The aim of this research is to predict the thickness and loading noise of the round-tip shaped Hartzell propeller currently used in the general aviation aircraft. Before implementing the noise analysis, the pressure distribution on the propeller was obtained by using the free wake panel method and unsteady Bernoulli's equation. The noise signal at observer position can be obtained by using the FW-H equation. The noise prediction results for the propeller indicates that the thickness noise has s symmetric directivity pattern with respect to the tip path plane, while the noise due to loading shows higher noise directivity toward downstream than the upstream direction from the rotor plane. The loading noise is dominant rather than the thickness noise in normal operating condition.

In this study, wind tunnel test on Quad-Tilt Propeller which has tandem wings is carried out to analyze the aerodynamic interference effect of front wing and propeller on rear wing during forward flight. Using 6-axis balance system, forces and moments of whole aircraft were measured and using strain gauge at wing root, bending moments were measured to observe change of aerodynamic force of each wings. A 12-hole probe was used to measure the flow field in the wing and propeller wake. Flow characteristics were observed qualitatively through flow visualization experiment using tuft and smoke. To measure the aerodynamic interference by elements, the influence of front wing and propeller on rear wing was analyzed by changing the wings and propellers mount combination.

A series of design, theoretical analysis and model test procedures is presented for the development of an axisymmetric stator-propeller system. A preswirl stator is located in front of a propeller in order to improve the propulsion efficiency by cancellation of the slip stream rotational velocity due to the propeller. Model test results show that propulsion efficiency gain due to the symmetric stator-propeller system is about 3% compared to the single propeller. This efficiency gain would increase for full scale application since the pressure drag coefficient of the stator would decrease due to increasement of turbulent intensity behind the hull wake and increasement of Reynolds number.

In this study, the resistance test, the vertical static angle of the attack test and VPMM test will be conducted to estimate the maneuverability of underwater vehicles with ahead propeller. The vertical static test will be conducted within the range of -40deg to 40deg, to investigate the cross-flow drag at high incidence angles. The tests will be conducted by dividing the propeller rotation into a case in which the propeller rotates at a specific rpm, and a case in which the propeller rotates naturally, according to the towing speed. Hydrodynamic coefficients of vertical direction will be estimated by the captive model tests. Additionally, the vertical dynamic stability index based on estimated hydrodynamic coefficients will be calculated and the impact of the propeller revolution state on the index will be investigated. The results are expected to be used as reference test data for underwater vehicles with ahead propeller.

The position of propeller fan from duct inlet is one of basic parameters for the design of propeller fan. To investigate the effect of its position on fan characteristics, the inlet flow fields and relative flow angles were measured by a 5-hole pitot tube. The experimental results indicate that the ratio of radial flow introduced from propeller circumference to total inlet flow increases with the increase of propeller distance from duct inlet. When fan operates without duct, the total flow rate and the radial flow ratio are higher than those of any other positions of propeller relative to duct inlet. The radial flow ratio decreases as a flow coefficient and the propeller distance decrease. Therefore the front flow fields can be adjusted in some extent by varying the propeller distance according to a fan loading. The inlet flow angles are decreasing a little as a rotational speed and the propeller distance decrease. In the present case it was judged that the deviation angle of outlet flow became negative owing to a flow separation near a trailing edge.

With the global paradigm shift towards climate change, the shipbuilding industry is also considering propulsion systems that utilize eco-friendly fuels various propulsion systems are gaining attention as a result. In conventional propulsion systems, typically consisting of propellers and rudders, have evolved into a diverse range of systems due to the development of a special propulsion system known as the azimuth thruster. While azimuth thrusters were previously commonly installed on tugboats, they are now extensively used on offshore plant operation ships equipped with dynamic positioning systems. However, these azimuth thrusters require different steering methods compared to conventional propulsion systems, leading to a significant learning curve for the crew members boarding such vessels. Furthermore the availability of education related to these special propulsion systems is limited. This study aims to analyze accidents caused by inadequate control of vessels equipped with azimuth thrusters using the STAMP technique. And it proposes the necessity of standard steering commands for the safe operation of vessels equipped with special propellers.

표면영상유속계는 하천 표면의 영상을 분석하여 유속을 산정하는 매우 실용적이며 간편한 장비이다. 그러나, 표면영상유속계를 이용하여 유량을 산정하고자 할 경우, 하천 표면의 평면 측량 자료와 하천의 단면 측량 자료가 반드시 필요하다. 이 때문에 표면영상유속계의 간편성과 유용성에도 불구하고, 이용자들이 쉽게 이용하기 어렵다는 그릇된 인식을 줄 수 있다. 만일 효율적이고 간편하게 하천의 단면을 추정할 수 있다면, 표면영상유속계를 마치 일반적인 프로펠러 유속계처럼 쉽게 이용할 수 있을 것이다. 이 연구는 일반적인 평면 측량없이, 두 대의 비디오 카메라로 이루어진 표면 영상 유속계를 이용하여 하천 평면을 계측하는 방법을 개발하는 것이다. 이를 통하여 표면 영상 분석 과정을 반자동화할 수 있게 된다. 두 대의 카메라를 이용한 평면 측량은 사진 측량 분야이나 컴퓨터 비전 분야에서 오랫 동안 연구되어 왔다. 이 기법을 표면영상유속계에 적용함으로써 간단하게 하천의 평면 좌표를 구할 수 있도록 하였다. 두 대의 카메라에 대해서는 직접 선형 변환법을 이용하여 내부 표정과 외부 표정을 수행하여 변환의 매개 변수들을 추정하였다. 추정된 변수들과 공간 전방 교회법을 이용하여 하천의 고정된 기준점들의 좌표를 측정한다. 측정된 좌표점들은 기울어진 영상을 연직으로 사영된 평면으로 변환하는 데 이용되며, 이 과정을 통하여 번거로운 하천의 평면 측량 과정을 생략할 수 있게 되었다. 온천천에 실제 적용하여 본 결과, 결과는 아직은 만족할 만한 정도는 아니나, 보다 정밀한 카메라의 보정 등을 통하여 보다 나은 결과를 도출할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

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.

This paper is about the development of the 300W underwater thrusting system driven by a brushless DC motor (BLDC) for underwater robots. A design of the structure such as the structure analysis on the thrusting system using FEM and the design of the propeller using the fluid analysis has been performed. Also, a new structure such as decoupling and non-gear structure has been explained. The performance test of the designed and developed thrusting system in water and in air was undertaken and its results were compared with an existing product with high performance. The comparison results show that the developed thrusting system has better performance by 16% in forward thrusting force and by 12% in backward thrusting force.

Flow characteristics of the inflow ahead of a rotating propeller attached to a container ship model were investigated using a two-frame PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) technique. Ensemble-averaged mean velocity fields were measured at four different blade phases. The mean velocity fields show the acceleration of inflow due to the rotating propeller and the velocity deficit in the near-wake region. The axial velocity distribution of inflow in the upper plane of propeller is quite different from that in the lower plane due to the thick hull boundary layer. The propeller inflow also shows asymmetric axial velocity distribution in the port and starboard side. As the inflow moves toward the propeller, the effect of phase angle variation of propeller blade on the inflow becomes dominant. In the upper plane above the propeller axis the inflow has very low axial velocity and large turbulent kinetic energy, compared with the lower plane. The boundary layer developed along the bottom surface of stern hull forms a strong shear layer affecting vortex structure of the propeller near-wake.
