This paper employs computational tools to predict power increase (or speed loss) and propulsion performances in waves of KVLCC2. Two-phase unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations have been solved using finite volume method; and a realizable k-ε model has been applied for the turbulent closure. The free-surface is obtained by solving a VOF equation. Sliding mesh method is applied to simulate the flow around an operating propeller. Towing and self-propulsion computations in calm water are carried out to obtain the towing force, propeller rotating speed, thrust and torque at the self-propulsion point. Towing computations in waves are performed to obtain the added resistance. The regular short head waves of λ/LPP = 0.6 with 4 wave steepness of H/λ = 0.007, 0.017, 0.023 and 0.033 are taken into account. Four methods to predict speed-power relationship in waves are discussed; Taylor expansion, direct powering, load variation, resistance and thrust identity methods. In the load variation method, the revised ITTC-78 method based on the 'thrust identity' is utilized to predict propulsive performances in full scale. The propulsion performances in waves including propeller rotating speed, thrust, torque, thrust deduction and wake fraction, propeller advance coefficient, hull, propeller open water, relative rotative and propulsive efficiencies, and delivered power are investigated.

This paper employs computational tools to investigate the diffraction effects in regular head waves on the added resistance and wake on the propeller plane. The objective ships are a 66,000 DWT bulk carrier and a 3,600 TEU container ship. Fixed and free to heave and pitch conditions at design speed have been taken into account. Two-phase unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations have been solved using the finite volume method; and a realizable k-ε model has been applied for the turbulent closure. The free surface is obtained by solving a VOF equation. The computations are carried out at the same scale of the model tests. Grid and numerical wave damping zones are applied to remove unwanted wave reflection at the boundaries. The computational results are analyzed using the Fourier series. The added resistances in waves at the free condition are higher than those at the fixed condition, which are nearly constant for all wavelengths. The wake velocity in waves is higher than that in calm water, and is accelerated where the wave crest locates on the propeller plane. When the vertical motion at the stern goes upward, the wake velocity also accelerated.

Simulation of flow past a complex marine structure requires a fine resolution in the vicinity of the structure, whereas a coarse resolution is enough far away from it. Therefore, a lot of grid cells may be wasted, when a simple Cartesian grid system is used for an Immersed Boundary Method (IBM). To alleviate this problems while maintaining the Cartesian frame work, we adopted an Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) scheme where the grid system dynamically and locally refines as needed. In this study, We implemented a moving IBM and an AMR technique in our basic 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes solver. A Volume Of Fluid (VOF) method was used to effectively treat the free surface, and a recently developed Lagrangian Dynamic Subgrid-scale Model (LDSM) was incorporated in the code for accurate turbulence modeling. To capture vortex induced vibration accurately, the equation for the structure movement and the governing equations for fluid flow were solved at the same time implicitly. Also, We have developed an interface by using AutoLISP, which can properly distribute marker particles for IBM, compute the geometrical information of the object, and transfer it to the solver for the main simulation. To verify our numerical methodology, our results were compared with other authors' numerical and experimental results for the benchmark problems, revealing excellent agreement. Using the verified code, we investigated the following cases. (1) simulating flow around a floating sphere. (2) simulating flow past a marine structure.

A RANS(Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes) based numerical method is developed for the evaluation of ship resistance and self-propulsion performances. In the usability aspect of CFD for the hull form design, the field grid around practical hull forms is generated by solving a grid Poisson equation based on the hull surface grid generated from station offsets and centerline profile. A body force technique is introduced to model the effects of the propeller in which the propeller loads are obtained from potential flow analysis using an unsteady lifting surface method. The free surface is captured by using a two-phase level-set method and the realizable $k-{\varepsilon}$ model is used for turbulence closure. The hull attitude in vertical plane, i.e., trim and sinkage, is calculated by using a quasi-steady method and then considered in the computation by translating and rotating the grid system according to the values. For the validation of the proposed method, the numerical results of resistance tests for KCS, KLNG, and KVLCC1 and of self-propulsion test for KCS are compared with experimental data.

This article examines hydrodynamic characteristics and speed performances of a ship attached with a full spade and a twisted rudder based on a computational method. For this study, a 13,100 TEU container carrier is selected. The turbulent flows around a ship are analyzed by solving the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation together with the application of Reynolds stress turbulence model. The computations are carried out at the conditions of rudder, bare hull, hull-rudder and hull-propeller-rudder. An asymmetric body-force propeller is applied. The speed performance is predicted by the model-ship performance analysis method of the revised ITTC'78 method. The hydrodynamic forces are compared in both rudder-open-water and self-propulsion conditions. The flow characteristics, the speed performance including propulsion factors and the rudder-cavitation performance are also compared. The model tests are conducted at a deep-water towing tank to validate the computational predictions. The computational predictions show that the twisted rudder is superior to the full spade rudder in the respect of the speed and the cavitation performances.

하천에서, 생물막은 녹갈색의 얇은 막의 형태로 돌, 식물, 그리고 기타 구조물의 표면에 부착되어 있다. 생물막은 주로 영양물의 순환, 수질정화, 바닥 침전물 제거, 그리고 먹이사슬내의 에너지 흐름에 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서, 우리는 유체 흐름 안에서, 독소-생산 종과 독소-민감 종의 복합적 생물막을 전산 모사하는 모델을 개발하였다. 유체 흐름으로는 균일한 흐름과 불 균일한 흐름 두 가지를 고려하였다. 균일한 흐름은 확률 프로세스로 구현되었으며, 불 균일한 흐름은 나비어-스톡스 방정식으로 구현되었다. 모델에서, 독소-생산종과 독소-민감종 간의 상호작용을 고려하기 위해, 종 개체의 번식률과 사망률이 고려되어졌다. 우리는 서로 다른 두 유체 흐름 내에서 전산 모사 되어진 생물막의 구조적 형상에 대해서 간략히 논의 하였다.

지면효과를 받는 2차원 날개 주위의 난류유동을 비압축성 RANS(Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes) 방정식과 유한차분법(Finite Difference Method)을 이용하여 해석하였다. 높은 레이놀즈수에 효과적인 Baldwin-Lomax 난류모델을 사용하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 지면효과를 받는 2차원 날개단면에서의 각기 다른 두 바닥 경계조건(이동지면, 고정지면)에 따른 유동의 특성을 파악하는 것이다. Clark-Y(t/C 11.7%)날개단면의 계산 결과와 발표된 계산결과 및 실험 값과의 비교를 통해 본 수치해석 프로그램의 정확성을 검증하였다. NACA4412 날개단면에 대해 지면과의 높이변화에 대해서 두 바닥 경계조건에 대해서 유동해석을 수행하였다 계산결과에 의하면 이동지면과 고정지면에 대해서 양력과 모멘트는 별 차이가 없으나 항력은 고정지면의 경우가 이동지면의 경우보다 다소 작았다. 따라서 풍동시험에서 고정지면의 결과는 이동지면에 비해 상대적으로 저항이 낮게 평가될 가능성이 있다고 본다.

This paper aims to develop a submerged propeller turbine for micro hydropower plant which allows to sustain high values of efficiency in a broad range of hydrological conditions (H=2~6 m, $Q=0.15{\sim}0.39m^3/s$). The two aspects to be considered in this development are mechanical simplicity and high-efficiency operation. Unlike conventional turbines that have spiral casing and gear box, this is directing driving and no spiral casing. A 10 kW class turbine which has the most high potential of the power generation has been developed. The most important element in the design of turbine is the runner blade. The initial blade is designed using inverse design method and then the runner geometry is modified by classical hydraulic method. The design process is carried out in two steps. First, the blade shape is fix and then other components of submerged propeller turbine are designed. Computational fluid dynamics analyses based on the Navier-Stokes equations have been used to obtain overall performance data for the blade and the full turbine, respectively. The results generated by performance parameters(head, guide vane opening angle and rotational speed) variations are theoretically analysed. The evaluation criteria for the blade and the turbine performances are the pressure distribution and flow's behavior on the runner blades and turbine. The results of simulation reveals an efficiency of 91.5% and power generation of 10.5kW at the best efficiency point at the head of 4m and a discharge of $0.3m^3/s$.

Although a rubber isolation cushion can reduce the dynamic response of a structure itself, it has little influence on the height of a sloshing wave and even may induce magnification action. Vertical baffles are set into a base-isolated Concrete Rectangular Liquid Storage Structure (CRLSS), and baffles are opened as holes to increase the energy dissipation of the damping. Problems of liquid nonlinear motion caused by baffles are described using the Navier-Stokes equation, and the space model of CRLSS is established considering the Fluid-Solid Interaction (FSI) based on the Finite Element Method (FEM). The dynamic response of an isolated CRLSS with various baffles under an earthquake is analyzed, and the results are compared. The results show that when the baffle number is certain, the greater the number of holes in baffles, the worse the damping effects; when a single baffle with holes is set in juxtaposition and double baffles with holes are formed, although some of the dynamic response will slightly increase, the wallboard strain and the height of the sloshing wave evidently decrease. A configuration with fewer holes in the baffles and a greater number of baffles is more helpful to prevent the occurrence of two failure modes: wallboard leakage and excessive sloshing height.

본 연구는 이상적인 원형 환(Ideal Circular Ring) 스텐트와 Intertwined 스텐트의 삽입에 의해 야기 되는 혈류유동 형태와 스텐트 표면에서 방출되는 약물의 농도분포를 조사하는 것이다. 본 연구를 통해 Intertwined 스텐트의 스텐트 사이 영역에서 약물농도는 원형 환 스텐트에 비해 더 많이 분포해 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 주어진 스텐트의 형상에 대하여 스텐트 사이 영역에서의 국소적인 약물 농도분포는 레이놀즈 수가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 주어진 레이놀즈 수에 대하여는 약물 농도분포는 스텐트의 형상과는 비교적 무관함을 알 수 있다. 원형 환 스텐트보다 Intertwined스텐트가 스텐트사이 영역과 스텐트 하류영역에서혈관 벽면을 따른 약물 농도분포는 크게 나타나는 것을 볼 수 있다.
