In general, ship hull forms are so complicated that the flow visualization has not been easy. The authors complete a ship model with transparent hull in order to study on new experiments of flow visualization around hulls and propellers, Using the transparent ship model, not only flow visualizations can be made from inside of the model but also the lighting from inside is possible. Especially, direct measurements of the cross flow angle will be widely applied by means of the observation of tracer's flowlines from inside of model.
In this paper, a transparent ship model and some applications are introduced as follows.
1) Observation of streamline by tracer method.
2) Observation of the distribution of cross flow angle by use of the H2 bubble method.
