Friction drag accounts for 80 % of the total drag for large ships, and hence microbubble drag reduction is expected as one of the most feasible ways to reduce it because of less environmental impact. The demonstration experiment using 127m-ship is carried out and its turbulent boundary layer is measured by UVP for the first time. This report mainly describes the measurement method of seawater velocity profiles beneath the ship and some typical results on the influences of bubbles on their statistic values.
