연마재 워터젯을 이용하여 암반을 굴착하기 위해서는 노즐이 삽입되고 절삭하는 연속적 공정이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 노즐이 삽입되기 위한 충분한 절삭 폭을 확보하기 위해 한 쌍의 연마재 워터젯 노즐을 이용하여 암석 절삭실험을 실시하였다. 한 쌍의 노즐형태와 위치에 따른 기하학적 변수에 따라 암석 절삭형상과 절삭 폭이 달라지는 것을 확인하였다. 정의된 기하학적 변수에 따라 절삭 깊이 및 폭을 측정하여 암반에 형성되는 절삭단면 형상을 분석하였다. 그 중 노즐 삽입이 가능한 기하학적 변수를 제시하고 현장적용 가능성에 대해 검증하였다.

In recent, the machining of difficult-to-cut materials such as titanium alloys, stainless steel, Inconel, ceramic, glass, and carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) used in aerospace, automobile, medical industry is actively researched. Abrasive waterjet is a non-traditional processing method in which ultra-high pressure water and abrasive particles are mixed in a mixing chamber and shoot out jet through a nozzle, and removed by erosion due to collision with a material. In particular, the nozzle of the abrasive waterjet is one of the most important parts that affect the machining quality as with a cutting tool in general machining. It is very important to monitor the condition of the nozzle because the workpiece is uncut or the surface quality deteriorates due to wear, expanding of the bore, damage of the nozzle and clogging of the abrasive, etc. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a monitoring system based on Acoustic Emission(AE) sensor that can detect nozzle condition in real time during AWJ processing.

A Waterjet has been widely used for the propulsion of various speed range of marine vehicles due to its many advantages compared with the conventional screw propellers. In this paper, a power prediction based on momentum flux method is presented for the preliminary estimation of required power and selection of propulsion system for the waterjet driven craft. A theoretical basis of the mechanism of the waterjet is given and some of the empirical formulas are given as well. Finally the influence of intake type and nozzle exit velocity on the efficiency will be discussed.

Although rock excavation is necessary for the effective utilization of urban space, most conventional rock excavation methods, including the blasting method, cause high noise and vibration. Meanwhile, if a high pressure waterjet system is applied to excavate underground spaces in urban areas, the public grievance can be reduced by low noise and vibration. In this study, an abrasive waterjet system is designed and developed to study the influence of various performance parameters such as jet pressure, nozzle traverse speed, stand-off distance, or abrasive feed rate on waterjet excavation performance in laboratory. Using the developed waterjet system, rock drilling characteristics are identified by measuring drilling depths as a function of the jet exposure time. The drilling depth linearly increases with increasing the jet exposure time(under 60sec). Rock cutting characteristics are also obtained with various jet pressures(1600~3200kg/$cm^2$) and nozzle traverse speeds(1.9~14.1mm/s): The cutting depth is nonlinearly related to the jet pressure and traverse speed. Indeed, the cutting depth increases with an increase in the jet pressure and a decrease in the nozzle traverse speed. This trend can be explained by energy transferring/loss mechanism.

This paper describes the performance of small waterjet propulsion system and show the influence of performance for nozzle shape and area. The installed engine sets a limit on maximum power in below 1800 rpm for fuel saving. Our designated target is reached by redesign of the impeller considering engine characteristics and extention of nozzle pararell part. The results of the full-scale ships are compared with thoes of the model test. In the future, those experimental data will be applied to the relation study between engine characteristics and powering performance prediction.

It is well known that water jetting is now widely used in the advanced cutting processes of polymers, metals, glass, ceramics, and composite materials because of some advantages, such as heatless and non-contacting cutting different from the laser beam machining. In this paper, we proposed the simulation model of waterjet by lengths and the inner spiral structure of the nozzle. The simulation results show that the outlet velocity of the nozzle is faster than the inlet. Furthermore, we found rapid velocity reduction after passing through the outlet. The nozzle of diameter ${\phi}500$ and length 70mm, shows the optimal fluid width and velocity distribution. Also, the nozzle with inner spiral structure shows a Gaussian distribution of velocity and this model is almost twice as fast as the model without spiral structure, within the effective standoff distance (2.5 mm). In the future, when inserting abrasive material into the waterjet, we plan to analyze the fluid flow and the particle behavior through a simulation model.

A comparative study between a computation and an experiment has been conducted to predict the performance of a Pod type waterjet for cm amphibious wheeled vehicle. The Pod type waterjet has been chosen on the basis of the required specific speed of more than 2500. As the Pod type waterjet is an extreme type of axial flow type waterjet, theoretical as well as experimental works about Pod type waterjets are very rare. The main purpose of the present study is to validate and compare to the experimental results of the Pod type waterjet with the developed CFD in-house code based on the RANS equations. The developed code has been validated by comparing with the experimental results of the well-known turbine problem. The validation also extended to the flush type waterjet where the pressures along the duct surface and also velocities at nozzle area have been compared with experimental results. The Pod type waterjet has been designed and the performance of the designed waterjet system including duct, impeller and stator was analyzed by the previously mentioned m-house CFD Code. The pressure distributions and limiting streamlines on the blade surfaces were computed to confirm the performance of the designed waterjets. In addition, the torque and momentum were computed to find the entire efficiency and these were compared with the model test results. Measurements were taken of the flow rate at the nozzle exit, static pressure at the various sections along the duct and also the nozzle, revolution of the impeller, torque, thrust and towing forces at various advance speed's for the prediction of performance as well as for comparison with the computations. Based on these measurements, the performance was analyzed according to the ITTC96 standard analysis method. The full-scale effective and the delivered power of the wheeled vehicle were estimated for the prediction of the service speed. This paper emphasizes the confirmation of the ITTC96 analysis method and the developed analysis code for the design and analysis of the Pod type waterjet system.

워터젯 암반 굴착공법은 물과 연마재만을 사용하는 친환경 및 비접촉식 굴착방법으로 다양한 장점을 가지고 있다. 최근에는 기존 천공 공법의 문제점을 보완하고 분진 방지, 소음 저하 등의 이유로 워터젯 공법의 활용이 증가하고 있다. 워터젯 굴착효율을 증대시키기 위해서는 복수의 노즐을 운용하는 것이 유리하다. 복수의 노즐을 사용할 경우, 노즐 운용방법에 따른 굴착성능과 형상을 분석하는 것이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 노즐각, 노즐 간 수평거리, 이격거리를 노즐 운용변수로 정의하고 굴착성능과 형상을 분석하였다. 실험결과, 노즐각과 이격거리가 증가할 때 굴착깊이는 감소하였고 유효 굴착깊이는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 실험결과를 바탕으로 노즐 삽입에 필요한 굴착형상 기준을 제안하고 기준에 따른 최적 노즐 운용변수를 도출하였다. 본 연구결과는 향후 암반 천공용 다중 워터젯 노즐 개발 시 유용한 기초연구로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

A study of design and analysis for the POD type waterjet is conducted. The analysis and design of waterjet system are more difficult than that of conventional propulsor because waterjet is complicatedly composed of many parts which are impeller, stator, inlet, nozzle, etc. The streamline method is traditionally used in the design of pump whose characteristics are similar to those of waterjet. This streamline method, however, has some limitation in analysis of a viscous flow as well as the interaction of inlet part of hull. In the present study, the developed CFD program is applied to the analysis of POD type waterjet. The developed program is first validated by comparing the existed experimental results. The designed waterjet system is also analyzed by the developed CFD program and analyzed results show that the performance of the present POD type waterjet is above the requirement.
