덕트 로터 추진장치에서 덕트와 로터 날개끝 사이의 간극변화가 날개끝 보오텍스 캐비테이션 초기발생 특성에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 연구하였다. 허브 보오텍스 캐비테이션과 날개끝 보오텍스 캐비테이션 초기발생특성의 상관관계를 살펴보기 위해서 추진장치 하류에서 축방향과 원주방향유속을 L.D.V.로 계측하였다. 날개끝 및 허브 보오텍스 캐비테이션 초기발생 관찰결과와 유속분포로부터 해석된 유동변화가 정성적으로 잘 일치하고 있으며, 날개끝 보오텍스 캐비테이션 초기발생 지연을 최대화할 수 있는 최적의 간극량을 도출하였다.

NACA0020 단면을 갖는 타원형 날개끝에서 발생되어 전개되는 Tip Vortex를 연구하기 위하여 날개표면과 후류에서의 유동특성을 조사하였다. 날개표면 유동은 Tufts법과 캐비테이션 관찰로 분석되었으며 날개표면 압력계측으로 유동가시화 결과를 보완하였다. 연구결과 강력한 스팬방향 압력구배가 Tip Vortex 생성에 결정적 영향을 줌과 아울러 날개 양쪽면에서의 유동이 공히 보오텍스의 생성에 기여함을 알 수 있었다. 한편, 자세한 Tip Vortex의 구조를 보기위하여 캐비테이션 관찰, Laser Sheet 기법에 의한 보오텍스 단면가시화 및 유속계측이 실시되었는데 보오텍스의 형상과 강도는 날개의 받음각에 지배되어 나타났다. 날개끝 유동의 전반적인 특성은 비점성유동 가정하에서 사용되는 보오텍스 모델링을 보완할 목적으로 분석되었다.

Cavitation is the dominant noise source of the marine vehicle. Of the various types of cavitation , tip vortex cavitation is the first appearance type of marine propeller cavitation and it generates high frequency noise. In this study, tip vortex cavitation behavior and noise are numerically investigated. A numerical scheme using Eulerian flow field computation and Lagrangian particle trace approach is applied to simulate the tip vortex cavitation on the hydrofoil. Vortex flow field is simulated by combined Moore and Saffman's vortex core radius equation and Sculley vortex model. Tip vortex cavitation behavior is analyzed by coupled Rayleigh-Plesset equation and trajectory equation. The cavitation nuclei are distributed and released in the vortex flow result. Vortex cavitation trajectories and radius variations are computed according to nuclei initial size. Noise is analyzed using time dependent cavitation bubble position and radius data. This study may lay the foundation for future work on vortex cavitation study and it will provide a basis for proper underwater propeller noise control strategies.

As considerable interests in noise emission from the ships have been increased, control of the propeller cavitation generating vibration and radiating noise is looming large. In general, the tip vortex cavitation is first produced in case of full scale propellers, and noise levels rise dramatically from that moment. In order to reduce induced noise from the tip vortex cavitation and hence increase the cavity inception speed, we propose the mass injection method. Water injected from the propeller tip decreases rotating speed of the tip flow, and it restrains growing the tip vortex cavity. Experimental investigations of the model tests carried out in a large cavitation tunnel show that the tip vortex cavitation is effectively controled by water injection from the propeller tip.

This paper provides quantification of the effects of the turbulence model and grid refinement on the analysis of tip vortex flows by using the RANS(Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes) method. Numerical simulations of the tip vortex flows of the NACA $66_2$-415 elliptic hydrofoil were conducted, and two turbulence models for RANS closure were tested, i.e., the Realizable $k-{\varepsilon}$ model and the Reynolds stress transport model. Numerical results were compared with available experimental data, and it was shown that the data for the Reynolds stress transport model that were computed on the finest grid system had better agreement in reproducing the development and propagation of the tip vortex. The Realizable $k-{\varepsilon}$ model overestimated the turbulence level in the vortex core and showed a diffusive behavior of the tip vortex. The tip vortex cavitation on the hydrofoil and its trajectory also showed good agreement between the current numerical results that were obtained using the Reynolds stress transport model and the results observed in the experiment.

조류발전용 HAT 임펠러에 팁 레이크를 적용하여 임펠러 성능을 고찰해 보았다. 기존의 조류발전용 임펠러는 날개 끝 보오텍스에 의해 효율 감소로 인한 전력 손실 뿐 아니라 소음 및 진동에 의한 설치해역 주변의 해양 생태계 파괴의 우려가 있다. 임펠러 날개 끝에 레이크를 적용함으로써 효율의 개선과 함께 소음 및 진동 저감 효과를 파악하고자 하였다. 향후 레이크 비율에 따른 효율증가 및 캐비테이션 성능 향상에 대한 최적화를 수행할 계획이다.

Since a cavitation pattern in model scale can be different from that in full scale, it has been highly demanded to measure a fluctuating pressure induced by propeller in full scale. For the verification of the cavitation test for 105K lanker in the large cavitation tunnel in Samsung Ship Model Basin(SSMB), an effective pressure fluctuation measurement system was developed and a series of full scale measurements was carried out. These results were compared with those of cavitation tests in SSMB. The measured results in full scale gave good agreements to those in model tests. The fluctuating pressure at $2^{nd}$ blade frequency in full scale seems to be highly dependent upon tip loading.

A two-frame PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) technique is used to investigate the wake characteristics behind a marine propeller with 4 blades at high Reynolds number. For each of 9 different blade phases from $ 0^{\circ} $ to $ 80^{\circ} $, one hundred and fifty instantaneous velocity fields are measured. They are ensemble averaged to study the spatial evolution of the propeller wake in the region ranging from the trailing edge to one propeller diameter (D) downstream location. The phase-averaged mean velocity shows that the trailing vorticity is related to radial velocity jump, and the viscous wake is affected by boundary layers developed on the blade surfaces and centrifugal force. Both Galilean decomposition method and vortex identification method using swirling strength calculation are very useful for the study of vortex behaviors En the propeller wake legion. The slipstream contraction occurs in the near-wake region up to about X/D : 0.53 downstream. Thereafter, unstable oscillation occurs because of the reduction of interaction between the tip vortex and the wake sheet behind the maximum contraction point.

This paper presents numerical results of the performance of a marin propeller in cavitating and non-cavitating flow conditions. The geometry and experimental validation data of the propeller are provided in Potsdam Propeller Test Case(PPTC) in the framework of the second International Symposium on Marine Propulsors 2011(SMP'11) workshop. The PPTC includes open water tests, velocity field measurements and cavitation tests. The present numerical analysis was carried out by using the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) method on a wall-resolved grid ensuring a y+=1, where the SST k-${\omega}$ model was mainly used for turbulence closure. The influence of the turbulence model was investigated in the prediction of the wake field under a non-cavitating flow condition. The propeller tip vortex flows in both cavitating and non-cavitating conditions were captured through adaptation of additional grids. For the cavitation flows at three operation points, Schnerr-Sauer's cavitation model was used with a Volume-Of Fluid(VOF) approach to capture the two-phase flows. The present numerical results for the propeller wake and cavitation predictions including the open water performance showed a qualitatively reasonable agreement with the model test results.
