Hereinafter, such a hull may be referred to as a "Ramform" hull. Such a hull, in comparison to conventional hull designs makes it possible to improve a vessel's deadweight tonnage transverse stability, navigational and sailing properties and to reduce stress on the hull beam whether the vessel is sailing in quiet water or into the waves. ;As explained in the Ramde patent, at given main dimensions of length, breadth and depth to the design waterline, conventional hull configurations can obtain greater deadweight tonnage by increasing the fullness of the underwater portion of the hull, thereby increasing the total displacement. To improve the transverse stability of a conventionally formed hull, expressed as a higher initial metacentre, the breadth of the hull can be increased to obtain a greater moment of inertia at the waterline, optionally also raising the volumetric centre of gravity of the underwater hull. ;However, changes of this nature (increasing displacement and beam), as demanded for transverse stability and speed increase, will eventually result in an unacceptable increase in a conventional vessel's resistance to propulsion in quiet waters as well as in heavy waves. ;To improve the seagoing properties of a conventional huii configuration, expressed as the vessel's angular movements about a transverse axis (pitching), ;314 87 ;41 ;- 3 - ;vertical movements (heave), accelerations and the amount of increase in propulsion resistance compared to the resistance in quiet seas, one seeks to alter the vessel's natural frequency of pitching and heaving so that this frequency, insofar as possible, does not coincide with the frequency of the wave lengths which the vessel encounters. ;In the case of conventional hull designs, structural alterations result in only slight improvements in the seagoing properties of the vessel, and extreme pitching and heaving movements and a great increase in the resistance to propulsion will occur when the ship is sailing into the waves when the prevailing wave length is approximately equal to the ship's length at the waterline. ;Depending on the type of vessel and its rate of speed, such synchronous movements always make it necessary for a conventional ship to reduce speed or alter course in relation to the waves, thereby altering the cycles of encounter with the waves so that the wave period does not coincide with the natural frequency of the vessel's pitching and heaving. ;The earlier Ramde patent taught the use of certain relationships which have been found to be non-optimal. Also, other differences have been found that make substantial improvements in the performance of ships designed according to the earlier Ramde patent, as well as curing problems found in the use of such ships. ;In our present patent specification no. 270953 there is described and claimed a ship of a displacement type with a Ramform type hull, a transom stern, ;314874 ;-4- ;a longitudinal length of L, and defining a base plane and a design waterline plane (dwl), the ship comprising: ;approximately sinusoidal waterlines; and a surface extending from the transom stern at the design waterline plane (dwl) to the base plane at about L/2 and defining an angle between: the base plane and an oblique plane, said oblique plane being defined by: ;a line at the intersection of the transom stern and the design waterline plane (dwl) and a point located on said surface at about 0.2L from the transom stern wherein, said angle is between 12.5° and 14.0°. ;SUMMARY OF INVENTION ;The seagoing properties of the hull configuration of the embodiments of the invention are improved, such that the hull's pitching and heaving movements are reduced, compared to the movements of conventional hulls travelling at the same rate of speed, as well as the previous Ramform hulls, and these movements are also retarded such that the improved hull does not exhibit correspondingly large movements until the wave length/hull length ratio is more than twice as large, while at xhe same time the improved hull's resistance to propulsion is reduced to a similar degree. Also, embodiments of the present invention provide for very smooth, substantially homogeneous, two-dimensional flow of water under the hull and past the stern, resulting in very low turbulence, and very quiet running.

Further according to this embodiment, is about 3 or greater, but the specific resistance to propulsion compared to conventional hull configurations is not increased. At the same time, the present embodiment provides that the hull beam B is such that the L/B ratio is between about 1 and about 2, preferably between about 1.4 and 1.9. The preferred ratio has been found to be about 1.8. According to this embodiment, B is the maximum beam of the hull at the design waterline (dwl). According to this embodiment, the height of the metacentre of the hull 10 is more than doubled in relation to conventional hull configurations of the same length. ;According to a further embodiment of the invention, the displacement distribution in the longitudinal direction approximates a Rayleigh wave. Such a wave is accomplished in the present embodiment with substantially squarely cut off, approximately harmonic sinusoidal waterlines (Figure 2: dwl, 1, 2, 3) with extremity or stationary points 12 and 14 at the ends of the hull fore and aft, while at the same time the base lines of the waterlines (Odw|, 0-|, ®2» ®3) frorT1 the design waterline (dwl) and at increasing depths from this gradually are displaced in the direction of forward propulsion, shortened so far that an approximately oblique surface (s), which may be straight, is defined. Further, in accordance with this embodiment, surface (s) which comprises the stern half of the hull 10 and permits utilisation of various propulsion systems. ;One such propulsion system is disclosed in the Ramde European * 767 patent, wherein the propeller (f) is shown substantially parallel to the approximately oblique surface (s). Such a design was believed to afford advantages with that particular non-conventional hull, to take advantage of 314 87 water flow parallel to the surface (s). However, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the axis of the propeller is mounted to be substantially parallel to the baseline of the ship, as seen in Figure 4.
Referring now to Figures 2 and 3, according to a further embodiment of present invention, a ratio B1/t1 is defined at a transverse section through the hull 10 below the design waterline (dwl) at a distance of about 0.15 Lfrom the stem, wherein (B1) is the beam at the design waterline (dwl) and (t 1) is the depth of the hull (measured from the same waterline). According to this embodiment, the ratio B1/t1 is about 15. According to an alternative embodiment, the ratio B1/t1 is greater than the corresponding ratio for a section at L/2 where the beam (B2) and depth (t2) are measured in the same way.
According to a further embbdiment of the invention a further hull ratio e = Cp/Cc|w| is defined, wherein Cp is the hull's longitudinal prismatic coefficient, expressed from the following equation: Cp = V/(AL/2xL), and wherein C^w^A^i/LB, wherein L is the design waterline, A is the area of a transverse section up to the waterline at L/2, V is the displacement volume to the design waterline, A,jw| is the waterline area, and B is the maximum beam at the waterline. According to this embodiment, the hull parameter e is about 1 or greater.
Referring again to Figure 1 according to a further embodiment of the invention, the design waterline's areal centre of gravity (LCF) is located around 0.2 L aft of midship, and the improved hull's volumetric centre of gravity 314874 (buoyancy) (LCB) at the depth of the design waterline (dwl) around 0.075 L forward of areal centre of gravity, which may be expressed as LCF - LCB = 0.075 L.
Referring now to Figure 5, according to a further embodiment, hull 10 is configured in the region from the stern poet and forward to about 0.3 L to be provided with turbulence-controlling appendages (for example, fixed or flexible fin-like means (v)) in the streamline direction mounted approximately perpendicular relative to the hull 10 and located approximately at the transition between the bottom and ^ides of the hull. According to another example, the turbulence-controlling appendages are longitudinal grooves in the form of pointed, rectangular or wave-like grooves (x) which decrease in depth in the direction of forward propulsion, and which, at about 0.3 L from aft, terminate in and coincide with the even portion of the oblique surface (s) and whose depth (d) will usually be about 0.02 B.
Referring again to Figure 1, the hull 10 is shown with the approximately harmonic sinusoidal waterlines around the design waterline (dwl) with extremity points around the hull's bow and stern ends, wherein the areal centre of gravity (LCF) is about 0.2 L aft of L/2 and where the length/breadth ratio L/B of the design waterline is about 2.
Figure 2 shows the an embodiment of the invention's hull below the design waterline (dwl) in vertical section, where it is seen that the base lines are substantially squarely cut off. Further in accordance with this embodiment, there are approximately harmonic sinusoidal waterlines (O^], O-j, O2, O3) along a 314 8 7 4 sloped generally planar surface (s), which are displaced in the direction of forward propulsion of the vessel, and which coincide with the base plane (g) at about L/2. Further, the distance between the areal centre of gravity (LCF) and the buoyancy centre of gravity (LCB) of the hull 10 at the depth of the design waterline (dwl) is about 0.075L. The generally planar surface (s) in some embodiments takes the form of a curved surface with a very large radius, (for example between about 3 and about 5 times the maximum beam, and in a specific embodiment, about 4).
In Figure 3, the hull configuration of Figure 2 is shown in horizontal projection with the waterlines dwl, 1, 2, 3 and g in the examples with a U-frame at the bow end of the hull. According to alternative embodiments of the invention, other known frame forms are used. The embodiment of Figure 3 also has a ratio between beam and depth for a section around 0.15L from the stern and at L/2, where the respective beams and depths are designated B-| and B2 and t-j and t2< According to still a further embodiment of the invention, there is provided a bulge 100, as seen in Figure 6, running from the stern to the bow. According to such embodiment the bulge 100 has a maximum normal distance (d6) from the longitudinal centre line which is larger by between about 0.03 and about 0.04 of the maximum beam than the distance (d62) between the centreline and the hull at the design waterline (dwl) at L/2.
Referring now to Figure 7, according to still a further embodiment of the invention, there is provided stabilising fins 200, having a generally teardrop 3 1 4 87 4 cross-section (Figure 7 A) and a control surfaco flap 202 as shown in Figure 7A. According to one such embodiment, the chord length of the stabilising fin (including the flap 202) is about 3% of L, and the control surface flap 202 has a chord length less than one percent of L. According to one embodiment, such fins 200 are placed as close to the stern corners as is practical. In one embodiment, shown in Figure 7, the trailing edge is in the plane of the transom 700. In an alternative embodiment (not shown) the leading edge of the fin 200 is in the plane of the transom. According to a specific embodiment, the fin 200 is about twice the chord length (including the control surface flap 202).
According to still a further embodiment, seen in Figures 8 and 8A, a bulb 80 is provided at the bow of the hull, substantially below the waterline dwl. According to this embodiment, bulb 80 has a width larger than its height at the transverse cross section midway between the forward perpendicular and a transverse section through the uppermost portion of the bulb. Such a bulb 80 further has a flattened upper surface 82 the foremost upper range 84 of which is raised up to about the waterline (dwl).
Referring now to Figure 9, an embodiment is shown in which bulb 80 is formed as an integral part of bulge 100 and a corresponding bulge (not shown) on the opposite side of the hull, which run from the bow to the edge of the transom 700. In this embodiment, the bulges terminating at about the stem area of the ship by merging into each other forming a tongue-like shape 80 with a flattened upper surface 82.
Further embodiments will occur to those of skill in the art, the above embodiments given by way of example, only.
