This paper studies the differences due to the wall effect in propeller open water(POW) characteristics tested in a towing tank and in a medium size cavitation tunnel(CT). When the advanced velocity of the propeller is defined as the flow velocity measured in the plane of propeller, POW characteristics resulting from CT has a better relationship with them of towing tank. To obtain the wall effect in the propeller plane, numerical computation using the lifting panel theory is performed with and without the wall around a propeller. Then, POW results in CT are corrected based on the wall effect from numerical results. The POW results obtained from this procedure show a better agreement with the experimental results in the towing tank.

This paper presents the influence of Reynolds number on propeller open-water performance at the towing tank and the cavitation tunnel for series propellers(No. of blade=4, $0.3{\leq}A_E/A_O{\leq}0.75,\;0.5{\leq}P/D{\leq}1.1$). It is shown that the Reynolds number recommanded by 15th and 17th ITTC is not large enough to obtain reliable P.O.W. test results and then the suitable test conditions for the both facilities is suggested. The correlation of the propeller open-water characteristics at the cavitation tunnel and the towing tank is described and a correlation factor $\kappa$ is deduced from those test results. The viscous effect of the flow around the propeller shaft on the propeller characteristics is investigated from the velocity measurement by Laser Doppler Velocitimetry(L.D.V.). The measured velocity distribution shows that viscous flow effect is not negligible.

A numerical solution method of the incompressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations is applied for calculating turbulent flows and performances of a marine propeller in open-water, four-quadrant conditions. Computed propeller flows of the model propeller P4381, for which the experimental data of the open-water performances exist, reveal complex viscous-flow characteristics including three-dimensional flow separations in various off-design conditions and also computed propeller thrusts and torques agree quite well with experimental data except some cases for which severe propeller cavitations occurred in the experiment.

RANS 방정식의 수치해법을 사용해서 tractor와 pusher 방식의 포드 프로펠러 주위 점성유동을 계산함으로써 포드형 전동 추진기의 추진 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 본 연구에 사용한 수치해석 방법을 검증하기 위하여 최근 국내에서 모형 실험이 수행된 포드 프로펠러 형상에 대해 수치계산을 수행하고, 계산으로부터 얻어진 tractor와 pusher 방식의 포드 프로펠러에 대한 단독 성능을 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 또한, 포드에 작용하는 압력 및 프로펠러 날개 주위의 유동을 분석함으로써, 포드가 프로펠러의 추진 성능에 미치는 영향과 tractor와 pusher 추진 방식의 특성을 살펴보았다.

The MAU-series propellers were designed and tested in japan. This report presents the polynomial coefficients of open water Characteristics for each standard MAU-series propellers, obtained by multiple polynomial regression analysis in terms of pitch-diameter ratio and advance coefficient. The limitation of applicability and the accuracy of the regression polynomial are also discussed.

A new propeller series is developed using the newly developed blade section(KH18 section) which behaves better cavitation characteristics and higher lift-drag ratio at wide range of angle-of-attack. The pitch and camber distributions are disigned in order to have the same radial and chordwise loading distribution with the selected circumferentially averaged wake input. Since the geometries of the series propeller, such as chord length, thickness, skew and rate distribations, are selected by regression of the recent full scale propeller geometric data, the performance prediction of a propeller at preliminary design stage can be mure realistic. Number of blades of the series propellers is 4 and the expanded blade area ratios are 0.3, 0.45, 0.6 and 0.75. Mean pitch ratios are selected as 0.5, 0.65, 0.8, 0.75 and 1.1 for each expanded area ratio. The new propeller series is composed of 20 propellers and is named as KD(KRISO-DAEWOO) propeller series. Propeller open water tests are performed at the experimental towing tank, and the cavitation observation tests and fluctuating pressure measurements are carried out at the cavitation tunnel of KRISO. $B_{P}-\delta$ curves, which can be used to select the optimum propeller diameter at the preliminary design stage, are derived from a regression analysis of the propeller often water test results. The KD-cavitation chart is derived from the cavitation observation test results by choosing the local maximum lift coefficient and the local cavitation number as parameters. The caviy extent of a propeller can be predicted more accurately by using the KD-cavitation chart at a preliminary design stage, since it is derived from the results of the cavitation observation tests in the selected ship's wake, whereas the existing cavitation charts, such as the Burrill's cavitation chart, are derived from the test results in uniform flow.

Current trends in propeller design have led to the need for extremely complex blade shapes, which place great demands on the accuracy of design and analysis methods. This paper presents a new proposal for improving the prediction of propeller performance with a vortex lattice method using the lifting surface theory. The paper presents a review of the theory and a description of the numerical methods employed. For 8 different propellers, the open water characteristics are calculated and compared with experimental data. The results are in good agreement in the region of a high advanced velocity, but there are differences in the other case. We have corrected the parameters for the trailing wake modeling in this paper, and repeated the calculation. The new calculation results are more in agreement with the experimental data.

최근 우리나라 어선어업은 한중일 어업협정, 연안 어업자원 감소 및 연안오염 등 사회적, 환경적 변화가 급변하고 있어 이들을 고려한 어선 선형개발이 필요로 한다. 현재 우리나라의 어선 중 연안지역에서 조업하는 5톤 미만의 소형어선은 전체 어선 중 $65\%$ 이상으로 구성되어 있으나 선박의 크기가 작고 부가가치가 낮은 관계로 지금까지 전문적인 연구는 거의 없었던 것이 현실이다. 한편, 서$\cdot$남해 연안에서 작업 및 항해하는 연안어선들의 해양사고 발생율은 전체사고의 $69.6\%$로 매년 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 전체 어선 안전사고 중 부유폐어망, 로프 등이 추진기에 감긴 사고는 전체 사고의 $10.4\%$로 매년 증가하고 있다. 이에, 추진기 손상에 의한 어선 사고와 연관하여 추진기를 보호하기 위한 장치로서 물분사 추진기(Water-Jet), 펌프제트(Pump-Jet)장치들이 있으나 이들은 고가 수입품으로서 영세한 어민들의 소형어선에 장착하기에는 한계가 있어, 본 연구에서는 폐그물, 로프 등 해상 부유물에 의한 추진기 손상이 발생되지 않는 프로펠러 보호터널 부착 추진장치를 개발을 목적으로 한다. 프로펠러 부착 추진장치는 기존 선미를 수정하여 추진기를 선체 안쪽으로 배치하며 돌출되는 부분은 덕트로 보호하고 있으며 이러한 추진기는 워터제트 추진기와는 달리 가격이 싸고 그물이나 부유물에 걸리지 않고 고장 시 신속한 대응이 쉬워 소형 연안어선에 적합할 뿐만 아니라 그물, 부유물, 갯벌이 많은 국내의 서$\cdot$남해 연안에서 작업 및 항해 시 매우 유용할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 `프로펠러 보호터널 부착 연안어선의 선형개발`을 최종목표로 수행하였으며, 연구개발 내용은 기존 소형 연안어선의 분류 및 특성 조사 연구, 프로펠러 보호터널형 선미 선형 개발, 기존 선형 및 보호터널형 선형의 모형시험, 개발선의 구조강도 특성, 프로펠러 설계 및 단독시험, 보호터널 부착 추진기의 효율 검증 및 개발 대상 어선의 조선공학적 제 계산, 설계도작성 등을 실시하였다. 주요 요소 기술로서는 프로펠러 보호터널 부착 선형의 모형시험을 통하여 선미선형을 개발하며 FRP판부재의 구조강도 특성을 분석하고 그 결과를 활용하여 4톤급 연안어선의 시제선을 건조하고 시운전을 통하여 주요성능을 확인하였다.

A feasibility study is performed for practical application of a Ventilating Water-Jet(VWJ) propulsor which attracts new attention as a candidate propulsor for super-high speed vessels. Super-cavitating foil sections are adopted for the rotor blades since the rotor is operating at ventilating condition. Wedge type and cavitator type foil sections are used for the design of rotor blades. Other geometric characteristics of rotors are selected from the Kaplan type ducted propeller rotors. The test section of KRISO cavitation tunnel is modified to perform open-water tests of the VWJ propulsors. The tests are performed both at fully-submerged and free-jet conditions. Ventilation occurred at the free-jet condition by sucking the air in the downstream side of the rotor, which easily develops as super-cavitation when the rotor operates at lower advance coefficients. Spoilers are attached at the trailing end of the pressure side of the blade section, in order to increase the lift force.
