In this study, we conducted resistance and propulsion performance test of ship composed of the Resistance Test, Propeller Open Water Test and Self Propulsion Test using the CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics). We used commercial RANS(Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes equation) solver, as a calculating tool. The unstructured grids were used in a bow and stern of ship, having complex shape, for a convenience of generating grids, and the structured grids were adopted in a central hull and rest of hull having a relatively simple shape which is called hybrid grid method. In addition, The sliding mesh method was adopted to rotate a propeller directly in the Propeller Open Water and Self Propulsion Test. The Resistance Test and Self Propulsion Test were calculated using Volume of Fluid (VOF) model and considering a free surface. And all The three cases were applied realizable k-epsilon model as the turbulence model. The results of calculations were verified for the suitability of calculations by comparing MOERI's EFD results.

As international environmental regulations on ship emissions are gradually strengthened, interest in electric propulsion and hybrid propulsion ships is increasing, and various solutions are being developed and applied to these ships, especially stabilization of the power system and system efficiency. The direct current distribution system is being applied as a way to increase the power. In addition, verification and testing of safety and performance of marine DC distribution systems is required. As a result of establishing a DC distribution test bed, verifying the performance of the DC distribution (variable speed power generation) system, and analyzing fuel consumption, this study applied a variable speed power generation system that is applied to DC power distribution for ships, and converted the power output from the generator into a rectifier. A system was developed to convert direct current power to connect to the system and monitor and control these devices. Through tests using this DC distribution system, the maximum voltage was 751.5V and the minimum voltage was 731.4V, and the voltage fluctuation rate was 2.7%, confirming that the voltage is stably supplied within 3%, and a variable speed power generation system was installed according to load fluctuations. When applied, it was confirmed through testing that fuel consumption could be reduced by more than 20% depending on the section compared to the existing constant speed power generation system.

청정지역으로 규정된 제로에미션 지역을 통과하기 위해서는 배터리를 포함한 전기시스템을 사용하여 외력 특성과 무관하게 안정된 운전성능을 유지해야만 한다. 또한 전기시스템이 항구에서 완충된 상태로 출항이 진행되어서 목표지점에 도착한 경우 뿐만 아니라, 운항 중 발전기 시스템에서 배터리를 충전하고 회항지점에서 항구까지 안정된 전력을 유지해야만 한다. 그러나 운항이 진행되면서 선체에 작용되는 외력을 극복하기 위해 추진력을 급속히 변화하게 된다. 이러한 방법은 제한된 에네지를 사용하는 전기시스템에서 급격한 속도 변화는 에너지 사용량을 증가시키고, 진동, 발진등 추진체에 수명을 단축시키는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전기시스템의 전력 변화량을 기반으로 제로에미션을 운항하는 운전방법을 제안한다. 제안된 속도제어방법은 모드별로 선정된 속도변화량을 기준으로 모터의 토크응답성과 전력 변화특성을 PSIM을 사용하여 모의시험하였고, 구동부 하드웨어를 구현하여 성능을 부하 모의시험장치에서 검증하였다.

Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) occurs owing to the vortex generated from the back side of the appendages of ships and submarines during operation. Recently, the importance of high-order modes (HOMs) vibration and fatigue failure has become increasingly emphasized by increasing the speed of ships and the size of structures. In addition, predicting the vibration of HOMs is significantly necessary as the VIV becomes stronger in the fast flow speed condition than in the low flow speed condition. This study introduces a methodology according to HOMs hybrid Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) for predicting the HOMs VIV on the hydrofoils. The HOMs FSI system is verified by comparing the VIV results from the FSI simulation with the experimental results. Finally, the effectiveness of the HOMs FSI is determined by applying the maximum von-Mises stress obtained from the VIV on the hydrofoil to the S-N curve released from Det Norske Veritas (DNV). VIV results from the HOMs FSI include the lock-in characteristics as well as a significant increase of more than 10 times compared with that of low-order modes (LOMs) FSI. In the future works, advanced studies will be required for improving cantilever boundary conditions and the shape of hydrofoils.

In view of the importance of material reduction and rational structural design due to the rapid increase in oil and steel prices, an optimized structural hybrid design system for the doubler plate of a ship's hull structure was developed. A direct design process by a structural designer was added to this developed optimized system to increase the design efficiency and provide a way of directly inserting a designer's decisions into the design system process. As the first step of the doubler design system development, the design formulas used in doubler design system were introduced. Based on the introduction of influence coefficients $K_{t_c}$ $K_{t_d}$, $K_{b_d}$ and $K_{a_d}$ according to the variations in the doubler length, breadth, doubler thickness, and average corrosion thickness of the main plate, the design formulas for an equivalent plate thickness were developed, and a hybrid design system using these formulas was suggested for the slender doubler plate of a ship structure subjected to a longitudinal in-plane compression load. By using this developed design system, a more rational doubler plate design can be expected considering the efficient reinforcement of the plate members of ship structures. Additionally, a more detailed structural analysis through local strength evaluations will be performed to verify the efficiency of the optimum structural design for the doubler plate.

High-speed planing craft is generally smaller than commercial vessels, for which not only the roll motion but also the pitch and heave motions are relatively large during operation However, if seakeeping performance of high-speed planing craft is evaluated by assessment methods of commercial vessels considering roll damping only, it would get unreasonable results due to excessive magnitudes of motion. This research aims at developing a procedure to evaluate seakeeping performance of high-speed planing craft reasonably well by considering responses of roll, heave and pitch motions. In addition, we tried to combine advantages of the potential flow method and CFD in this procedure, a so-called hybrid method, which uses the 3D panel method for the analysis of seakeeping performance, and tunes the damping coefficient using CFD analysis at a specific frequency. Finally, we evaluated seakeeping performance of coastal rescue boat in operation by applying the proposed procedure, and analyzed the results referring to the seakeeping criteria.

Most conventional systems of fire fighting control in a ship have been based on rule-based system in which expert knowledges are expressed with production rules. Renewing and adding of rules is needed continuously for the improvement of the system capability in an already build-up system and such adding and renewing procedures could hinder users from fluent utilization of a system. The author proposes an advanced fire fighting control intelligent system (A-FFIS) using rule-based and carte-based reasoning by clustering to implement conventional hybrid system (H-FFIS). Compared with H-FFIS, new approach with A-FFIS shows that the system proposed here improves fire detection rate and reduces fire detection time.

An active mount is devised in same geometric constraints with a conventional rubber mount. The proposed mount features the piezoelectric actuator which can be used to reduce the vibration at marine vessels or automotive vehicles. As a first step, a passive rubber mount is adopted and its dynamic characteristics are experimentally evaluated. Based on the geometry of the rubber mount, a rubber element for the active mount is manufactured and integrated with two piezostacks in series, in which the piezostack is operated as an inertial type of actuator. A conventional PID controller featured by the simple and easy implementation, is then designed to attenuate the non-resonant high frequency vibration transmitted from the base excitation. Finally, the control performances of a proposed active mount are evaluated in the wide frequency range and compared with those of the conventional rubber mount.

As IMO environmental regulations are tightened, the need to establish a system that can reduce emissions is increasing, and for this purpose, various power control management systems have been studied and implemented as a new energy management system for ships. In this study, we design a control process through modeling for Bi-Directional Converter (BDC) application with bi-directional power flow to link batteries, which are energy storage devices, to conventional generator power systems, and propose mechanisms for batteries optimized for varying loads. This work models MATLAB/Simulink as a BDC and simulates current control and state of charge (SOC) optimization at the time of charging and discharging batteries according to load scenarios. Through this, the battery, power, and load were interlocked so that the generator operated on board could be operated in the optimal operation range, and power control management was performed to enable the generator to operate in the high fuel efficiency range.
