[0002] With the acceleration of globalization, shipping has become a core pillar of international trade. Over 90% of global commercial transport flows take place by sea, making its position in cargo transportation irreplaceable. However, the rapid development of the shipping industry has also been accompanied by significant environmental challenges.
[0003] According to data from the International Maritime Organization (IMO), in 2018, the shipping industry accounted for approximately 2.9% of global carbon dioxide emissions, while sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides accounted for 11% and 15%, respectively. Excessive carbon dioxide emissions not only exacerbate global warming but also lead to more frequent extreme weather events and rising sea levels, threatening the balance of ecosystems. Sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides, on the other hand, cause acid rain and air pollution, posing a serious threat to soil, vegetation, and human health. Therefore, reducing ship resistance and thereby achieving energy conservation and emission reduction in shipping has become a key issue in the development of green transportation. Existing technologies typically achieve energy conservation and emission reduction in shipping through fuel substitution and exhaust gas aftertreatment, but these approaches cannot fundamentally reduce shipping's energy consumption.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein the accompanying drawings constitute a part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0018] The terms "first," "second," and so on, used in the embodiments of the present invention are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, technical features designated as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature.
[0019] References herein to "embodiments" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute a separate or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.
[0020] A specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 As shown, a drag reduction prediction model design method based on longitudinal heterogeneous ship formation is disclosed, including: S101, setting numerical simulation parameters of the longitudinal heterogeneous ship formation in a preset simulation software.
[0021] In the embodiment of the present invention, a longitudinal heterogeneous ship formation model is constructed using SolidWorks. Taking three ships as an example, the first two are KCS ships and the rear one is a SERIES60 ship. Figure 2 In a formation, the first ship is the lead ship (ld), and the remaining ships are followers (fw1, fw2, ...). The KCS length is denoted as Lk, the SERIES60 length is denoted as Ls, and the formation spacing is denoted as D.
[0022] In the embodiment of the present invention, the commercial CFD software STAR-CCM+ is used for numerical simulation calculations. Due to the geometric symmetry of the hull shape, numerical simulation is only performed on half of the ship. In the calculation domain of the towing test pool, the center of gravity of the ship is set as the origin. In the X-axis direction, the distance from the velocity inlet is 18m, and the distance from the pressure outlet is -18m; in the Y-axis direction, the distance from the ship to the test pool boundary is 18m; in the Z-axis direction, the distance from the bottom of the test pool is -18m, and the distance from the top is 9m. The hydrostatic pressure corresponds to the calm water surface at the downstream boundary of the test pool. In STAR-CCM+, a mesh is created for the ship and the test pool based on the automatic mesh, such as Figure 3 As shown. Surface reconstruction, automatic surface repair, cut volume mesh generator and prism layer mesh generator were used. The target surface size was set to 50%, the number of prism layers was set to 6, and the volume growth rate was slow. In order to capture Kelvin waves and ensure a sharp transition between the two fluids, the water surface was densified. In STAR-CCM+, the resistance can be decomposed into shear resistance and pressure resistance. In order to further analyze the reasons for the reduction in formation sailing resistance, it is necessary to detect the impact of the bow flow field velocity on the ship in the formation. Therefore, 8 monitoring points arranged in a row were set in front of the ship, with each monitoring point spaced 0.5m apart. The flow field data of the ship's navigation was statistically analyzed, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, it is also necessary to consider the impact of the ship waves of the leading ship on the following ship. Therefore, 40 consecutive monitoring points are set behind the last ship in the formation, with an interval of 0.5m between each monitoring point, to count the changes in the ship waves of the formation.
[0023] To ensure the accuracy of the numerical calculation, a Froude number of 0.2599 was selected to perform a numerical simulation of the resistance of the KCS ship's self-propulsion. The numerical simulation results were compared with the experimental results provided at the 2010 Gothenburg seminar. The expression for the resistance coefficient is:
[0024] Where cd is the drag coefficient, the average total resistance Fd is 42.083 N, the water density ρ, the ship model speed v is 2.196 m / s, and the wetted surface area A of the ship model is 9.55275 m2.
[0025] The predicted resistance coefficient calculated using the above equation is 0.003654. The experimental resistance coefficient provided at the 2010 Gothenburg workshop is 0.003711, a deviation of 1.53%. Increasing the mesh accuracy will reduce the deviation in the predicted resistance. Note that the simulation only models half of the ship; to match the experimental data, the resistance coefficient needs to be multiplied by two.
[0026] S102, using a control variable method to design numerical simulation scenarios for different formation configurations, and determining the ship resistance coefficient of the longitudinal heterogeneous ship formation under each formation configuration, wherein the formation configuration includes the number, speed, spacing, and ship type of the formation ships.
[0027] In the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown in the figure, KCS ship formation models with different numbers are constructed. Under the conditions of formation spacing of 1 times the ship length and sailing speed of 2.12m / s, the situations of single ship, 2-ship formation, 3-ship formation and 4-ship formation are simulated respectively. The changes of bow flow field velocity and ship wave are statistically analyzed through monitoring points, and their influence on the formation resistance characteristics is analyzed. Figure 6 The comparison of total resistance for KCS formations with different numbers of ships, at a formation spacing of 1 ship length and a sailing speed of 2.12 m / s, shows that the total resistance of the lead ship in the formation is similar to that of a single ship, while the total resistance of the following ships is lower than that of the lead ship. Therefore, the total resistance of the formation is lower than that of a single ship with the same number of ships.
[0028] In this embodiment of the present invention, a single ship and a three-ship formation are constructed under the same KCS ship type and a formation spacing of 1 times the ship length. The simulation is performed at sailing speeds of 1.275m / s, 2.12m / s, and 2.975m / s, respectively. A single ship is represented by "SG", and the three speeds are marked as low speed (LS), medium speed (MS), and high speed (HS). Figure 7 (a) shows the bow flow velocity of a single ship and a three-ship formation. Figure 7 (c) shows the corresponding shear resistance of the ships. As the formation sailing speed increases, the speed difference between the bow flow field of the lead ship and the following ship gradually increases, and the shear resistance changes in a similar trend. Figure 7 (d) shows the pressure resistance of a single ship and a three-ship formation. At high speeds, the increase in pressure resistance is significantly greater than the shear resistance, and the pressure resistance of the two following ships decreases significantly. Figure 7 The ship waves of the ship formation in (b) show that the ship waves have larger wave heights and longer wavelengths at high speeds, and carry more energy. Combined with the significantly decreased pressure resistance of the two following ships, this shows that high-energy ship waves can reduce the pressure resistance.
[0029] In this embodiment of the present invention, a three-ship formation was constructed under the same KCS ship type and a sailing speed of 2.12 m / s. Simulations were conducted with formation spacings of 0.5, 1, and 1.5 ship lengths, respectively. Formation spacing was categorized as close spacing (ND), medium spacing (MD), and far spacing (FD). Compared to the formation speed condition, the effect of formation spacing on drag reduction was more limited. In particular, as the formation spacing increased from medium to far spacing, the total resistance of each ship in the formation remained virtually unchanged. The proportions of shear resistance and pressure differential resistance were largely unaffected by changes in formation spacing, similar to the resistance distribution observed at a sailing speed of 2.12 m / s and a formation spacing of 1 ship length.
[0030] To verify that resistance can be reduced across different types of ships, this embodiment of the present invention constructed fleet models with varying numbers of SERIES60 ships. Simulations were conducted for single, two-ship, three-ship, and four-ship formations, with a formation spacing of 0.82 times the KCS ship length and a sailing speed of 2.12 m / s. The proportion of shear resistance in the SERIES60 fleet decreased from 62% to approximately 47%, with pressure differential resistance dominating. The resistance reduction rate also increased from 3% to approximately 10%. This change may be due to the smaller size of the SERIES60 ships (the SERIES60 weighs 485.6 kg, while the KCS ships weigh 823.0451 kg).
[0031] In the embodiment of the present invention, KCS ships and SERIES60 ships are used to construct a heterogeneous ship formation model, such as Figure 8 As shown in the figure, six heterogeneous ship formation models were constructed, including KCS-SERIES60-KCS (KSK), KCS-SERIES60-SERIES60 (KSS), KCS-KCS-SERIES60 (KKS), SERIES60-SERIES60-KCS (SSK), SERIES60-KCS-SERIES60 (SKS), and SERIES60-KCS-KCS (SKK). Simulations were conducted at a speed of 2.12 m / s and a formation spacing of 0.82 times the KCS ship length to analyze the effect of ship type on resistance characteristics. The results show that when a SERIES60 ship (small ship) follows a KCS ship (large ship), its bow flow velocity is lower, resulting in a corresponding reduction in shear resistance. High-energy ship waves help reduce pressure differential resistance, but the reduction is relatively limited. This explains why placing small ships behind large ships in a formation effectively reduces overall resistance. When there are more large ships in the formation, placing small ships in the middle can further reduce the formation's total resistance.
[0032] S103, based on the ship resistance coefficient of longitudinal heterogeneous ship formations under different formation configurations, analyze the effects of bow flow field velocity and ship waves on shear resistance and pressure difference resistance.
[0033] In an embodiment of the present invention, through the post-processing of STAR-CCM+, the shear resistance, pressure difference resistance, total resistance, bow flow field velocity and ship wave height data of the formation ships during the simulation process are output, and the following data processing is performed based on pycharm: the average value of the monitoring points is calculated and displayed in the form of a bar graph, the wave height, wavelength and period of the ship wave are statistically analyzed, the monitoring point data are displayed in a line graph, and the curve is smoothed by interpolation processing.
[0034] S104, predicting the formation resistance of the group of ships to be formed based on the action rule using a hybrid graph neural network prediction model, wherein the hybrid graph neural network prediction model includes a collaborative architecture of GATv2 dynamic attention mechanism and GINE geometric feature encoding.
[0035] In the embodiment of the present invention, a data-driven method is used to systematically study the coupled effects of ship type, spacing and speed on resistance characteristics in a ship formation, and a hybrid GNN prediction model is constructed. Given the high cost of acquiring STAR-CCM+ simulation data and the dynamic changes in the size of the formation, the use of a graph neural network architecture has two advantages: first, the graph structure of GNN naturally adapts to the modeling requirements of a variable number of ship nodes; second, its message passing mechanism can effectively capture the fluid interactions between ships. Figure 9 As shown, the model uses a three-way parallel architecture to achieve multi-level feature extraction: GATv2 layer: identifies key ship features through a dynamic attention mechanism and provides weighted neighbor information for subsequent aggregation; PNA layer: As the core of the architecture, it stably handles formations of different sizes through a multi-scale aggregator and integrates the attention weights of GATv2 and the geometric features of GINE; GINE layer: A message passing mechanism based on edge features that accurately encodes the fluid interference effects of the relative positions between ships.
[0036] In this embodiment of the present invention, three data enhancement measures were implemented to address the challenge of scarce CFD simulation data: first, the complexity of individual samples was reduced by decoupling flow field features; second, supplementary data was generated using a physically constrained interpolation algorithm; and finally, a dataset containing approximately 100,000 samples was constructed (training set:test set = 5:1). Regarding feature engineering, formation spacing was dimensionless (L / L_KCS∈[0.5,1.5]) based on the KCS length, while speed was retained at its original value (v∈[1.275,2.975] m / s) to mitigate bias introduced by inconsistent Froude numbers for heterogeneous ship types.
[0037] In the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 10As shown in the figure, the model training process exhibits three significant stages: rapid convergence period (0-15 Epochs): the loss function decreases by 86%, completing basic feature extraction; fine tuning period (15-60 Epochs): local optimal search is achieved through parameter oscillation; stable convergence period (>60 Epochs): the final training loss is 0.00148, the test loss is 0.0149, and the fluctuation range is <1.5%.
[0038] In the embodiment of the present invention, the prediction accuracy of different formation sizes is quantitatively analyzed by heat map ( Figure 11 ), and found that: the prediction error of the 2-ship formation is the lowest (the heat map has the lightest tone), which is due to the completeness of the training data; the error of the 4-ship formation is relatively high (the tone is the darkest), reflecting the modeling challenges in data-sparse areas; the accuracy distribution is strongly correlated with the training sample density.
[0039] In the embodiments of the present invention, comparative experiments, as shown in Table 1, confirm that the hybrid GNN significantly outperforms the baseline model in two key metrics: prediction accuracy: MSE is reduced by 13.6% (vs. GAT) and 21.3% (vs. random forest); generalization capability: R² is increased to as high as 0.92, and it supports formation prediction of any size. While random forests have computational efficiency advantages, their fixed input dimension makes them unsuitable for application scenarios with varying formation sizes.
