Figure 6.1: Pressure Contours Velocity Vectors at the Bow of theBallast­Free Bulk Carrier ModelFigure 6.2: Pressure Contours at the Stern of the Ballast­Free Bulk Carrier ModelThe stern region is governed by suction pressure, which has a peak near the bilge just aheadof the stern bulb. A significant positive pressure region exists above the stern bulb. Noseparation is observed in the velocity vector plot in Fig. 6.4. The location of the stern plenumwill be close to the aft end of the engine room (around x/L = 0.92) and above the inner bottom(2.4 m from the keel).16
