open waters are those that originate from the bow wave systems of passing ships. It is a matter of observation that these bow waves are of great persistence.

Purpose – This paper aims to critically engage with the premise of development at the “bottom of the pyramid” through consideration of the current and potential future status of the workers who dismantle end-of-life ships in the breaking yards of “less developed countries”, here with specific reference to the dynamic situation in Bangladesh. Design/methodology/approach – The study applies “critical scenario method” (CSM) to explore different possible and plausible futures for the ship-breaking industry globally and locally. Findings – The paper argues that the status of the workers in the ship-breaking industry of Bangladesh can be conceptualised as firmly set at the “bottom of the pyramid”, and that, for most if not all, this situation cannot be changed within any industry future without wider, radical change to socioeconomic and political structures both in the country and globally. Originality/value – This paper offers a contribution to the discourse on consumption at the “bottom of the pyramid” as a development process.

Analytical Relations

The bow wave generated by a steadily advancing ship is considered for a family of fine ruled ship bows with rake and flare. This family of ship bows is defined in terms of four parameters: the ship draft D, the entrance angles a and a' at the top and bottom waterlines, and the rake angle 8. The corresponding bow wave similarly depends on four parameters: the draft-based Froude number F and the three angles a, a', and 8. An extensive parametric study, based on thin-ship theory, is performed to explore the variations of the water height Z0 at the ship stem X = 0, the location X0 (measured from the ship stem) of the intersection of the bow-wave profile with the mean free-surface plane Z = 0, and the bow-wave profile, with respect to the four parameters F, a, a', and 8. This parametric study extends the previously reported similar study of the height Zb of the bow wave and the location Xb of the bow-wave crest. These two complementary parametric studies yield simple analytical relations, which extend relations given previously for wedge-shaped ship bows without rake or flare. In spite of their remarkable simplicity, the analytical relations given here yield bow waves that are comparable to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) waves given by Euler-flow calculations. The analytical relations, which explicitly account for the influence of the four primary parameters F, a, a', and 8, can be used immediately—without hydrodynamic calculations—for ship design, notably at early design stages when the precise hull geometry is not yet known. The study also provides insight for ship bow design. Specifically, it suggests that a bow with positive rake and negative flare may be beneficial, and that a bulb located aft of the stem and integrated with the hull may be an advantageous alternative to a traditional bulb protruding ahead of the bow, in agreement with the results of a hull-form optimization analysis.

Bow Wave

The KRISO container ship model is used for numerical simulations to investigate hydrodynamic performance under high speeds. Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) and delayed detached eddy simulation (DDES) approaches are used to resolve the flow field around the ship model. High-resolution Volume of Fluid (VOF) technique in OpenFOAM is used to capture the free surface. The present work focuses on the wave-breaking phenomena of high-speed ships. To study the speed effects on the phenomenon of ship bow wave breaking, three different speeds, i.e., Fn = .26, .35, and .40, are investigated for a fixed ship model in calm water. Predicted resistance and wave patterns under Fn = .26 are validated with available experimental data, and a good agreement is achieved. The breaking wave phenomena can be observed from both URANS and DDES results for Froude numbers greater than .35. And the Fn = .40 case shows more violent breaking bow waves. The process of overturning and breaking of bow wave is more complex in the DDES results, and some small-scale free surface features are also captured. The predicted bow wave is compared with the experiment conducted at the China Ship Scientific Research Center. It shows that the DDES results are more accurate. Wave profiles and vorticity field at several cross sections are presented to illustrate the relationship between bow waves and vortices. It is found that the free surface vorticity dissipates quickly in the URANS simulation, which leads to the difference compared with the DDES results.
