A Study on the Identification and Countermeasure of Singing Phenomenon in Ships

선박 명음(Singing) 현상의 규명과 대책에 관한 연구

Recently, the singing phenomenon was encountered during the sea trials of high speed catamaran and 46,000 TDW product carrier and remedied after various treatments, which were based on the reduction of vortex shedding strength and the avoidance of resonance, respectively. And, the numerical approach for structure-acoustical problem like singing phenomenon was established using MSC/NASTRAN and SYSNOISE. In this paper, the effectiveness of numerical approach was verified through the control of singing noise. And the results according to the modification were also discussed. Finally, the future works were described to enhance the numerical approach pattern for singing phenomenon.
