Bulbous bows improve most of the properties of ships, but the correct design and power prediction are stili difficult due to the lack of design data. Three main hull parameters are taken into account: block coefficient, length / beam rauo, and beam / draft ratio. Six bulb quantities are selected and reduced 10 bulb parameters, a! which the volume, the section area at the fare perpendicular, and the protruding length of the bulb are the most important.
