A marine propeller is designed for preventing cavitation priority. Cavitation is a phenomenon which is defined as the vibration or noise by dropping the pressure on the high-speed rotation of the propeller. There has to be a enough thrust on the low-speed rotation for preventing cavitation. Thus, it has to be considered in the increasing of the number of blade and the angle of wing to design the propeller. In addition, flow resistance will be increasing by narrowing the width between blades. So high quality surface roughness of the hub to minimize flow resistance is required. Interference problems with tool and neighboring surfaces often take place from this kind of characteristics of the propeller. During 5-Axis machining of these propellers, the excessive local interference avoidance, necessary to avoid interference, leads to inconsistency of cutter posture, low quality of machined surface. Therefore, in order to increase the surface quality, it is necessary to minimize the cutter posture changes and create a continuous tool path while avoiding interference. This study, by using a MC-space algorithm for interference avoidance and a MB-spline algorithm for continuous control, is intended to create a 5-Axis machining tool path with excellent surface quality. Also, an effectiveness is confirmed through a verification manufacturing.

The statistical analysis system is necessary to predict the resistance and powering performance quickly and precisely at the initial design stage. The authors propose the several functions of the performance prediction program and the structures of data bank. The program includes several series charts, regression coefficients and adapted regression analysis method based on the data bank to predict the resistance and propulsive coefficients. The calculation procedure to find out the principal dimensions and open-water efficiency of the optimum propeller is also included. The evaluation for the program and data bank is conducted by the arbitrarily selected 14 ship models. The results show good agreement with experiments within 5% mean prediction error.

Some practical methods have already been proposed for predicting the characteristics of ship manoeuvring motions at relatively high advance speed. However, these methods can hardly be applied to motions of ships in starting, stoppint, backing and slow steaming conditions, even though such extensive motions are of vital importance from a safety point of view particularly in harbour areas. The method presented here aims at predicting the characteristics of ship manoeuvring at low advance speed, which covers starting, stopping, backing and slow steaming conditions. The force mathematical models at large angles of incidence to the hull as well as under the tilde range of propeller operations are formulated. Simulations of various manoeuvres at low advance speed are carried out for two types of merchant ship, i.e. a LNGC and a VLCC. Comparisons between simulations and corresponding full-scale measurements or free-running model tests provide a first verification of the proposed mathematical models.

선박 거주구는 승무원 및 여객들이 상주하는 곳으로서 대형 상선의 경우 주선체 상부에 건물형태의 높은 구조이므로, 선박의 불균형력과 프로펠러 기진력으로 인해 주 선체와 연성되어 진동이 발생한다. 대형상선의 거주구는 육상구조물과는 달리 주선체와 마찬가지로 강성은 일정하나 화물적재량의 변화에 따라 선박 거주구의 유효질량이 변화함으로 가변적인 진동특성을 갖는 구조물 중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 가변 동특성을 갖는 대형상선의 거주구 진동을 수동형 및 능동형 흡진장치를 통하여 제어할 경우 거주구의 고유진동수 변화에 따른 제어성능의 변화를 반영할 수 있으면서도 제어성능과 안정성이 뛰어난 강건제어 시스템의 설계 가능성을 수치 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인하고자 하였다. 적용대상은 진동문제가 많이 발생하는 컨테이너 운반선과 초대형 원유운반선의 거주구 진동특성을 3차원 유한 요소법을 이용하여 검토하고, 실험적인 방법으로는 거주구 형태의 구조물의 질량변화에 대한 동조형 흡진기의 제어성능을 시험과 선형이차 진동제어 장치의 진동제어성능 실험결과를 소개하고자 한다.

Cavitation refers to a phenomenon in which empty spaces occur in a fluid due to changes in pressure and a velocity. When a liquid moves at a high speed, the pressure drops below the vapor pressure, and vapor bubbles are generated in the liquid. This study used CFD to analyze the flow of fluid machinery used in marine and offshore plants. The goals are to ensure the validity of the analysis method for marine propellers in an open water test, to increase the forward ratio, and to use FLUENT to understand the flow pattern due to cavitation. A three-dimensional analysis was performed and compared with experimental data from MOERI. The efficiency was highest at advance ratios of 0.7 - 0.8. Thrust was generated due to the difference between the pressure surface and the suction surface, and it was estimated that bubbles would be generated in the vicinity of the back side surface rather than the face side of the propeller, resulting in more cavitation. The cavitation decreased sharply as the advance ratio increased. The thrust and torque coefficients were comparable to those of the MOERI experimental data except at the advance ratio of 1, which showed a difference of less than 5%. Therefore, it was confirmed that CFD can evaluate an open water propeller test.

In order to develop test and performance analysis techniques for a CRP propulsion, a CRP dynamometer which can be installed inside the model ship was designed and manufactured. The object ship was the 16000TEU container carrier, which has test results for the single propeller. The design concept of the present CRP is that forward & after propellers have the same power ratio and their RPM ratio is 0.75:1. To begin with, we checked the performance of the CRP dynamometer through the calibration and then installed it inside the model ship. After the model ship setup including the design CRP and the rudder in the Large Cavitation Tunnel(LCT), a series of model tests composed of power ratio check, propeller behind wake(PBW) test, cavitation observation and pressure fluctuation tests was conducted. Through the model test and data analysis for CRP, the experimental technique was established and the improved method for CRP design was suggested.

Recently, an interest in the uncertainty analysis on measurement and prediction has been growing. An uncertainty analysis method is applied to the P.O.W test where error sources, estimated errors, their propagation route and their sensitivities to the uncertainty items are clearly illustrated. The uncertainty range for the results obtained from the HMRI Propeller Open Water test is within ${\pm}1%$ which is assumed to be lower than an usual measurement error range of ${\pm}1%$. It has been noticed that the uncertainty analysis can be used quite usefully for detecting dominant error-sources and hence improving the experimental measurement accuracy.

In this paper, we perform a study on the directionality of broadband ship radiation noise, mainly resulting from propeller cavitation. By examining a few foreign studies for ship radiation noise and domestic data measured in Korean waters, it is reconfirmed that the asymmetric directionality of the ship radiation noise at bow and stern aspect is observed commonly. In order to explore the reason of this asymmetric directionality, a numerical analysis, based on the acoustic boundary element method, is applied into the geometric form equal to the commercial ship used in the domestic experiment. The numerical result demonstrates that the diffraction of the propeller cavitation noise by ship is a primary cause of the bow-stern asymmetry in the directionality of ship radiation noise.

최근의 선박 추진시스템은 기존의 엔진, 터빈 등의 구동 원에서 선박의 발전기로부터 선체 외부의 프로펠러와 일체형으로 구성된 모터를 구동하여 추진하는 전기추진식으로 변화되고 있다. 특히, 히토류계 영구자석재질의 발달로 인하여 대형 선박의 추진을 위한 대용량 자석계자형 BLDC와 영구자석형 동기전동기의 설계가 가능해 졌으며, 이에 대한 연구구도 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 이도 중 소형 선박기기에 한정되어 있으며, MW급 이상의 대형기기의 설계 연구도 일부 선진국에서만 진행 되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 5MW, 150rpm급 대용량 추진전동기 설계에 관한 연구를 하였다. 본 설계 모델은 오랜 기간 해양 운행을 해야 하는 선박특성 상 중요한 부분인 에너지 효율을 높이기 위하여 인버터를 전동기 내부에 배치한 구조로 부피와 중량을 줄이고, 더불어 속도에 따라 인버터를 커플링하여 상변환이 가능한 전동기를 설계하였다.

Velocity field behind a container ship model with a rotating propeller has been investigated using PIV (particle image velocimetry) system. Four hundred instantaneous velocity fields were measured at 4 different blade phases and ensemble-averaged to investigate the spatial evolution of vortical structure of near wake within one propeller diameter downstream. The phase-averaged mean velocity fields show the potential wake and the viscous wake formed due to the boundary layers developed on the blade surfaces. The interaction between bilge vortex developed along the hull surface and the tangential velocity component of incoming flow causes to have asymmetric flow structure in the transverse plane.
