A hull form is 181K DWT Bulk Carrier, of which new design and hull form have been developed using CFD tools and model tests. The basic concept design of hull form has been carried out with considering the factors, which are a lot of influence of the wave and viscosity resistance. The considered factors of particular are LCB, DLWL shape, tern and stem profile, Cp-curve shape, etc. Numerical calculations are carried out in the initial design stage and experimental model tests are also carried out in towing tank of MOERI. The variation of the significantly effective characteristics is carried out to achieve optimized hull form. The results from numerical calculations and model test as well as the design procedures to obtain an optimized hull form resent in this paper.

Aluminum alloy is one of light weight material and it is used to make LNG tank and ship. However, in order to weld aluminum alloy high density heat source is needed. In this paper, I-butt welding of Al 5083 with 6mm thickness using Plasma-MIG welding was carried out. The experiment was performed to investigate the influence of plasma-MIG welding parameters such as plasma current, wire feeding rate, MIG-welding voltage and welding speed on the tensile strength of weld. In addition we suggested 3 strength estimation models which are second order polynomial regression model, multiple nonlinear regression model and neural network model. The estimation performance of 3 models was evaluated in terms of average error rate (AER) and their values were 0.125, 0.238, and 0.021 respectively. Neural network model which has training concept and reflects non -linearity was best estimation performance.

This research describes a framework to compare and analyze the icebreaker(Terry Fox) resistance in pack ice condition between with a refrigerated ice and a synthetic ice. Model tests with a refrigerated ice have been conducted at Institute for Ocean Technology (IOT/NRC) and the tests with a synthetic ice were conducted at Pusan National University towing tank. For the validation of further tests of measurement and accuracy, the open water tests were first carried out with same model ship to compare the test results of both Institutes. Two different size of the wax-type synthetic ice were used and tests were conducted in pack ice of three different concentration ice conditions. The test results show that the difference of resistance between with synthetic and with refrigerated ice becomes larger according to the increase of ship speed. Although the quantity of resistance difference is not so small in high speed range, the present study is predicted to be used as a useful correlation between synthetic and refrigerated ice.

The seakeeping and resistance tests of a 47.7m class catamaran are conducted in a towing tank with the 1/21.5 scale model. The effect of the trim tab on the resistance is investigated with the trim tab angle variations and the resistance and trim angle of the catamaran with the trim tab are compared with those without the trim tab. The heave and pitch motions are measured at the three full scale speeds in sea state of 3.4 and 5 and the vertical accelerations at five points on the deck are also measured. The measured accelerations are compared with the criteria of ISO 2631/3 and it is shown that the seakeeping performance of the catamaran is good.

This paper presents the analysis of resistance performance and bow waves for the resistance-minimized hull form of small fishing boat by using numerical simulations and model tests. The resistance-minimized hull form is developed from an original hull form which is selected from existing small fisher boats in our country. In order to estimate the resistance performance for the original and the developed hull form, several numerical simulations and model tests are carried out. Marker and Cell(MAC) method and Marker-Density method are adopted to simulate the free-surface bow waves around advancing hull surface. The results of numerical simulations are compared with the model tests in towing tank. The results show that the resistance performance of the resistance-minimized hull form is improved than that of the original hull form. The results of this study will be a good guide to the hull form development of small fishing boats in future.

The layer that is directly influenced by ground surface is called the atmospheric boutsdary layer in comparison with the free atmosphere of higher layer. In the boundary layer, the changes of wind, temperature and coefficient of turbulent diffusion in altitude are large and have great influences an atmospheric diffusion. The purpose of this paper is to express the structure and characteristics of development of mixed layer by using laboratory experiment and numerical simulation. Laboratory experiment using water tank are performed that closely simulate the process of break up of nocturnal surface inversion above heated surface and its phenomena are analyzed by the use of horizontally averaged temperature which is observed. The result obtained from the laboratory experiment is compared with theoretical ones from ; \textsc{k}-\varepsilon numerical model. The results are summarized as follows. 1) The horizontally averaged temperature was found to vary smoothly with height and the mixed layer developed obviously being affected by the convection. 2) The mean height of mixed layer may be predicted as a function of time, knowing the mean initial temperature gradient. The experimental values are associated well with the theoretical values computed for value of the universal constant $C_r$= 0.16, our $C_r$ value is little smaller than the value found by Townsend and Deardoru et al.

Many artificial steel reefs are being built in Japan, however, in Korea, only few steel reefs were manufactured by POSCO, recently. In order to develop their novel types suitable for marine environments near the Korean Peninsula, it is very important to carry out model tests in the initial design stage. In the Ocean Engineering Wide Tank($L{\times}B{\times}D=30{\times}20{\times}2.5m$) and the Circulating Water Channel of the University of Ulsan, Korea, fluid drag forces acting on models of steel reefs with different sizes are measured in waves and currents. Also numerical predictions based on the Wavier-Stokes equation are made and compared with experimental results.

In this study, propeller open water characteristics ($K_P$, $K_T$ and ${\eta}_o$) were compared for three different ducted propellers using a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis, as well as an experimental test at a basin. The best shape of the duct was selected from the three types of specially designed ducts based on the CFD analysis results. The same propeller model (Kaplan type propeller) was used inside all three duct models, and the propeller open water characteristics were compared, predominantly at the design speed for an underwater vehicle. Finally, the results of the CFD test simulations for the selected duct case were verified by experimental open water tests in a towing tank.

Recently, the offshore plant has been revived by rise in oil prices and energy consumption. Due to the external environmental impact, the ballast system is essential for an offshore plant. The ballast system for the existing offshore plant, consist of pump 6EA and Ballast tank 4EA, is performed by the tilt control. However, this system is vulnerable to a failure due to the fact that a lot of equipment needs to be installed within the system. In this paper, a new concept of ballast system and the control algorithm based on IT is proposed. Simulator has been created to test the proposed system and algorithm, and as a result, it has proven that it is controlled stably.

우리나라는 강우량의 계절적 편기가 심하여 홍수기인 6월부터 9월까지의 년간 총강우량이 2/3을 차지하고 있으며 갈수기의 경우에는 강우량의 부족으로 물 부족현상을 겪고 있다. 이와 같은 현상은 최근 기후변화로 인해 더욱 증가되고 있으며 홍수기에도 국지적인 강우발생이 크게 증가하여 갈수기 가뭄이 더욱 심화되고 있다. 이와 같이 갈수시 가뭄에 대한 대책을 세우기 위해서는 하천에 유입되는 물과 하천 내에서 시간에 따라 유하되거나 조절되는 등 하천 자체 내에서 변화하는 하천유량의 변화 및 하천 외부로 유출되는 용수수요량을 정확히 분석하는 물수지분석이 필요하다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 송강천을 대상유역으로 선정하고 DEM을 통해 3개의 단위유역을 구분하였다. 단위유역별 생활용수, 공업용수, 농업용수 등에 대한 용수수요량 추정을 통해 유역별 용수수요 총량과 장래 수요증가량을 산정하였다. TANK 모형을 활용하여 단위유역별 기준갈수량을 산정하고 물수지분석을 통해 물 부족 여부를 판단하여 단위유역별 하천유지유량을 산정하였다. 분석결과, 단위유역별 하천으로 유입되는 회귀수량이 많아 목표연도별 갈수시 하천유지유량이 평균갈 수량 보다 크게 분석되었으며, 평균갈수시에도 하천의 정상적인 기능 및 상태를 유지하기 위한 최소한의 유량 확보가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
