In this study, hydrodynamic coefficients were obtained from a Rotating Arm (RA) test, which is one of the captive model tests used to provide accurate coefficients in the control motion equation of an underwater vehicle. The RA test was carried out at the RA facility of ADD (Agency for Defense Development), and the forces and moments acting on the underwater vehicle were measured using a six-axis waterproof gage. A multiple regression analysis was used in the analysis of the measured data. The experimental results were also verified by comparison with the theoretical values of the previous linear coefficients. In addition, the stability indices in the horizontal plane were calculated using the linear and nonlinear coefficients, and the dynamic stability of the underwater vehicle was estimated to have a good dynamic performance with a depth ratio of 6.0.

최근 해저 자원 개발 또는 생산 활동에 따른 수중작업의 수요 증대와 수중 유도무기체계 개발의 일환으로 다양한 형태의 수중운동체 기술이 발전되고 있다. 또한, 해양에 존재하는 광물 자원의 탐사 및 채취, 수중탐사 및 작업, 해양 방위력의 증강 등은 수중운동체의 개발 필요성을 더욱 증가시키고 있으며, 이에 따라 수중운동체에 대한 연구가 활발하게 수행되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 수중운동체의 강제선회시험을 이용하여 유체력 미계수를 획득하고 이를 통해 수중운동체의 수평면 안정성을 평가 해 보았다.

본 논문에서는 수중운동체 중 하나인 잠수함의 코닝타워(Conning tower) 위치 및 제어판 형태에 따라 4가지 타입별로 나누어 회전팔 시험(Rotating arm test)을 실시하였다. 또한 본 RA 시험을 통하여 유체력 미계수를 추정하였으며 수평면 운동에 대한 동적 안정성(Dynamic stability)을 평가하였다. 특히, 자유수면의 영향으로부터 자유로운 심도비(Depth ratio) 6.0에서 힘과 모멘트를 측정한 후, 다중회귀분석을 이용하여 유체력 미계수를 추정하였다. 최종적으로 선형유체력 미계수를 이용한 수평면 동적 안정성 지수를 산정함으로써 잠수함 타입별 특성이 동적 안정성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

Ship's maneuverability is very important factor in safe ship handling and economical ship operation. Steering characteristics are consisted of course stability and maneuverability. Today in many advanced ship-building countries, they study ship's course stability, using model ship tests, such as straight line tests, rotating arm tests and Planar Motion Mechanism (PMM) etc., in tow in tanks. It is the purpose of this paper to provide ship's handlers with better understanding of steering characteristics and to help them in safe controlling and manevering . In this paper, the author simulated response of various vessels, running straight course with constant speed, and they are disturbed by small external disturbance of one degree yaw angle with no angular velocity . The author used the hydrodynamic derivtives resulted at tests of Davidson's laboratory in Stevens Institute of Technology, New Jersey, U.S.A. Course stability was evaluated and analyzed in various respects, such as block coefficient, ratio of ship's length to beam, draft and rudder area ratio etc. The obtained results are as follows : (1) The ship's course stability is affected by magnitude of block coefficient greatly. In case that the block coefficient is more than 0.7, the deviation varies at nearly same rate but the requistite time to reach the steady course is different. (2) The ship's course stability is affected by magnitude of L/B. When the dimensionless time reaches about 3, the deviation and requisite time to reach the steady course are influenced nearly same. After the dimensionless time is about 3, they change on invariable ratio. (3) The effect to course stability by L/T and RA' can be neglected. (4) The reason why thy VLCC and container feeder vessel are unstable on their course is that their block coefficient is generally more than 0.8 and the ratio of ship's length to beam is about 6.0.

We used a numerical method to estimate the hydrodynamic maneuvering derivatives for the heave-pitch coupling motion of an underwater glider. It is very important to assess the hydrodynamic maneuvering characteristics of a specific hull form of an underwater glider in the initial design stages. Although model tests are the best way to obtain the derivatives, numerical methods such as the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) method are used to save time and cost. The RANS method is widely used to estimate the maneuvering performance of surface-piercing marine vehicles, such as tankers and container ships. However, it is rarely applied to evaluate the maneuvering performance of underwater vehicles such as gliders. This paper presents numerical studies for typical experiments such as static drift and Planar Motion Mechanism (PMM) to estimate the hydrodynamic maneuvering derivatives for a Ray-type Underwater Glider (RUG). A validation study was first performed on a manta-type Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV), and the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) results were compared with a model test that was conducted at the Circular Water Channel (CWC) in Korea Maritime and Ocean University. Two different RANS solvers were used (Star-CCM+ and OpenFOAM), and the results were compared. The RUG's derivatives with both static drift and dynamic PMM (pure heave and pure pitch) are presented.
