In order to investigate efficiency and flowfield charateristics of the intake-diffuser for the ship waterjet propulsion, new experimental verification technology was set up in the cavitation tunnel. 1-hole and 5-hole pilot tubes were designed and manufactured to measure the pressure and velocity distributions at intake-diffuser entrance and impeller inlet. The calibration of the 5-hole pilot tubes is conducted at the cavitation tunnel The cavitation inception occurs at the intake lip, and the occurrence position depends on IVR (Inlet Velocity Ratio) condition. The present experimental device will be applied sufficiently for the development of the design and performance improvement technologies.

Stereoscopic PIV measurements were made in the wind tunnel with the actual size waterjet model. The main wind tunnel provides the vehicle velocity while the secondary wind tunnel adjusts the jet issuing velocity. Experiments were performed at the range of jet to vehicle velocity ratio (JVR), 3.75 to 8.0 and the Reynolds number of 220,000 based on the jet velocity and the hydraulic diameter of the waterjet intake duct. Wall pressure distributions were measured for various JVRs. Three dimensional velocity fields were obtained at the inlet and outlet of the intake duct. It is found that severe acceleration is occurred at the lip region while deceleration is noticeable at the ramp side. The detailed three dimensional velocity fields can be used as the accurate velocity input for the CFD simulation. It is interesting to note that there are many different types of vortices in the instantaneous velocity field. It can be considered that those vortices are generated by the corner of rectangular section of the intake and Gortler vortices due to the curved wall. However, typical secondary flow with a pair of counter rotating vortex pair is clearly seen in the ensemble averaged velocity field.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the steady performance of POD-type waterjet system by panel method. A surface panel method is applied to the present analysis. To analyze the compound propulsor. analysis program has been developed based on a perturbation potential method. The developed code has been validated by comparing the experimental data of shrouded propeller. The validated code has been applied to the POD-type waterjet system which can be used for the propulsion of amphibious vehicle. The computed results have been compared with experimental results. which shows a good agreement between them.

A waterjet propulsion system has many advantages compared with a conventional screw propeller especially for amphibious military vehicles because of a good maneuverability at low speed, good operating ability at shallow water, high thrust at low speed to aid maneuverability and exit from water, etc. Especially, compact design is important for the tracked-vehicle because of buoyancy in water and available space inside the tracked vehicle. The experiment is parametrically performed for various impeller diameters for more compact design. The experimental results are analyzed according to the ITTC 1996 standard analysis method as well as the conventional propulsive factor analysis method. The full-scale effective and delivered power of the tracked-vehicle are evaluated according to the variation of impeller diameter. This paper emphasized the effect of impeller diameter on the performance of waterjet system.

The performance of the waterjet system of a patrol boat has been experimentally studied. A waterjet propulsion system has many advantages comparing with a conventional screw propeller especially for high speed craft because of its good cavitation performance. This paper describes experimental procedure and analysis method of self-propulsion tests with a 1/12-scale model. Experimental results were analyzed according to ITTC 96 standard method. The full-scale effective power and delivered power of the ship were also analyzed and the full-scale speed predicted from the model test compares reasonably with the measured full-scale results of the sea trial.

This study assessed the potential for crabbing motion in waterjet ships by exclusively employing stern thrusters. The theoretical considerations were validated through practical sea trials on the naval vessel PKG (Patrol Killer Guided missile) equipped with three stern thrusters. The control forces were calculated using the force equilibrium equation. The results showed that the hull exhibited rotations and lateral movements under wind influence. The port tail exhibited a leftward turning tendency due to the wind. This phenomenon arises from the dominance of the rotational force generated by the stern thruster over the lateral force exerted by the hull, making it challenging to maintain force equilibrium. In the sea trial, the hull rotated by 10° and moved 10.8 m laterally, with a longitudinal movement of 0.26 m. Remarkably, the lateral movement surpassed the longitudinal displacement, indicating the success of the trial. The substantial lateral travel distance provided tangible evidence that the crabbing motion of the ship is achievable using only stern thrusters. This study contributes valuable insights into enhancing the maneuverability of waterjet ships, offering practical applications for naval operations and maritime activities.

기존 발파를 이용한 암반굴착 공법은 효율적이나 심각한 수준의 발파진동 및 여굴/미굴을 발생시킨다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 워터젯 절삭기술을 이용하여 터널 계획선을 따라 자유면을 형성한 후 발파하는 공법을 제안하고 있다. 제안공법은 (1) 발파진동/소음을 저감시키고, (2) 여굴/미굴을 최소화 시키고, (3) 굴착효율 극대화가 가능하다. 제안공법의 효과를 검증하기 위해 기존에 널리 쓰이고 있는 스무스 블라스팅(smooth blasting) 공법을 실험 대조군으로 설정하여 동일한 조건에서 현장실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 발파 진동은 최대 55% 감소하고 여굴/미굴은 거의 발생하지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 굴착효율은 기존공법에 비해 뛰어난 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서 제안하고 있는 워터젯 자유면을 이용한 암반 발파공법은 도심지 굴착공사뿐만 아니라 지하구조물 구축공사에 널리 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A waterjet propulsion system has many advantages compared with a conventional screw propeller especially for amphibious armored wheeled vehicles because of a good maneuverability at low speed, good operation ability at shallow water, high thrust at low speed to aid maneuverability and exit from water, etc. The POD type waterjet is adequate for the present wheeled vehicle because the weight is lighter and L/B is longer than the conventional armored amphibious vehicle. Resistance and self-propulsion tests with a 1/3.5-scale model are conducted at PNU towing tank. Based on these measurements, the performance is analyzed according to ITTC 96 standard analysis method and also according to the conventional propulsive factor analysis method. Based on these two methods, the full-scale effective and delivered powers of amphibious armored wheeled vehicle are estimated. This paper emphasizes the analysis method of model test of the waterjet propulsion system for a amphibious armored wheeled vehicle and the model test technique together with the comparison of the two analysis methods.

It is well known that abrasive waterjet(AWJ) was developed as a kind of high-density energy processing technologies. AWJ is used to obtain the better cutting quality of various materials such as metals, ceramics, glass and composite materials within a short manufacturing time because of the characteristics of heatless and noncontact processing. However, AWJ device still has some problems to obtain the high quality of thin workpiece. In this paper, we investigated the optimal microcutting conditions of AWJ, such as maximum pressure, cutting speed and standoff distance of thin multi-layered materials. The experimental results show that AWJ has possibilities and potential to apply to the microcutting of thin multi-layered materials for IT industrial applications.
