OK salty, in Zukunft setz ich im deutschen Teil nicht mehr die gleiche Frage rein

saltydog · « **Reply #1229 on:** April 11, 2008, 12:43:28 »

Don't worry MB, I won't be there much..

Besides, the Flipper I googled, the Falkirk was in "boat stuff"..

To answer your question: it is the Falkirk Wheel, it's a boat lift..
Quite an amazing thing..(see picture)

I'm pretty sure it's right, so here goes the next question:

What is a "bulbous bow"..? Post a picture with your answer..

Mad Bossy · « **Reply #1230 on:** April 11, 2008, 13:04:33 »

Thats easy,

Long waves are faster, so a ship that wants to go fast has to excite long waves and not short ones. In a conventionally shaped bow, a bow wave forms immediately before the bow. When a bulb is placed below the water ahead of this wave, water is forced to flow up over the bulb. If the trough formed by water flowing off of the bulb coincides with the bow wave, the two partially cancel out and reduce the vessel's wake. While inducing another wave stream saps energy from the ship, canceling out the second wave stream at the bow changes the pressure distribution along the hull, thereby reducing wave resistance. The effect that pressure distribution has on a surface is known as the form effect.
