This invention provides a ship drag reduction optimization method based on the EEXI standard, belonging to the field of ship energy efficiency optimization technology. The method involves arranging multiple independently driven adaptive suction drag reduction devices in an array on the ship's
hull. The impellers are driven by the
impact of the ship's navigating
water flow to generate rotational power, requiring no
external energy source. A centrifugal
governor automatically adjusts the
throttle valve opening according to the ship's speed, adaptively matching the
suction flow rate with the speed, maintaining optimal boundary layer suction intensity across the entire speed range, effectively
thinning the boundary layer and reducing
frictional resistance. The device adopts a purely mechanical structure, equipped with a friction-type overload
clutch, and features anti-clogging, anti-
marine organism attachment, and triple sealing functions. It is modularly installed for convenience, has a short retrofit cycle, low cost, and high reliability. This invention can significantly reduce ship fuel consumption and carbon emissions, achieving a
net energy saving rate of 10%–15%, effectively improving the EEXI compliance rate of older ships, and is suitable for energy-saving retrofits and new construction designs of various displacement-type ships.
