In this paper, a numerical analysis technique using a body force model is investigated to estimate the available net thrust of multi-pod-driven ice-breaking vessels under bollard pull and overload conditions. To employ the body force model in present flow simulations, drag and thrust components acting on the pod unit are calculated by using Propeller Open Water (POW) test data. The available net thrusts according to the direction of operation are evaluated in both bollard pull and overload conditions under deep water. The simulation results are compared with the model test data. The available net thrusts, calculated by the present analysis for ahead operating modes at 3~6 knots which are typical speeds of the target vessel in arctic field, are agreed well with the model test results. It is also found that the present result for astern operating mode appears approximately 6 % larger than the model test result. In addition, the available net thrusts are calculated under the both operating conditions accompanied by shallow water effects, and the main cause of the difference is studied. Based on the result of the present study, it is confirmed that the body force model can be applied to the performance evaluation of multi-pod propulsion system and the main engine selection in early design stage of the vessel.

RANS 방정식의 수치해법을 사용해서 tractor와 pusher 방식의 포드 프로펠러 주위 점성유동을 계산함으로써 포드형 전동 추진기의 추진 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 본 연구에 사용한 수치해석 방법을 검증하기 위하여 최근 국내에서 모형 실험이 수행된 포드 프로펠러 형상에 대해 수치계산을 수행하고, 계산으로부터 얻어진 tractor와 pusher 방식의 포드 프로펠러에 대한 단독 성능을 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 또한, 포드에 작용하는 압력 및 프로펠러 날개 주위의 유동을 분석함으로써, 포드가 프로펠러의 추진 성능에 미치는 영향과 tractor와 pusher 추진 방식의 특성을 살펴보았다.

A waterjet propulsion system has many advantages compared with a conventional screw propeller especially for amphibious armored wheeled vehicles because of a good maneuverability at low speed, good operation ability at shallow water, high thrust at low speed to aid maneuverability and exit from water, etc. The POD type waterjet is adequate for the present wheeled vehicle because the weight is lighter and L/B is longer than the conventional armored amphibious vehicle. Resistance and self-propulsion tests with a 1/3.5-scale model are conducted at PNU towing tank. Based on these measurements, the performance is analyzed according to ITTC 96 standard analysis method and also according to the conventional propulsive factor analysis method. Based on these two methods, the full-scale effective and delivered powers of amphibious armored wheeled vehicle are estimated. This paper emphasizes the analysis method of model test of the waterjet propulsion system for a amphibious armored wheeled vehicle and the model test technique together with the comparison of the two analysis methods.

The aim of study is to develop a dual driven ship berthing/deberthing system with $360^{\circ}$ steerability. A large ship used bow thruster, side thruster and pod propulsor etc. when approaching to a pier. But as marine leisure boats become large-scaled, the number of accidents is recently increasing what caused a ship to crash into a ship and a ship to crash into mooring facilities during berthing/deberthing on a marina. To solve the problem, the control responsiveness of a joystick connected with two motors and a propeller was checked and torque was increased by the electromagnetic design of magnetic gear. A sea trial test was carried out to investigate a performance of the developed system in the real sea.
