Installation of hydrofoils to ship wetted surface enables bubble generation to be realized with power consumption much lower than conventional bubble generators. With help of this principle, net effect of frictional drag reduction for ships can be improved. We have already obtained around 10% net power-saving efficiency for a cargo ferry throughout about a half year. The power-saving has a large potential to be improved more by considering multiphase fluid dynamics in terms of the hydrofoil-water-air triple interaction. In this paper, the basic principle of the bubble generation and the trial parametric studies implemented by numerical and experimental visualizations are reported.
