Numerical study is carried out to investigate flow characteristics around an axisymmetric body with and without an integrated propulsor. The incompressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) equations are also solved using the finite volume method and the standard $k-\varepsilon$ turbulence model for turbulence closure. In order to investigate the propulsor-hull interaction, the induced velocity calculated by surface panel methods is utilized for the boundary condition at the propeller plane. The calculated results are compared to the experimental results. It is considered that the present numerical code can be used for design of an integrated propulsor.

In the past, ports have been mainly developed in natural harbors but nowadays ports are built wherever they can be economically justified. Therefore, construction of breakwater in area that establishment of structure is disadvantageous is risen according to the change of conditions to the location for ports. In case of building gravity breakwater in such point, need that plane shapes of more reasonable section permitting wave overtopping is necessary. One of the earliest methods for solving unsteady incompressible flow including free surfaces is the MAC(Marker And Cell) method by Harlow and Welch (1965). Recently. VOF(Volume Of Fluid) method to improve several drawbacks of MAC method is suggested by Hirt and Nichols(1981) and utilized extensively in fields of hydrodynamics. Wave overtopping phenomenon is simulated including wave breaking for permeable breakwater by numerical analysis and investigated features of wave overtopping behind structure using VOF method.

Numerical analysis of viscous flow around twin-skeg hull forms was conducted according to the variations of distance between skegs and vertical skeg inclinations by using a hydrodynamic analysis system, WAVIS. Six twin-skeg hull forms were derived by combining three distances between skegs (16m, 20m, 24m) and four vertical skeg angles ($0^{\circ},\;10^{\circ},\;15^{\circ},\;20^{\circ}$). It is found that the better resistance performance can be obtained with larger vertical skeg angle and smaller skeg distance for the present test cases. It also can be seen that the same trend is true for the nominal wake distributions in the propeller plane. Those tendencies were confirmed by the experimental results of MOERI. It is shown that numerical analysis can be a useful and practical tool for the evaluation and improvement of hydrodynamic performances for the complex stern hull forms with twin skegs.

In analyzing the axisymmetric backward extrusion process a new method of analysis using upper-bound theorem is proposed in which the plastic zone and dead metal zone cam be predicted. Experiments are carried out with commercial aluminum. The metal flow on the meridional plane has been visualized experimentally by using the gridded specimens. It is shown that the theoretical results both in extrusion load and deformation pattern are in good agreement with the experimental results and they can be used for effective punch and die design to consider various process parameters in axisymmetric backward extrusion.

When four operation parameters are adjusted, the temperature of reheater steam is around the designed operator temperature and the decrease of reheater spray flow rate is achieved. As a result, the decrease of thermal efficiency also can be prevented. To keep the reheater exit temperature on the designed value and decrease the use of reheater spray flow rate, the control of four operation parameters is considered and applied in the operation of a thermal power plant.

The Present Study describes the numerical investigations concerning a fuel(Hydrogen), inert gas (Nitrogen) or supersonic air stream issued between each other. The basic flow configuration consists of a plane, double shear/mixing layer flow. For the numerical solution, a fully conservative unsteady $2^{nd}$ order time accurate sub-iteration method and a $2^{nd}$ order Total Variation Diminishing(TVD) scheme are used with the finite volume method(FVM). The results are consist of three categories ; single shear layer consist of fuel and supersonic air stream, inert gas stream issued between supersonic air and fuel stream, fuel gas stream issued between supersonic air and fuel stream. The numerical calculations has been carried out in case of 1,2, and 4mm thickness of center stream. The width of total gas stream is 4cm.

Under the groundwater level, the tunnel face is affected by the seepage force and the groundwater flow may cause a trouble to the tunnel support systems. The appropriate methods of analysis and design in the tunnel face and the lining, considering groundwater flow according to tunnel drainage condition are presented in this thesis. First, the effect of seepage on the stability of tunnel face was studied. Seepage force was estimated by the 3-D finite element analysis and the stability of tunnel face was checked by analytical method. Furthermore, using the finite difference method the stress and displacement on the face were computed for either case, where the seepage force is or is not considered, and the effect of seepage on the tunnel face stability was evaluated. Second, the effect of seepage force on the tunnel lining when construction is finished and steady state seepage flow occurs was studied and a design methodology considering seepage effect was made. Consequently, in case where the groundwater level remains almost unchanged and the steady state groundwater flow occurs, the proper countermeasures for face staility are required according to the condition of groundwater flow. Moreover, the tunnel lining should be designed and constructed considering the seepage force occuring by the groundwater flow toward the tunnel linings.

Most existing theories on ship waves and wave resistance are based on the perturbation of the flow field by a small pararr.eter which specifies the slenderness of the ship hull. Since however, ship hulls in practice are neither so slender nor thin enough to secure the validity of the linearized theory, the agreen:ent between the theoretical prediction and the experimental result is not generally satisfactory. The author pointed out that the contribution by the non-linear term in the free surface condition can be represented by sorr.e source distribution over the still water plane. This paper leads to a forrr.ula for the wave resistance of not slender ships at low Froude nurr.bers. and deals with the asynptotic expression. As a nurr.erical example, the wave resistance of Wigley model is calculated, and the result is compared with experimental values. It is concluded that the wave resistance coefficient varies in the rate of Fn6 at low speed limit in general. A comparison with the result derived from the linearized free surface condition shows that the non-linearity of the free surface is irr portant at low speed.

The hydraulic couplings have been widely used in industries, automobile, and power-station drives including ships. A mathematical analysis by which the design and application of hydraulic couplings are made is used in conventional design formulae and general roto-dynamic theories. The fluid flow of hydraulic couplings can be considered to have two component, one circumferentially about the coupling axis, and the other passing fluid from the pump to the turbine in the plane of the coupling axis. Tests have been carried out on the full-scale production coupling. The performance test consists of taking measurement of torque of the fluid coupling for three different amount of working fluid inside with various loads to the output shaft. The purpose of this research is to construct the experimental test equipments and to establish a series of performance test for the domestically developed hydraulic couplings, and to obtain experimental results which can be used to improve the performance of the hydraulic coupling and to solve the practical problems confronted in operation.

Three dimensional cutting is considered as an equivalent orthogonal cutting through the plane containing both the cutting velocity vector and the chip flow velocity vector in dynamic cutting process. An analytical expression of dynamic cutting force is obtained from the cutting parameters determined by the static cutting. Particular attention is paid to the energy supplied to the vibratory system of cutting tool with two degree of freedom. In this approach, the phase lag of the horizontal vibration of the tool behind the vertical vibration and the direction angle of the fluctuating cutting force is considered in point of stability limits. Chatter vibration can be effectively suppressed by relatively increasing the spring constant and the damping coefficient of the cutting system in the vertical cutting force direction. A good agreement is found between the stability limits predicted by theoretical value and experimental results.
