What is the bulge below the waterline of an ocean liner called and what is its use?
From the "Bulbous Bow" entry in Wikipedia:A bulbous bow, a feature of many modern ship hulls, is a protruding bulb at the bow (or front) below the waterline. Usually visible only when a ship is in drydock, the bulb modifies how water flows around the hull, reducing drag and increasing in speed, range, and fuel efficiency. Ships with bulbous bows generally have 12 to 15 percent better fuel efficiency than similar vessels without them. Bulbous bows achieve maximum effect at a narrow range of speeds over 6 knots (Bray, website). At other speeds, they can increase drag. They have the greatest effect on large ships such as freighters, navy vessels and various passenger ships. They are rarer on recreational boats designed for wide speed ranges and planing over the water.
What is big round part of bow on ship?
The big round part of a bow on a ship is called the "bulbous bow." It extends outward from the hull below the waterline and is designed to improve the ship's hydrodynamics. By reducing wave resistance and improving fuel efficiency, the bulbous bow enhances the vessel's overall performance, especially at higher speeds.

What is the lump on the bow of a ship that cuts through the water first?
This is what's called a bulbous bow and it's designed to reduce drag and increases stability, fuel efficiency, range, and speed.
What are some innovative ship bow designs that are currently being used in the maritime industry?
Some innovative ship bow designs currently used in the maritime industry include bulbous bows, wave-piercing bows, and X-bows. These designs help improve fuel efficiency, stability, and seakeeping abilities of ships.

What is the purpose of the long protrusion of the bow on a cruis ship for?
The long protrusion at the bow of a cruise ship, often referred to as the "bulbous bow," serves multiple purposes. Primarily, it helps reduce water resistance, improving the ship's fuel efficiency and speed by creating a more streamlined flow of water around the hull. Additionally, it enhances stability and reduces wave impact, resulting in a smoother ride for passengers.
