Analysis of Leading Edge Protuberances on Fully Submerged Hydrofoil of 15 m Pilot Boat
Abstract Resistance greatly affects on selection of the main engine and ship fuel consumption. To achieve the speed of the ship, the ship must be prepared to overcome resistance in the waters to be passed by choosing the right engine according to the needs of the ship.

| Summary: | Abstract Resistance greatly affects on selection of the main engine and ship fuel consumption. To achieve the speed of the ship, the ship must be prepared to overcome resistance in the waters to be passed by choosing the right engine according to the needs of the ship. In the last few years there have been many studies on biomimetics or the use of systems in nature to be applied in a technology. Such as the use of Leading edge protuberances. Despite its large size and stiff flexibility, the humpback whale has a good maneuver even when chasing prey compared to other animals of its size. This study aims to obtain the highest lift force result and the smallest resistance with a hydrofoil model configuration of leading edge protuberances which resembles a humpback whale fin (megaptra novaengliae). The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is applied to analyse lift faorce and ship resistance of all models variation. The results indicates that from all variation of models at the Fn 1.356, the model has 5 ° angle of attack were able to reduce the total resistance value of Pilot Boat by 35.13%. |
