The velocity and pressure fields of a ship's propulsion mechanism of Weis-Fogh type are studied by advanced vortex method. The wing of NACA0010 type and the channel are approximated by a finite of source and vortex panels, and the free vortices are introduced from the surface of their bodies. The viscous diffusion of fluid is represented by the core-spreading method. The velocity field is calculated on the basis of Biot-Savart law and the pressure field is calculated from the integration equation formulated by Uhlman. The flow fields of this propulsion mechanism are unsteady and complex, but the flow fields are clarified by numerical simulation.

Reduction of labor hour for cleaning up of the used abrasives after blasting. is attempted by improving the efficiency of abrasive recovery process in the protective coating of ship's block, For this purpose, the theoretical background for pneumatic transport technology in the abrasive recovery system as well as experimental evaluation on the effect of design parameters such as flow pattern, saltation velocity and pressure drop on the efficiency of the abrasive recovery system are employed . By optimizing the operating parameters such as the length and diameter of the suction hose, specification of recovery device and recovery mouth, a new method which can dramatically increase the efficiency of abrasive recovery system, is proposed.

A new transfer alignment algorithm using the velocity and the quaternion partial matching methods is proposed to reduce the effect of a ship's Y-axis flexure on the performance of azimuth error estimation of Kalman filter. The simulation results show that it can significantly reduce the effect of Y-axis flexure on error estimation by the transfer alignment algorithm. As its results, azimuth transfer alignment error is reached up to 3 mrad under proper roll and pitch attitude motion of the ship.

The issues associated with the application of CFD for ship design are addressed. Doubtlessly at the moment, CFD tools are very useful in evaluating hull forms prior to traditional towing tank tests. However, time-consuming pre-processing is an obstacle in the daily application of CFD tools to improve hull forms. The accuracy of computational modeling without sacrificing the usability of CFD system is also to be assessed. The wave generation is still predicted by using potential panel methods, while velocity profiles entering into propeller plane is solved using turbulent flow solvers. The choice of turbulence model is a key to predict nominal wake distribution within acceptable accuracy. The experimental data for CFD validation are invaluable to improve physical and numerical modeling. Other applications of CFD for ship design than hull form improvement are also given. It is certain that CFD can be a cost-effective tool for the design of new and better ships.

This paper deals with the transfer alignment problem of SDINS(StrapDown Inertial Navigation System) subjected to roll and pitch motions of the ship. Specifically, to reduce alignment errors induced by measurement time-delay and ship body flexure, an error compensation method is suggested based on delay state augmentation and DCM(Direction Cosine Matrix) partial matching. A linearized error model for the velocity and attitude matching transfer alignment system is first derived by linearizing the nonlinear measurement equation with respect to its time delay and augmenting the delay state into the conventional linear state equations. And then DCM partial matching is properly combined to reduce effects of a ship's Y axis flexure. The simulation results show that the suggested method is effective enough resulting in considerably less azimuth alignment errors.

Wave breaking phenomenon near the fore body of a ship is numerically simulated. The ship advance with uniform velocity in calm water. For the simulation, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and continuity equation are adopted as governing equations. The simulation is carried out in staggered variable mesh system with finite difference method. Marker and Cell(MAC) method and Marker-Density method are employed to track the free surface. Body boundary conditions are satisfied with the adoption of porosity method and no-slip condition on the hull surface. The ship model has a wedge type fore-body, and the computational domain is an appropriate region around the fore-body. The computation results are compared with some experimental results. Also the difference of the free surface tracking methods are discussed.

A numerical simulation method has been under development for solving turbulent flows around a ship model in maneuvering motion using the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The method used second-order finite differences, collocated grids, pressure-Poisson equation and four-stage Runge-Kutta scheme as key components of the solution method. A modified Baldwin-Lomax model is used for the turbulence closure. This paper presents a preliminary result of the computational study on turbulent flows past a ship model in drift motion. Calculations are carried out for a Series 60 $C_B=0.6$ ship model, for which detailed experimental data are available. The results of the present calculations are compared with the experimental data for hydrodynamic forces acting on the model as well as velocity distributions at longitudinal sections. Only fair agreements has been achieved. The computational results show the complex asymmetrical shear flow patterns including three-dimensional separations followed by formation of bilge vortices both in bow and stern regions.

This paper is mainly concerned with the assessment of safe navigation between ships moving each other in restricted waterways. The manoeuvring simulation was conducted parametrically to propose an appropriate sage speed and distance, which is required to avoid sea accident under the different conditions, such as ship-velocity ratios, ship-length ratios, separation and stagger between ships. The manoeuvring characteristics based on this investigation will be very useful for keeping the safety of navigation from the practical point of ships design and traffic control in confined water.

Questionnaire survey on performance requirement of ship’s speed such as not only accuracy but also response and robustness were carried out, and the experiments to survey the GPS performances of static and dynamic characteristics were carried out simultaneously. In this paper, the questionnaire survey focusing on docking maneuvering, some analytic results of the survey, the results of GPS performance, and the possibility of adaptation for docking maneuvering on SDME and GPS are discussed. Consequently, from the results of questionnaire survey the performance requirement of ship’s speed in docking/anchoring maneuvering have need under 1cm/sec on the standard deviation, and speed information from GPS was adopted to use maneuvering information in docking/anchoring.
