  • The Coanda effect is the phenomenon of a fluid jet to stay attached to a curved surface; when a jet stream is applied tangentially to a convex surface, lift force is generated by increase in the circulation. The Coanda effect has great potential to be applied practically applied to marine hydrodynamics where various lifting surfaces are being widely used to control the behavior of ships and offshore structures. In the present study, Numerical simulations and corresponding experiments were performed to ascertain the applicability of the Coanda effect to a horn-type rudder. It was found that the Coanda jet increases the lift coefficient of the rudder by as much as 52% at a jet momentum coefficient of 0.1 and rudder angle of $10^{\circ}$.

  • The shape of a conventional full spade rudder has been modified to implement the Coanda effect and consequential changes in the flow characteristics are carefully examined to show the significant enhancement in the lift performance. A preliminary numerical study has been done to identify the optimum configuration of the modified rudder sections. For the purpose, chord wise locations of the jet slit and the radii of the trailing edge were varied in several ways and the changes in the lift characteristics have been observed at the various angles of attack, particularly focusing on the usefulness of the Coanda effect upon delaying the stall or increase in the circulation. Making the most use of the results so attained, full spade rudder of a VLCC has been reformed to realize the Coanda effect. A series of model experiments and numerical simulations are performed to confirm the effectiveness of the Coanda effect in improving the performance of the modified rudder. It is found that considerable enhancement in the lift performance of the rudder is plausible at any rudder angle if an optimum jet momentum is provided.

  • To keep the ocean environment from pollutions, strict international requirements on the controllability are arisen to the VLCC. Especially in low speed operations near the harbor, the VLCC is often supported by tug to replenish the insufficient rudder force. When water jet is blown to the flapped rudder, the Coanda effect induces a high-lift force by delaying stall and re-enforcing circulation in a large angle of attack (Lachmann 1961, Ahn 2003). Based on numerous research efforts, the rudder system supported by the Coanda effect was devised and its performances were evaluated in the towing tank for a large VLCC model. Hydrodynamic forces acting on the rudder system were measured with a water jet blowing on the rudder surface and compared with those acting on a conventional rudder. The effectiveness of the new rudder system was proven through an experimental evaluation.

  • The Coanda effect is noticeable when a jet stream is applied tangential to a curved surface since then the jet stream remains attached to the surface beyond the point where flow separates otherwise and results in augmentation of circulation and lift. Numerous experimental and numerical studies have been performed in various fields of aerodynamics to exploit the Coanda effect and many of them found to be useful. It can be speculated that the Coanda effect may have practical application to the field of marine hydrodynamics as well since various control surfaces are being used to control behaviors of ships and offshore structures. In the present study, the Coanda effect has been applied to a horn type rudder and a series of numerical computations and model experiments are performed to find the practical applicability. The results indicate that the Coanda jet increases the lift coefficient of the rudder as much as 52% at the momentum coefficient $C_j$ = 0.1 and the rudder angle ${\alpha}=10^{\circ}$.

  • A jet stream applied tangential to a curved surface in fluid increases lift force by strengthening circulation around the surface and this phenomenon is known as the Coanda effect. Many experimental and numerical studies have been performed on the Coanda effect and the results found to be useful in various fields of aerodynamics. Recently, preliminary studies on Coanda control surface are in progress to look for practical application in marine hydrodynamics since various control surfaces are used to control behaviors of ships and offshore structures. In the present study, the performance of a Coanda control surface with different geometries of the jet injection nozzle was surveyed to assess applicability to ship rudders. A numerical simulation was carried out to study flow characteristics around a section of a horn type rudder subjected to a tangential jet stream. The RANS equations, discretized by a cell-centered finite volume method were used for this computation after verification by comparing to the experimental data available. Special attentions have been given to the sensitivity of the lift performance of a Coanda rudder to the location of the slit (outlet) and intake of the gap between the horn and rudder surface at the various angles of attack. It is found that the location of the water intake is important in enhancing the lift because the gap functions as a conduit of nozzle generating a jet sheet on the rudder surface.

  • 선박의 고속화에 따라서 선체를 부양시키거나 자세를 제어하기 위하여 높은 양력을 발생시키는 장치의 필요성이 증대하게 되었다. 뿐만 아니라 해양오염방지를 위하여 IMO 등의 국제기구에서는 대형 신조선에 대하여 충분한 조종성능을 확보할 것을 권장하고 있어서 높은 양력을 발생시키는 타의 필요성이 증대하게 되었다. 높은 양력을 얻는 문제는 항공분야에서 오래 전부터 핵심적인 문제로 다루어져 왔으며 그중 대표적인 것이 Coanda장치이다. 방형비척계수가 크고 길이-폭비가 작은 저속비대선에서는 통상적인 타를 부착한 경우에 높은 양력을 얻기 어려우므로 플랩이 부탁된 타를 선정하고 이에 Coanda장치를 도입하였을 때 성능이 향상되는 것을 선형시험수조에서 실험적으로 확인하고자 하였다.

  • Rudder is to be located in extremely complicated flows generated and disturbed behind a hull and a propeller in operation. In order to estimate the rudder efficiency, it is quite important to investigate the disturbed flows due to the interaction under the hull-propeller and rudder condition. The purpose of the present research is to investigate the interaction between the hull-propeller and a high-lifting horn-type rudder through both numerical computations and experiments. A horn-type rudder implementing the Coanda effect of USB (Upper Surface Blowing) type is selected for its high efficiency of lifting force, and a 1/85 scaled model of 47K PC(Product Carrier) is manufactured for the purpose of the model test. The forces acting on the rudder during the experiment are measured using a three-component force gauge. Both cases are investigated in the hull-propeller-rudder condition and rudder open-water condition, which confirms that the flows generated under the former condition is considerably different from that of the latter condition.

  • 안전하며 친환경적인 근해운송시스템을 확보하기 위해서는 운송 수단인 선박의 안전한 운항 확보가 필수적이다. 특히 좌초, 충돌 등의 해난사고를 방지하기 위해서는 선박이 우수한 조종성능을 갖는 것이 요구되며 특히 조종성능 중에서 선회성능은 충돌 회피 등에 필수적인 성능이다. 본 연구에서는 선박에 부착된 조타기의 타력 증가가 선박의 선회성능에 미치는 영향을 모형선 실험을 통하여 고찰하였다. 먼저 Coanda 효과를 이용한 고 양력 타 장치 모형과 47 K PC의 모형선을 제작하였다. 또한 모형선의 선회 성능 실험을 위한 자유항주시스템을 구축하고 사각 수조에서의 타력 증가 값을 변화시켜가면서 모형선의 선회 성능을 계측하여 타력 증가에 따른 선회 성능의 변화를 평가하였다. 모형선의 선회성능 실험결과를 통해 타력 증가가 근해운송 선박의 선회 성능 향상에 효과적인 것을 확인하였다.

  • High lifting devices used for control purposes have received much attention in the marine field. Hydrofoils for supporting the hull, roll stabilizer fins for developing the motion damping performance, rudders for maneuverability are the well-known devices. In the present study, the ability of the rudder with flap to produce high lift was analyzed. The boundary layer control, one of the flow control techniques, was adopted. Especially, to build the blown flap, a typical and representative type of a boundary layer control, a flapped rudder was designed and manufactured so that it could eject the water jet from the gap between the main foil and the flap to the flap surface tangentially. And it was tested in the towing tank. Simultaneously, to know the information about the 2-dimensional flow field, a fin model with similar characteristics as the rudder model applicable for the motion control was made and tested in the cavitation tunnel. In addition, local flow measurements were carried out to obtain physical information, for example, a surface pressure measurement and flow visualization around the flap. And CFD simulation was used to obtain information difficult to collect from the experiment about the 2-dimensional flow.
