... that can be adjusted to reduce the roll motion include only the bilge radius and the height of bilge keel. In the present paper, a parametric study has been made considering various combinations of bilge radius and bilge keel height. The three prediction methods constantly show that the roll damping...

... be encountered during a fabrication stage are discussed. Two issues are examined; bilge keel and headbox. The transit performance is assessed using model testing and CFD simulation. The conventional barge-type hull without headbox leads to much lower resistance. However, when large headboxes are added...

... Abstract A round bilge with a bilge keel structure is a key element which can alleviate roll motions of ships and floating structures by transferring the roll momentum of a floating body into the kinetic energy of water. This study presents a practical guide to properly designing a bilge radius...
