Steady state flow calculations are executed for turbo-pump inducers of modern design to validate the performance of Tascflow code. Hydrodynamic performance of inducers is evaluated and structure of the passage flow and leading edge recirculation are also investigated. Calculated results show good coincidence with experimental data of static pressure performance and velocity profiles over the leading edge. Upstream recirculation, tip leakage and vortex flow at the blade tip and near leading edge are main sources of pressure loss. Amount of pressure loss from the upstream to the leading edge corresponds to that of whole pressure loss through the blade passage. The viscous loss is considerably large due to the strong secondary flow. There appears more stronger leading edge recirculation for the backswept inducer, and this increases the pressure loss. However, blade loading near the leading edge is considerably reduced and cavitation inception delayed.

This paper considers two dimensional analysis for lubrication between the single piston ring and the cylinder liner. The piston ring is treated as a reciprocating, hydrodynamic bearing with combined sliding and squeeze motion. Reynolds' equation is used, to model lubrication with Reynolds' cavitation boundary condition. This analysis is developed to get the cyclic variation of minimum film thickness and viscous frictional force. Two types of piston ring face shape are considered. This result can be used to study the influence of ring shape design parameter to improve the characteristics of sealing and lubrication.

We conduct numerical simulations of the interaction of a deformable structure with two-phase compressible flow. The finite volume method (FVM) is used to simulate fluid phenomena including a shock wave, a gas bubble, and the deformation of free surface. The deformation of a floating structure is computed with the finite element method (FEM). The compressible two-phase volume of fluid (VOF) method is used for the generation and development of a cavitation bubble, and the immersed boundary method (IBM) is used to impose the effect of the structure on the fluid domain. The result of the simulation shows the generation of a shock wave, and the expansion of the bubble. Also, the deformation of the structure due to the hydrodynamic loading by the explosion is identified.

An axisymmetric submerged body(L=5.6m, Diam=0.53m) is installed in Large Cavitation Tunnel (LCT) of KRISO and the nominal and total velocities without and with the propeller in operation, respectively, are measured using Laser Doppler Velocimeter (LDV). The flow field is nearly axisymmetric except the wake of the supporting strut, and is considered ideal to study the hydrodynamic interaction between the propeller and the oncoming axisymmetric sheared flow. The measured velocity data are then provided to compute the propeller-induced velocity to get the effective velocity, which is defined by subtracting the propeller-induced velocity from the total velocity. We adopted, in computing the induced velocity, two different methods including the vortex lattice method and the vortex tube actuator model to evaluate the resultant effective velocity distribution. To secure a fundamental base of experimental data necessary for the research on the effective wake, we measured the drag of the submerged body, the nominal and total velocity distributions at various axial locations for three different tunnel water speeds.

In this paper hydrodynamic lubrication analysis is carried out to investigate the effects of groove location on the lubrication performance of a piston and cylinder system in a linear compressor. The rectangle shaped grooves having a constant groove depth and width are applied on the lubrication area of the piston. The Universal Reynolds equation is used to calculate the oil film pressure, and the Elrod algorithm with the finite different method is used to solve the governing equation. The JFO boundary condition is applied to predict cavitation regions. Transient analysis for different locations of the grooves on the piston is carried out using the typical operating condition of the linear compressor in order to estimate the variations of frictional power losses and minimum film thicknesses. When the grooves are applied on the lubrication area, both the frictional power loss and the minimum film thickness decrease. The frictional power loss can be reduced effectively, while maintaining a minimum film thickness to enable the piston operation without direct contact with the cylinder surface, by means of choosing a proper location of the grooves. The optimum location of the grooves to improve a lubrication performance depends on the operation condition or the system requirements specification.

액체로켓용 터보펌프 인듀서에 대한 수치해석적 연구가 수행되었다. 5,000RPM 및 6,000RPM의 회전속도 조건에서 여러 가지 유량조건에 대하여 수치해석이 수행되었다. 이에 대한 입구유동각, 쉬라우드 표면 정압분포, 수두 및 효율에 대한 분석이 수행되었으며, 실험값과 비교하였다. 쉬라우드 정압의 분포는 실험과 비교하여 잘 일치하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었으나, 입구의 역류가 심한 지역에서는 실험값과 차이를 보였다. 전체성능, 즉, 수두 및 효율은 대체로 실험값과 잘 일치하였지만, 유량계수 0.08이상의 고유량에서 계산값이 실험치에 비하여 낮게 예측하는 것이 확인되었다. 본 연구에 채택된 인듀서의 경우, 유량계수가 0.074일 경우에 수력성능이 최고가 되었으나, 유량계수가 0.085이상에서 입사각이 양의 값을 가지게 되었다. 흡입성능의 측면에서는 입사각이 양의 값을 가지는 것이 권장되므로 설계자는 성능과 흡입성능에서 적절한 유량계수를 선택하여야 할 것이다.

본 논문은 선박용 프로펠러 날개단면의 개발 과정을 다루고 있다. 2차원 날개단면의 유체역학적 특성은 캠버 및 두께 분포, 앞날 반경 등 기하학적 형상에 따라 달라진다. 2차원 날개단면 주위의 전 유장을 난류로 고려한 후 해석하기 위해 유한 체적법에 의한 Reynoles time averaged Navier-Stockes 방정식을 이용한 수치해석 기법을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서는 날개단aus 표면에 보다 많은 계산점을 주면서도 받음각의 변화에도 격자계 생성이 용이한 O-Type 격자계를 채택하였고, 전 유동장은 k-${\varepsilon}$ 난류 모형을 적용하여 해석하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 수치해석 기법은 NACA0012의 실험 결과와 비교하여 계산 정도를 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 낮은 항력을 갖는 고효율 날개단면 개발을 목표로, 항력이 양호한 날개단면은 공동 터널에서 양력, 항력 및 공동 특성 실험을 수행하였으며, 수치 해석 결과와도 비교하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 개발된 2차원 날개단면 해석용 수치 유체역학 코드는 실험 결과와 잘 일치하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 과정을 통하여 기존의의 날개단면인 NACA66 두께 분포와 a=0.8 mean line 캠버를 갖는 KH13보다 효율뿐만 아니라 공동 특성도 우수한 단면인 KH28을 개발할 수 있었다. 새로운 날개 단면인 KH28은 선박용 프로펠러에 적용하기 위한 연구가 지속되어야 하며, 한편 낮은 받음각에서 양-항력 추정의 정확도를 높이기 위해서는 개발된 수치해석 코드에 2-경계층 모형이 적용되어야 할 것으로 본다.

Many researchers have been trying to improve the propulsion efficiency of a propeller. In this study, the numerical analysis is carried out for the POW(Propeller Open Water test) performance of a propeller equipped with an energy saving device called PHVC(Propeller Hub Vortex Control). PHVC is aimed to control the propeller hub vortex behind the propeller so that the rotational kinetic energy loss can be reduced. The unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes(URANS) equations are assumed as the governing flow equations and are solved by using a commercial CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) software, where SST k-ω model is selected for turbulence closure. The computed characteristic values, thrust, torque and propulsion efficiency coefficients for the target propeller with and without PHVC and the local flows in the propeller wake region are validated by the model test results of KRISO LCT(Large Cavitation Tunnel). It is concluded from the present numerical results that CFD can be a good promising method in the assessment of the hydrodynamic performance of PHVC in the design stage.

The blade root fillets which have strong influences on the performance of propellers in the both structural and hydrodynamic points of view, are mechanical parts for smooth connection surface with a blade and a hub. A few related researches (Sabol, 1983; Kennedy, 1997) have noted that 3T-T/3 double radius section design would be suitable for reducing Stress Concentration Factor(SCF) and increasing Cavitation Inception Speed(CIS). In this paper, it is confirmed that this compound cross-section design has come close to the optimum solution in the shape optimization standpoint so that it could protect the propeller blade under the frequent and various loading cases. On that basis, we suggest the definite and simple fillet design methodology that has the cross-section with nT-T/n compound radius and elliptic shape which could sustain the given derivatives information as well as the offsets at the boundary and all inner region of the fillet surface. In addition, the result of design is presented in form of IGES file format in order to connect with NC machine seamlessly.

According to the trends of construction of large size vessel with high power, the natural frequencies of the bending modes of propeller blades have been lower than the past. Therefore, it is expected that the noise and vibration problems of the marine propeller are frequently occurred. As main issue of the propeller noise and vibration problem, the cavitation noise and singing noise due to the flow induced excitation of the bending modes of propeller blade in the high frequency range has been studied by the hydrodynamic researchers in the view point of the excitation force reduction. In this paper, the vibration mode characteristics of propeller with a large diameter in very large vessel are investigated by the vibration analysis of the finite element method using MSC/Nastran and the vibration measurement by the impact test on the propeller blade. According to the results, the natural frequencies of various blade bending modes in water entrained condition could be estimated from the natural frequencies taken by the measurement and free vibration analysis in the dry condition, and it could be estimated how the high frequency noise such as singing is generated from the blade bending modes.
