[0002] With the rapid development of the global shipping industry, the issue of ship energy consumption and emissions has become an increasingly important research topic. When ships navigate the water, they consume significant amounts of energy due to the viscosity and fluid resistance of the water. This not only increases operating costs but also leads to increased greenhouse gas emissions. Drag reduction technology, as an important means of improving ship fuel efficiency and reducing emissions, has received widespread attention in recent years. Bubble drag reduction technology is an advanced method that uses air to form a bubble layer on the bottom of a ship to reduce frictional resistance between the hull and the water. This technology releases tiny bubbles from the bottom of the ship to reduce the friction coefficient between the hull and the water, thereby effectively reducing drag, increasing speed, and reducing energy consumption.

[0003] Traditional ship bubble drag reduction technology suffers from low exhaust efficiency, making it difficult for bubbles to be evenly distributed across the hull bottom. This can easily lead to insufficient injection pressure for the air-water mixture, weakening the bubble drag reduction effect. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a drag reduction device with better drag reduction, convenient recovery and release, and greater applicability. To this end, a bubble-breaking nozzle for ship drag reduction is provided. Utility Model Content
