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.

A marine flapped rudder is designed to improve the effective lift generated by the rudder; this also improves the maneuverability of the ship. The flap is a high lift device installed at the trailing edge of the rudder to augment lift. In this paper, the characteristics of a thick flapped rudder are analyzed at a low Reynolds number with various ratios of flap chord length to total chord length and various aspect ratios, based on the computational fluid dynamics technique. The performance of the rudder with respect to lift, drag, and center of pressure are investigated, and the efficient ratio of flap chord length to total chord length and improved aspect ratio are determined. Ed: highlight - or 'superior'. As a case study, the flow on the flapped rudder of an NACA0021 section shape in free stream condition is simulated. The standard k-epsilon turbulence model is used to model the flow around the flapped rudder. The results indicate that the efficient ratio of the flap chord length to total chord length and aspect ratio are 0.3 and 1.4, respectively.

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.

For a long times it has been believed that the Magnus effect of the rotating cylinder could be utilized for the lifting devices applicable to marine practices. It has been reported that the rotating cylinder installed on upper deck of commercial vessel could play a energy saving role however the idea might be applicable in a very rare case in ship building practices. In this study special high lift rudder system equipped with the trailing edge rotor has been suggested in correspondence with the increasing requirement of greater rudder force. Through the numerical simulation it is cleared that the trailing edge rotor could play a role in enhancement of circulation and refinement of boundary layer of the rudder system. At the same time it is found out that the lift force of the rudder system without rotation of trailing edge rotor could be doubled when the circumferential velocity of the trailing edge rotor is equal to twice of the inflow velocity.

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.

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.

최근 선박의 좌초 및 추돌 사고로 인한 해양오염이 심각해짐에 따라 선박의 조종성능에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있는 가운데 IMO에서는 Resolution MSC.137을 채택함으로써 조종성능에 대한 국제적인 기준이 강화되었다. 선박의 조종성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 여러 가지 방법이 있으나 본 연구에서는 타의 양적 증가가 조종성능 향상에 얼마나 기여하는지를 알아보고자 한다. 조종성능 평가 방법으로 수치 시뮬레이션을 이용하였고, 대상선형은 공시선형인 Mariner Class Vessel로 하였다. 조종성능 평가 방법은 선회 시험과 지그재그 시험을 수행하였고, 고 양력 타의 적용은 수학모델에서 타와 관련된 동유체력 미계수의 값을 양력 증가에 따라 변화 시켜 조종성능의 변화를 예측하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 타의 양력 증가로 인해 선회성능 개선이 예상되나, 변침성능을 저해할 가능성이 있는 것을 확인하였다.

The increasing size and speed of cargo ships result in high speed flow in propeller slipstream, and thereby cavitation is frequently observed on and around a rudder system. Rudder gap cavitation is the most difficult one to control and suppress among various types of the cavitation on a rudder system. In the present study, experiments of the incipient cavitation and pressure measurement were carried out for typical cargo ship rudder sections with and without the suppression devices, which were suggested by the authors. Fundamental understanding of the rudder gap cavitation inception was obtained along with its relevance to the surface pressure distribution. It is confirmed that the gap flow blocking devices effectively suppress the rudder gap cavitation and, at the same time, augment lift.

Recently, rudder erosion due to cavitation has been frequently reported on a semi-spade rudder of a high-speed large ship. This problem raises economic and safety issues when operating ships. The semi-spade rudders have a gap between the horn/pintle and the movable wing part. Due to this gap, a discontinuous surface, cavitation phenomenon arises and results in unresolved problems such as rudder erosion. In this study, we made a rudder model for 2-D experiments using the NACA0020 and also manufactured gap flow blocking devices to insert to the gap of the model. In order to study the gap flow characteristics at various rudder deflection angles($5^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $35^{\circ}$) and the effect of the gap flow blocking devices, we carried out the velocity measurements using PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) techniques and cavitation observation using high speed camera in Seoul National University cavitation tunnel. To observe the gap cavitation on a semi-spade rudder, we slowly lowered the inside pressure of the cavitation tunnel until cavitation occurred near the gap and then captured it using high-speed camera with the frame rate of 4300 fps(frame per second). During this procedure, cavitation numbers and the generated location were recorded, and these experimental data were compared with CFD results calculated by commercial code, Fluent. When we use gap flow blocking device to block the gap, it showed a different flow character compared with previous observation without the device. With the device blocking the gap, the flow velocity increases on the suction side, while it decreases on the pressure side. Therefore, we can conclude that the gap flow blocking device results in a high lift-force effect. And we can also observe that the cavitation inception is delayed.
