The objective of this paper is to suggest a new method of a wind turbine performance test. The performance test of a wind turbine is generally carried out in a wind tunnel. The test needs not only a high-accuracy measuring system but also durable structure to withstand high speed turbine rotation and wind flow. Therefore, we tried turbine performance test using a towing tank to improve stability and reliability. Because a turbine rotates more slowly and generates more torque in the water than in the wind tunnel under similarity conditions. In this study, we developed turbine performance test systems and verified the turbine test method using a towing tank through comparing results of the wind tunnel and the towing tank test.

The resistance test of a high speed craft such as planing ship is performed with a high speed towing carriage instead of ordinary towing carriage because of the speed limitation. In the resistance test using high speed towing carriage, the model ship is fixed to the carriage to restrain the running attitude for enough measuring time. Such method is called fixed model test method. In the fixed model test method, to get the appropriate running attitude, the model test is iteratively repeated until the trim moment and lift force are close to zero. In this research, trim free model test method is investigated to reduce the number of iteration. And, the limitation of towing speed range in the trim free model test method is investigated.

Purpose: This research is to develop Trailer Durability Test of towing device, in order to cover usage conditions of bike type as well as general type trailer. With the diversification of leisure activities, the population that enjoys various sports and leisure has increased rapidly, and the number of vehicles equipped with camping trailers and bike carriers is also increasing steadily. The purpose of this study is to develop a durable vehicle that has no problem in various customer conditions. Methods: We measured the input load under various conditions of the user by attaching load cell to the body fixing part and towing ball of the towing device. The load in various modes was measured, and the difference between the trailer and the bike carrier type was compared and analyzed. Results: Due to the difference in fixing method and weight between the two types, the trailer has a large longitudinal force and the bike type has a large vertical force. Therefore, it is necessary to durability test method capable of satisfying all longitudinal force and vertical force. Conclusion: We improved the durability test of the towing device by changing the test surface. The new mode has made it possible to shorten the durability test schedule by increasing test efficiency.

수중 표적의 탐지 효율을 증대시키기 위하여 능동 예인 음탐기는 적정 심도에서 바른 자세로 예인 되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 능동 예인 음탐기의 꼬리 날개 형상이 예인 자세 및 예인 안정성에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 축소 모형 실험 2회 및 해상 실험 1회를 수행하고 그 결과를 분석하였다. 축소 모형 실험은 선형 수조에서 꼬리 날개 형상에 따른 속력 별 예인 거동을 측정하였으며, 축소 모형 실험에 활용된 꼬리 날개 형상은 I 형 꼬리 날개 1개와 Y 형 꼬리 날개 4개로 총 2종 5개에 대하여 실험을 수행하였다. 1차 축소 모형 실험에서는 Y형 꼬리 날개가 I 형 꼬리 날개 대비 예인 자세 및 예인 안정성이 우수함을 확인하였다. 2차 축소 모형 실험에서는 Y형 꼬리 날개를 기본으로 수직 꼬리 날개 높이 증가, 하부 수평 꼬리 날개 경사각 적용 형상에 대하여 속력 별 거동 특성을 확인하였으며, 하부 수평 꼬리 날개 경사각 적용 형상이 가장 우수한 성능을 나타내었다. 축소 모형 실험 결과를 검증하기 위해 실물 모형을 제작하여 해상 실험을 수행하였으며, 축소 모형 실험 결과와 유사함을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 대형 케이슨의 단독 예인 조건에서의 예인 안정성을 해석하기 위한 모형시험 시스템을 개발하였다. 그리고 이를 이용해 9,300톤급 케이슨의 단독 예인 중 안정성을 추정하는데 활용하였다. 케이슨이나 다른 부유체의 예인 안정성 평가를 위한 일반적인 모형시험 시스템에서는 일정한 예인 속도로 모형을 예인하는데 반해, 제안된 예인 시스템은 예인삭에 일정한 예인력을 제공하도록 설계되었다. 실제 예인 조건에서는 예인선에 의해 대상 물체가 일정한 동력으로 예인되기 때문에, 일정한 장력이 가해지는 새 모형 시험 시스템을 이용하여 예인 조건을 실제와 더 유사하게 모사할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 실험은 예인수조 시설에서 수행되었고, 9,300톤급 대형 케이슨의 1/30 축척비의 모형을 사용하였다. 모형 시험을 통해 케이슨 모형의 6자유도 운동과 예인삭의 장력 변동을 계측하고 해석하였다. 새 시스템을 이용하였을 경우 기존의 실험 시스템의 사용 결과에 비해 모형의 운동과 예인삭 장력이 감소하였다. 흘수와 초기 트림의 변화가 모형 시험에 적용되었으며, 초기 트림의 경우 예인 안정성에 도움이 되는 것으로 나타났다.

Nowadays, consumption of fisheries products is increasing. There are several factors, one of which is a quantitative development through aquaculture. Another factor is an increase qualitative consumption of fish which require that fish be supplied alive. This requires a lot of technical effort to transport the live fish that have low survival rate (c.f. tuna and mackerel) in coastal waters and in the open sea. To develop a towing cage for transporting the live fish, model test in a circulate water channel and simulation by computer tool were carried out. In order to spread vertically, floats were attached at the upper part of the cage, and iron chains attached at the lower part of the cage. For horizontal spreading, kites were attached on the cage. The tension and spreading performance of the cage were measured. The result shows that the tension and reduction ratio of inside volume of the cage were tended to increase with increased towing speeds. The suitable operation condition in towing cage was 1.0 m/s towing speeds with vertical spreading force 8.7 kN, horizontal spreading force 5.6 kN; in this case the reduction ratio of inside volume of the cage was estimated as 25%.

In this paper, the HPMM(Horizontal Planar Motion Mechanism) test is simulated in a numerical towing tank by using a commercial CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) code, FLUENT. The results of calculation are compared with those of static drift test or rotating arm test calculated by CFD to verify the results simulated by CFD. Through comparing pure sway test of HPMM test with static drift test and pure yaw test of HPMM with rotating arm test, it is found that HPMM test can be simulated in the numerical towing tank.

In the conventional experiment to assess the towing operations, the towing stability of the towed vessel has been evaluated under the condition without lateral motion of the tug-boat. However, the tug-boats may have a lateral force to change the direction of the towed vessel. In this study, experiments have been conducted considering unsteady conditions in the towing system. First, a towing test system in a Circular Water Channel (CWC) using the conventional experimental method is built. Second, the towing characteristics of the towed vessel are investigated using the conventional method, and they are compared with other research results and stability discriminant criteria. Third, the lateral motion of the tug-boat was modeled as a sinusoidal motion using a forced oscillation device changing frequency and amplitude. Finally, the discussion is given in terms of both towing- and course-stability of the towed vessel according to the lateral motion of the tug-boat.

A light-weight cantilever type towing carriage was devised and installed in the towing tank at Seoul National University. Wireless measurement devices were also provided for appropriate data acquisition during high-speed towing tests. With the new carriage system, a series of model tests were performed to investigate the hydrodynamic characteristics of the racing boat in the towing tank and the resistance test results had sufficient accuracy so that they could be used in the development of a high speed planning hull.

The present study concerns uncertainty assessment of powering prediction from towing tank model tests, suggested by the International Towing Tank Conference (ITTC). The systematic uncertainty of towing tank tests was estimated by allowance of test setup and measurement accuracy of ITTC. The random uncertainty was varied from 0 to 8% of the measurement. Randomly generated inputs of test conditions and measurement data sets under systematic and random uncertainty are used to statistically analyze resistance and propulsive performance parameters at the full scale. The error propagation through an extrapolation procedure is investigated in terms of the sensitivity and coefficient of determination. By the uncertainty assessment, it is found that the uncertainty of resultant powering prediction was smaller than the test uncertainty.
