Abstract

Kapal tanker sebagai moda transportasi laut membutuhkan efisiensi propulsi yang optimal untuk menekan konsumsi bahan bakar dan emisi karbon. Salah satu solusi penghematan energi yang dapat diterapkan pada sistem propulsi kapal adalah pemasangan Energy Saving Device berupa Propeller Boss Cap Fins (PBCF) pada boss propeller, yang berfungsi mendisipasi hub vortex sehingga dapat meningkatkan efisiensi propeller. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui desain PBCF yang dapat diaplikasikan pada propeller kapal tanker serta mengetahui pengaruhnya terhadap efisiensi propulsi kapal. Metode yang digunakan adalah simulasi numerik berbasis Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), meliputi resistance test, open water test (OWT), dan self propulsion test, dengan membandingkan performa propeller sebelum dan sesudah pemasangan PBCF pada dua variasi profil foil, yaitu NACA 16006 dan NACA 4412. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa desain PBCF berpengaruh signifikan terhadap performa propeller, di mana profil foil NACA 16006 yang lebih tipis dan memiliki karakteristik drag lebih rendah terbukti lebih efektif dalam mendisipasi hub vortex dibandingkan NACA 4412. Pemasangan PBCF dengan foil NACA 16006 mampu meningkatkan efisiensi propeller hingga 4%, sehingga efisiensi propulsi kapal tanker secara keseluruhan meningkat sebesar 2,48% dibandingkan dengan kondisi propeller tanpa PBCF.

As a mode of maritime transportation, tankers require optimal propulsion efficiency to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions. One energy-saving solution that can be applied to a ship’s propulsion system is the installation of an Energy Saving Device in the form of Propeller Boss Cap Fins (PBCF) on the propeller boss, which serves to dissipate hub vortices and thereby improve propeller efficiency. This study aims to determine a PBCF design suitable for tanker ship propellers and to assess its impact on the ship’s propulsion efficiency. The method used was a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)-based numerical simulation, including resistance tests, open water tests (OWT), and self propulsion tests, comparing propeller performance before and after PBCF installation for two different airfoil profiles: NACA 16006 and NACA 4412. The results of the study indicate that the PBCF design has a significant effect on propeller performance, with the thinner NACA 16006 foil profile—which has lower drag characteristics—proving more effective at dissipating hub vortices compared to the NACA 4412 profile. Installing the PBCF with the NACA 16006 foil increased propeller efficiency by up to 4%, thereby improving the overall propulsion efficiency of the tanker by 2.48% compared to the propeller without the PBCF.
