In this paper, calculation of towing force required to tow the ship and experiments to verify its appropriacy are discussed. Friction, wind and wave-making resistance of vessel are considered to calculate towing force of specified vessel. Propeller resistance is also reflected and it is assumed that the propellers are locked. Node analysis to estimate additional resistance on towline is applied. Total towing force could be obtained by adding the ship's resistance and towline resistance. Experiments with training ship SAE YU DAL was executed to check the effectiveness of calculation methods and some comparison between experiments and calculation results was also done. From the comparative analysis, we confirmed that towing speed is primary terms in the calculation of towing force and propeller resistance is a major elements of ship's resistance with the increasing of towing speed. We can see that additional resistance induced by yawing of ship during towing have to be considered for total tow resistance.

In this paper, calculation methods of resistance of the ship to be towed and towline tension are discussed. When the vessel is fallen into dead ship condition then appropriate towing force have to be estimated to move the vessel from accident place to safe area. In this research, resistance of the ship to be towed and the tow hawser were considered to estimate total towline tension. Polynomial interpolation method is also applied to estimate additional hydrodynamic resistance of towline. Finally, UI program to calculate the resistance and total towline tension is developed. The developed program based on the research results is effective and convenient to use.

현재 모형선을 이용한 선형성능 검증방법에는 크게 2가지 방법이 있다. 첫째는 예인수조에서 예인전차를 이용하여 정수중에 배를 예인시켜 그에 따른 저항을 시험하는 방법이 있고, 둘째는 회류수조에서 배를 고정하여 물을 회전시켜 모형선의 저항을 측정하는 방법이 있다. 이와 같은 방법은 저속 및 대형선박을 검증하기 위해 계발된 방법들로 소형 고속어선 및 고속레저선박의 저항성능 평가를 수행하기 어려운 것이 현실이다. 예인전차의 예인속도와 회류수조 물의 유속이 소형 고속어선 및 고속레저선박의 속력에 미치지 못하기 때문이다. 따라서 고속을 요하는 선박의 저항성능 평가를 위해 새로운 방법 연구가 필요하다. 이에 고속선의 저항성능 시험을 위해 실 해상에서 일반 선박을 이용하여 예인하는 방법을 적용하여 저항시험을 수행하였으며 그에 맞는 시스템을 설계하였다.

One of the primary purposes of tugs is for the towing of other ships in salvage operations. In order to conduct such a task safely, the tug should be capable of generating the appropriate towing forces. Therefore the prediction of resistance against a towed ship during towing operation is a very important and essential procedure. This paper studies the ship resistance calculation program to predict towing force. The calculation program consists of the functions that calculate basic hull resistance in calm water, added resistance due to wind, drifting, hull roughness, waves, shallow water and currents. All predictions are calculated by statistical and empirical methods by graph or formula. The calculation results made by this program are compared with the results from the U.S. Navy's Towing Manual. These results confirm that this computer program is quite capable of appropriately predicting the resistance of damaged ships.

Most of hull resistance prediction methods which are used to calculate the towing force of disabled ships are very simple and old-fashioned. In particular, in cases of barge ships, a method similar to the US Navy Towing Manual is being used. This paper reviewed the US Navy Towing Manual and the notification method of Korea Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries and proved that these prediction methods are irrational and inaccurate. Furthermore, a new Modified-Yamagata-Barge method is introduced as a more rational and accurate resistance prediction method which can be applied in case of barge ships.

해양사고 발생 직후 2차적인 피해로의 확산을 방지하기 위한 조치로 사고선박을 안전한 장소로 이동하게 된다. 사고선박의 크기와 상태 그리고 해상조건을 고려하여 예선의 크기와 척수가 결정된다. 이 과정에서 사고선박의 선체저항을 계산하게 되는데, 기존의 이론식을 적용하여 계산하고 이에 대한 검증 단계로 예인실험을 실시하였다. 대상선박은 목포해양대학교 실습선 새유달호이며, 장력계, 외력 측정장치 등 실험장치는 실습선에 탑재하여 계측하였다. 실험장소는 목포해양대학교 인근 묘박지이며, 당시 풍속은 7m/s, 조류는 0.7m/s 전후이었으며, 횡방향 예인, 전방 2척 예인, 전 후방예인, 프로펠러고착, 예인속력의 변화 등 다양한 시나리오에 대하여 실험을 실시하였다. 장력의 계측은 예선의 예인삭을 사용하였으며, 실습선 선수미 비트에 장력계를 연결하여 측정하였고, 장력계의 최대측정 범위는 20톤을 사용하였다. 예인속력은 정지에서 3m/s까지 단계적으로 증가시키면서 해당 속력별 장력을 계측하여 속력증가에 따른 예인력을 확인하였다. 최종적으로 이론계산 결과와 실선실험 결과를 상호 비교하여 이론계산식의 유효성을 검증하였다.

It is necessary to estimate more accurately the resistance of barge in still water and waves to compute the break load of towline and towing power for safety towing performance. The method proposed by government has calculated the total resistance of barge which is composed of frictional resistance, wave making resistance and air resistance considering the shape of hull and towing speed. However, the added resistance is equally applied with the significant wave height regardless of the type of vessels. In this study, we have carried out the numerical calculation to estimate the added resistance of wigley model in waves and compared with the experiment data to confirm the accuracy of the method. Then the computation was executed for the barge varying shape of the bow. As a result, added resistance of barge was differently occurred i.e. 0.3∼1.1 ton according to encounter angle, 0.4∼1.2 ton according to towing speed and 0.5∼1.1 ton according to shape of bow.

예인시스템의 설계는 예인준비 과정에서 취해질 단계적 지침과 예인선을 선택하고 예인속력을 예측하는 것을 포함한다. 예인시스템을 설계할 때에는 외력환경의 변화 가능성과 예상치 못한 상황을 고려하여 예인선 및 예인설비를 선택하기 때문에 예인색장력 계산, 예인선 및 예인장비의 선정, 그리고 확인 및 수정단계와 같은 주요 3가지 단계를 반복 계산하는 과정이 요구되고, 이를 통하여 최적의 예인시스템을 설계하게 된다. 예인을 계획하고 시스템을 설계할 때 고려할 사항은 예인의 크기 및 조건, 요구되는 예인속력, 사용가능한 예인선의 용량과 예인색 사양, 예인저항에 의한 예인색 장력과 동적하중, 예인색 현수부를 감안한 수심과 예인색길이, 그리고 예인선의 복원성 등을 고려하여야 한다. 이러한 요소들은 상호 연관성이 있으며, 예인속력은 날씨 또는 예인조건에 따라 제한될 수 있다. 그리고 예인시스템은 최상의 배치가 이루어졌는지 확인하기 위해 전체적으로도 점검되어져야 한다.

When a disabled ship is being towed in a seaway, the speed and direction of the towed ship are estimated by using the towing force and direction of the selected tug boats at the predicted sea conditions including the wind and currents. In this paper, prediction method at the towing conditions of the various towing operations for a disabled ship are studied. The proposed calculation method suggests firstly the method to import the speed and resistance of the forward direction of the towed ship calculated by the existing computer program, second, the method to calculate the speed and resistance of the towed direction of the towed ship acquired from the selected tug boats at the initial towing conditions and lastly, the method to calculate the speed and resistance of the towed direction for the towed ship at the stable towing conditions. These calculation methods have been applied to the computer program and this program has been approved to be a useful program, capable of appropriately predicting the towed ship's conditions.

It is one of the important processes to predict the resistance of the towed ship when towing a disabled ship on the sea. Besides the basic resistance of hull itself, there are various added resistance, especially the added resistance due to waves can be considered one of the biggest component. In this paper, the algorithm which predict the added resistance due to waves of a disabled ship by theoretical analysis method of ISO 15016 standard was established, and realized as a computer program. The calculated result for an example ship was compared with existing standard one, and it is considered that this algorithm and computer program are appropriate to use for predicting the resistance and towing force of the disabled ship actually.
