More Information
Summary:The invention relates to a system for providing an air lubricating layer between the hull of a vessel and the water flowing under the hull as said vessel is moving through the water, comprising an air cavity and a wave deflector having a planar bottom surface which faces said interface plane and extends parallel thereto and is arranged in an air cavity of said air lubrication system at a distance of 2 - 15 cm from the interface plane, wherein said bottom surface has a peripheral edge that is spaced apart from said sidewalls by a gap having a width of 0,5 - 15 cm, wherein, when viewed in projection onto a plane wherein said planar bottom surface extends, at least 85% of the area of said opening is covered by said wave deflector and/or said planar bottom surface thereof, more preferably at least 90%, and most preferably at least 95%.
