In this study, an experiment was conducted on the development and performance of self-propelled vehicles to repair defects in concrete sewage pipes. The self-propelled vehicle for a non-excavation repair for the sewage pipe defects was developed in consideration of the performance of the driving system, the feasibility of the repair unit, and the transportation of repair materials. In order to evaluate the performance of the developed self-propelled vehicle, a repair test was performed by simulating a defect at a connection between the main pipe and extruded one. The main sewage pipe was meade of concrete and its diameter was 500mm. Thereafter, watertightness performance was evaluated on the leakage at the repaired part. For watertightness performance, both ends of concrete sewage pipe and connected one was inserted by plugs, and then water was injected. The amount of leakage water measurement was 0.07L/㎡, indicating a value less than 0.2L/㎡ of the allowable leakage amount. Therefore, test results indicated that the self-propelled vehicle developed in this study exhibited excellent maintenance performance for repairing the sewage pipes.

MARPOL 협약에 따르면 400톤 이상의 모든선박은 협약증서를 비치해야 한다. 기관이 미탑재 되거나, 선원이 없이 무인/무동력으로 운항되는 바지선의 경우 해양오염의 위험성이 크지 않다. 이 연구에서는 효율적인 MARPOL 협약의 적용을 위해 증서 비치 면제가 필요한 선박을 식별하여 각 부속서를 개정을 제안한다.

A comparison between sea trial measurements and full-scale CFD results is presented for two self-propelled ships. Two ships considered in the present study are: a general cargo carrier at Froude number $F_n=0:182$ and a car carrier at $F_n=0:254$. For the general cargo carrier, the propeller rotation rate is fixed and the achieved speed and trim are compared to sea trials, while for the car carrier, the propeller rotation rate is adjusted to achieve the 80% MCR. In addition, three grids are used for each ship in order to assess the grid refinement sensitivity. All simulations are performed using the Naval Hydro pack based on foam-extend, a community driven fork of the OpenFOAM software. The results demonstrate the possibility of using high-fidelity numerical methods to directly calculate ship scale flow characteristics, including the effects of free surface, non-linearity, turbulence and the interaction between propeller, hull and the flow field.

Contaminated sediments are the actual cause for deterioration of coastal-ecosystem. So the developed countries have been in the process of making an effort to develop new techniques for monitoring and solving this problem since 1960. In this research, suction type pump dredging system of pilot size for collecting the filth from the seabed has been designed and manufactured that can prevent or minimize the secondary pollution by filth diffusion. For the practical use, the application possibility of the developed system has been checked through a system performance test. And, the evaluation of system performance according to the underwater body type has been carried out for system optimization by using CFD. The performance tests for checking the efficiency of sediment collecting system are done under two conditions i.e. when the system is non-operational and when the system is self-propelled. The results of this research showed the possibility of the development of dredging system to remove just the upper parts of filth from seabed.
