The issue of the longitudinal stability of a WIG vehicle has been a very critical design factor since the first experimental WIG vehicle has been built. A series of studies had been performed and focused on the longitudinal stability analysis. However, most studies focused on the longitudinal stability of WIG vehicle in cruise phase, and less is available on the longitudinal static stability requirement of WIG vehicle when hydrodynamics are considered: WIG vehicle usually take off from water. The present work focuses on stability requirement for longitudinal motion from taking off to landing. The model of dynamics for a WIG vehicle was developed taking into account the aerodynamic, hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces, and then was analyzed. Following with the longitudinal static stability analysis, effect of hydrofoil was discussed. Locations of CG, aerodynamic center in pitch, aerodynamic center in height and hydrodynamic center in heave were illustrated for a stabilized WIG vehicle. The present work will further improve the longitudinal static stability theory for WIG vehicle.

지면효과의 여러 현상을 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 이용하여 해석하고 공기역학적인 관점에서 그 결과를 분석하였다. 2차원 지면효과에 대해서는 이미지 와류에 의한 약형 표면의 압력변화, 두께의 영향, 지면효과의 비점성 유동 현상 등을 확인하였으며, 3차원 지면효과로 익단와류 강도의 증가현상과 유효스팬 증가, 익단와류의 바깥 흐름현상 등을 확인하였다. 또한, 재래식 익형인 NACA 6409와 러시아의 WIG기 전용익형인 DHMTU 8-30에 대해서 Irodov의 조건식을 사용하여 새로 정안정성을 해석하였다. 해석결과, DHMTU 8-30 익형의 세로 정안정성이 NACA 6409 익형보다 훨씬 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 DHMTU 8-30을 WIG기에 사용할 경우 NACA 6409에 비해 꼬리날개 부피비를 현저히 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다.

고속 및 고효율의 해양 수송수단에 대한 필요성이 점차 증가되면서 위그선(WIG: Wing in Ground effect)이 차세대 수송수단으로 관심이 집중되고 있다. 이러한 고속 해양 수송선의 구조설계 시 수면에 대한 충격하중은 중요하게 고려되어야 할 하중요소 중의 하나이며 착수하중에 의한 동적거동은 손상을 초래하는 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 위그선 착수 시 수면 충격하중에 대한 수치해석을 통해 선체의 동적거동을 평가하였다. 착수환경에서의 수면충격하중을 ALE (Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian) 유한요소법을 적용하여 해석을 수행하였으며 3차원 쉘요소를 적용한 전기체 모델을 개발하여 위그선의 착수환경에서 선체의 동적거동을 모사하였다. 착수환경은 정상 착수조건과 측풍에 의한 비정상 착수조건 두 가지를 고려하여 해석을 수행하였으며 이러한 착수환경이 위그선 구조의 정적 구조 안정성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다

Previously study on structural design of the main wing of the twenty-seat class WIG(Wing in Ground Effect) craft. In the final design, three spars construction was selected for safety in the critical flight load, and the Carbon-Epoxy material was selected for lightness and structural stability. In this study, the forced vibration analysis was performed on the composite main wing structure of the twenty-seat class WIG craft with two-stroke pusher type reciprocating engine. The vibration analysis based on the finite element method was performed using a commercial FEM code, MSC/NASTRAN. Excitations for the frequency response analysis were assumed as the H-mode(horizontal mode), the V-mode(vertical mode) and the X-mode(twisted mode) which are typical main vibration modes of engine. And excitations for the transient response analysis were assumed as the L-mode(longitudinal mode) with the oscillating propeller thrust which occurs in operation. According to the result of forced vibration analysis, structural design was modified to reduce the vibrations.

This study was performed on preliminary structural design of a small scale WIG craft which has been developed as a next generation high speed maritime transportation system in Korea. A composite structure design using the foam-sandwich for main wing and tail fins and the honeycomb sandwich and skin-stringer-ring frame for fuselage was applied for weight reduction as well as structural stability. A commercial FEM code, NASTRAN for was utilized to confirm the structural safety for the reiterate design modifications to meet design requirements including the target weight. Each main wing was jointed with the fuselage by eight high strength insert bolts for easy assembling and disassembling as well as for assuring the required 20 years service life. For control surface structural design, the channel type spar, the foam sandwich skin and the lug joint were adopted.

Shape optimization of the 3-dimensional WIG airfoil with 3.0-aspect ratio has been performed by using the multi-objective genetic algorithm. The WIG ship effectively floating above the surface by the ram effect and the virtual additional aspect ratio by a ground is one of next-generation and cost-effective transportations. Unlike the airplane flying out of the ground effect, a WIG ship has possibility to capsize because of unsatisfying the static stability. The WIG ship should satisfy aerodynamic properties as well as a static stability. They tend to strong contradict and it is difficult to satisfy aerodynamic properties and static stability simultaneously. It is inevitable that lift force has to scarify to obtain a static stability. Multi-objective optimization technique that the individual objectives are considered separately instead of weighting can overcome the conflict. Due to handling individual objectives, the optimum cannot be unique but a set of nondominated potential solutions: pareto optimum. There are three objectives; lift coefficient, lift-to-drag ratio and static stability. After a few evolutions, the non-dominated pareto individuals can be obtained. Pareto sets are all the set of possible and excellent solution across the design space. At any selections of the pareto set, these are no better solutions in all design space

As demands for high speed sea transportations have recently been increased, various high speed ships appear. Among them the WIG is believed to be one of the next generation of the sea transportation system. Test flight of the 20 seaters WIG craft, Haenarae-X1, developed by MOERI was a success in August, 2007. Development of the large WIG is now ongoing, and it is expected to be commercialized in the near future. In this study we designed a remote controled WIG Craft and carried out its performance test in order to establish engineering design procedures of an Unmanned WIG (U-WIG) craft.

수면비행선박의 지위가 국제해사기구(IMO)에서 선박으로 분류하는 것으로 결론지은 이후, 국내외적으로는 몇몇 규칙과 권고 사항들이 개정 및 승인되었다. 하지만 정작 수면비행선박의 종류 및 운항특성을 고려한 항법에 관해서는 규정이 미비하고, 수면비행선박간 항법에 관련해서는 규정이 되어 있지 않다. 이러한 상황에서, 현행 법령상에 다른 선박들과 수면비행선박간의 책임 관계를 명확히 하기 위하여 서로 시계에 항법상의 수면비행선박 관련 규정을 모든 시계로의 항법상으로 이동할 것과 수면비행선박간 안전통항을 확보하기 위하여 타입 'B'와 'C'의 수면비행선박이 타입 'A'의 수면비행선박을 피항해야 한다는 규정이 신설되어야 한다고 판단된다.

In the present study, conceptual design of the main wing for 20 seats WIG{wing in Ground Effect) flight vehicle, which will be a high speed maritime transportation system for the next generation, was performed. The high stiffness and strength Carbon-Epoxy material was used for the major structure and the skin-spar with a foam sandwich structural type was adopted for improvement of lightness and structural stability. As a design procedure for this study, firstly the design load was estimated with maximum flight load, and then flanges of the front and the rear spar from major bending load and the skin structure and the webs of the spars were preliminarily sized using the netting rules and the rule of mixture. In order to investigate the structural safety and stability, stress analysis was performed by Finite Element Codes such as NASTRAN/PA TRAN[6] and NISA II [7]. From the stress analysis results, it was confirmed that the upper skin structure between the front spar and rear spar was very unstable for the buckling. Therefore in order to solve this problem, a middle spar and the foam sandwich structure at the upper skin and the web were added. After design modification, even thought the designed wing weight was a little bit heavier than the target wing weight, the structural safety and stability of the final design feature was confirmed. Moreover, in order to fix the wing structure at the fuselage, the insert bolt type structure with six high strength bolts was adopted for easy assembly and removal.

A wing operating in close proximity to the ground exhibits a reduction in induced drag, which increase the lift/drag ratio. The poert-augmented ram (RAR) phenomenon involves directiing the efflux from forward mounted propulsion ststem under the wings, with the efflux nearly stagnated under the wings. In the present paper, 3 dimentional PAR was numerically studied by solving the Navier-Stokes equations. Pressure distribution and velocity vectors are calculated around the wing surface and the ground. Through the numerical simulation, Cp values and lift/drag ratio are carefully reviewed by changing the height/chord; 0.05, 0.1, 0.3 and 0.8. The shape of model is NACA 0012 with a span/chord ratio of 3.0. According to the numerical results, the relationship between lift/drag and height/chord is fairly reasonable.
