To ensure the safety for vessels anchored in stormy weather, duty officer and VTS operator have to frequently check whether their anchors are dragging. To judge dragging of the anchored vessel, it is important for VTS operator to recognize the turning circle and its center of the anchored vessel. The judgement for the anchored vessel dragging can be made by using Radar and AIS. If it is available, CCTV or eye-sighting can be used to know the center of turing circle. However, the VTS system collects individual ship's dynamic information from AIS and ARPA radar and monitors of the anchored vessels, it is difficult for VTS operator not only to get the detailed status information of the vessels, but also to know the center of turning circle. In this study, we propose an efficient algorithm to estimate the center of turning circle of anchored vessel by using the ship's heading and position data, which were from AIS. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, the experimental study was made for the anchored vessel under real environments.

The effect on collection efficiency with 2-stage vortex finder diameter and back mixing of solid flow due to swirling intensity, turbulence eddies, wall bouncing using the residence time distribution of particle flow in a common and modified cyclone. Higher collection efficiencies of fly ash in a modified cyclone(S = 13, 15cm) are showed than common cyclone. Collection efficiency in modified cyclone was highest at 2-stage vortex finder diameter, S = 13 cm. Variances of residence time distribution and average residence times of glass bead were increased with a diameter(S) of 2-stage vortex finder due to swirling intensity and turbulence eddies. Back mixing of solid flow in a modified cyclone were increased with a gas inlet velocity and showed higher than a common cyclone.

In low swirl combustors the flame is lifted above the nozzle to achieve balance between the flame speed and velocity field at the exit of the nozzle. Characterization of the flame liftoff height is important because it affects the stability of the combustor and degradation of the nozzle material. In experiments, a counter-intuitive trend of flame liftoff heights with respect to inlet velocities was observed. To elucidate the complicated flow field in a low swirl combustor having swirl vanes and a turbulence generator, a series of numerical simulations of non-reacting flows was conducted by varying the inlet velocity. The flow structures at the exit of the nozzle with respect to the inlet velocities are investigated to support the observation in the experiments.

Three-dimensional pipe flows with elbows, tees and headers in three different pipe systems are calculated to estimate the effect of asymmetry of axial velocity profile and swirl on measuring accuracy of an orifice flowmeter. It is evaluated how the pressure difference across the orifice is dependent on the upstream straight pipe length and how swirl intensity, swirl angle, and axial velocity distribution affect the measuring error of the orifice flowmeter. From the results, it is found that variation of the pressure difference across the orifice is negligible in case that maximum swirl angle is less than 2$^{\circ}$, and also that the pressure difference across the orifice is more sensitive to the asymmetry of axial velocity profile rather than the swirl intensity.

석탄가스화 복합발전 시스템은 고효율 및 우수한 환경보전성으로 인하여 차세대 화력발전 시스템으로 각광받고 있다. 본 연구는 석탄가스화기내의 비반응 유동장에 대한 연구로서, 순수유동장 및 미분탄입자를 포함한 이상유동장에 대한 전산해석을 수행하였다. 가스화기내의 유동장을 기술하는 Navier-Stokes방정식을 유한차분법에 의하여 해석하고 그 결과를 나타내었다. 특히 선회유동의 영향에 의한 미분탄입자의 거동 및 재순환영역의 특성에 대하여 선회강도의 함수로 고찰하였다. 해석결과에 의하면 가스화기내에서는 며책의 재순환영역이 형성됨을 알 수 있었다. 비반응유동장의 해석결과이지만, 선회유동은 화염안정화에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있을 것으로 추측되는 결과를 보였다.

Swirling flows are found in very wide range of applications, for examples, cyclone separators, spraying machines, heat exchangers and jet pumps, ect. Relatively, little work has been done on the swirl flow using flow visualization techniques. This study deals with many visualization techniques to study on swirling flow. These techniques are related to oil films methods, smoke, dye liquids, liquid crystal, stroboscope light, smoke wire, white light, naphthalene sublimation, LDV(lase doppler Velocimetry) and PIV(particle image velocimetry). The present work has handled single, annular, carved tube, swirl expansion and swirl wake using several visualization methods in the vertical and horizontal circular tube.

IMO는 해상에서의 선박 안전 향상을 위해 선박의 복원성능과 조종성능에 관한 국제적 기준을 제시하고 있다. 이러한 기준은 선박 연구자가 수행하는 연구의 방향에도 영향을 미치고 있다. 기존의 수행된 연구는 복원성능과 조종성능의 각각의 분야에서 독립적으로 수행되어 왔으며, 아직 두 분야의 상호 관계에 관한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 선박의 복원성능과 조종성능의 상호 관계를 정량적으로 규명하고자 기초적인 실험 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위해 복원성능을 나타내는 지표인 GM과 선박의 조종성능을 나타내는 지표인 선회성능을 통해 두 항복 간 상호 관계의 정량적 분석을 시도하였다. 자유항주 모형선을 이용한 선회 시험을 실시하였고, 그 결과 GM 감소에 따른 선회반경 감소 및 초기 횡경사 각도 증가를 확인했으며, 그 변화의 경향은 서로 다르게 나타나는 것을 확인하였다.

Performed were 2-phase numerical studies on two types of fuel atomizers, plain orifice and pressure swirl atomizer. In case of plain orifice, cavitation model was applied so that discharge coefficient, cavitation size, and magnitude of cavitation region characterized and compared with experimental results for several different pressure enforced to the orifice. In case of swirl atomizer, VOF model was applied to analyze air core size, spray angle, and wall pressure distributions with comparison of experimental results.

The flat flame made by swirling air has lots of the different characteristics according to the swirl numbers in the burner throat. Its combustion characteristics are also affected by them. In this study, the flow patterns in the flat flame burner which is no firing condition were investigated experimentally with using smoke in terms of each swirl number. Also the blow off, flame structure, temperature distribution and NO emission in the firing condition were measured at the atmosphere and combustion furnace.

Three-dimensional pipe flows with elbows and tees for few different pipe fittings are calculated to estimate the effect of swirling flow on measuring accuracy of orifice flow meter. It is evaluated how the pressure difference across the orifice is dependent on the length of upstream straight pipe in a branch and how swirl intensity, swirl angel and axial velocity distribution affect the measuring error of orifice flowmeter. From the results, it is found that, regardless of flow rate specified in this calculation, the effect of the straight pipe length can be neglected for the lengths larger than thirty diameters although there still remain significant swirl at the orifice
