In the past few years, news reports and on the Internet can be more often seen video and photos dedicated to ships of unusual design. Most often in the public eye caught the military sample vessels with inverted nose. In fact, these ships are increasing, and they are used in various fields. Why then is obliged to the emergence of a new trend in the shipbuilding industry?
What is innovative design
Ships with an inverted nose look funny, but such a design is chosen nowadays shipbuilders is not for aesthetic reasons. It is obvious that when the ship moves in the water, the environment resists its movement. It concerns not only the fluid friction on the board, but also the bow wave created by the boat. This striking formation also "hinders" the movement of the ship and its overcoming the machine has to spend valuable energy. As the ship slows down and the sea state, any other wave all also need to be overcome with effort and a waste of energy.
It is with these "problems" and allows you to handle inverted bow. Through this structure, the resistance of the vessel decreases. Useful is the fact that you have to spend a lot less energy, and therefore - fuel. The difference lies in the fact that ships with the usual nose first rise and then "fall" on the wave. Vessels with inverted structure immediately "cut one" in water.
In this dignity the new design does not end there. It should also be noted that such a ship is less shakes. Reduced load and pitching. Finally, corny growing speed at comparable costs for the movement of energy.
The effectiveness of an inverted nose technology has been proven empirically in 2007. From that moment on ships of similar design is only getting bigger. Thanks to the real economic benefits and increased comfort such noses primarily find application in passenger shipbuilding.
Who was the first
Of course, the inverse is the ship's nose was not invented by man in the XXI century. On the technology is not only known for a long time, but also for a long time and enjoyed it. One hundred years ago in the Russian Empire had a military inverted bow armadillos. However, they have been created with an eye on similar ships of the French Navy. Vessels with upturned nose for the Navy and built in the United States. However, later on the technology forgotten for many decades.
It is interesting and that the court with an inverted nose, were in the early medieval period. This is evidenced by the excavations of the last two decades in Norway. There were found vessels with upturned nose, which was used during the Vikings. Also, it is quite possible that they should say thank you.
I would like to know more interesting facts about the ships? How about to read about that is a new Indian carrier, and by whom it was built in our time.
