본 논문은 추진기 모형시험을 이용하여 추진기 날개 끝 보텍스 캐비테이션의 소음특성 및 추진기 캐비테이션 초생 (propeller cavitation inception) 분석에 관한 연구이다. 날개 끝 보텍스 캐비테이션은 일반적으로 추진기에서 가장 먼저 발생하는 캐비테이션으로 발생 유무에 따라 수중방사소음 수준과 특성이 달라진다. 특히 캐비테이션 초생 이후 선속이 높아짐에 따라 급격하게 소음수준이 증가한다고 알려져 있다. 그러므로 함정 추진기에서 날개 끝 보텍스 캐비테이션 발생을 지연시키는 것과 더불어 추진기 캐비테이션의 소음특성을 분석하고 캐비테이션 초생을 판단하는 것 역시 함정 및 수중무기체계의 추진기 개발에 있어 매우 중요한 문제라 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 추진기 날개 끝 보텍스 캐비테이션의 발생과 성장에 따른 소음특성 변화를 분석하고 다양한 영상-소음 계측 및 분석기법을 활용하여 추진기 캐비테이션 초생 판단기법을 제시하였다.

본 논문에서는 선박 수중방사소음 저감을 위하여 질량 분사를 통하여 선박의 저속 운항 조건에서 발생하는 날개 끝 보텍스 캐비테이션 제어에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 3차원 수중익 모형에 대해 질량 분사 위치와 분사량을 조절 할 수 있는 질량 분사 시스템을 제작하였으며, 이를 캐비테이션 터널 내에 설치하고 3차원 수중익으로부터 생성되는 캐비테이션의 강도에 따른 시험을 캐비테이션 제어 실험을 수행하였다. 질량 분사 위치 및 분사량에 따른 캐비테이션의 관찰과 소음 특성을 분석하기 위하여 고속 카메라와 음향 센서를 이용하여 계측하였고, 그 결과 질량 분사에 따라 특정 조건에서 날개 끝 보텍스가 억제되고 특정 주파수 대역의 소음이 저감 되는 것을 확인하였다. 날개 끝 보텍스 제어와 소음 저감 성능에 우수한 분사구 위치가 있음을 확인하였고, 일정 수준 이상의 분사량을 가질때 큰 저감 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 질량 분사를 이용하여 날개 끝 보텍스의 강도가 약할 때 특정 조건에서 제어가 가능하다는 것을 확인하였다.

In order to design a propeller with high efficiency and excellent cavitation performance, theoretical and experimental studies on the cavitation and noise characteristics according to the blade section shape are essential. In general, sheet cavitation, bubble cavitation, and cloud cavitation are the main causes of hull vibration and propeller surface erosion. However vortex cavitation, which has the greatest influence on the noise level because the fastest CIS in ship propeller, has been researched for a long time and studies have been conducted recently to control it. In this experiment, the development process of cavitation was measured by using three dimensional wings with two different wing section and wing tip shapes, and the noise level at that time was evaluated. In addition, we evaluated the relationship between cavitation inception and hydrodynamic force using three component load cell and we measured the velocity field of wing wake using LDV.

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.

Tip vortex cavitation (TVC) is important for naval ships and research vessels that require raising the cavitation inception speed to maximum possible values. The concepts for alleviating the tip vortex are summarized by Platzer and Souders (1979), who carried out a thorough literature survey. Active control of TVC involves the injection of a polymer or water from the blade tip. The main effect of such mass injection (both water and polymer solutions) into the vortex core is an increase in the core radius, consequently delaying TVC inception. However, the location of the injection port needs to be selected with great care in order to ensure that the mass injection is effective in delaying TVC inception. In the present study, we propose a semi-active control scheme that is achieved by attaching a thread at the propeller tip. The main idea of a semi-active control is that because of its flexibility, the attached thread can be sucked into the low-pressure region closer to the vortex core center. An experimental study using a scale model was carried out in the cavitation tunnel at the Seoul National University. It was found that a flexible thread can effectively suppress the occurrence of TVC under the design condition for a model propeller.

A stereoscopic PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) technique was employed to measure the 3 dimensional flow structure of turbulent wake behind a marine propeller with 5 blades. The out-of-plane velocity component was determined using two CCD cameras with the angular displacement configuration. Four hundred instantaneous velocity fields were measured for each of four different blade phases and ensemble averaged to investigate the spatial evolution of the propeller wake in the near-wake region from the trailing edge to one propeller diameter(D) downstream. The phase-averaged velocity fields show the potential wake and the viscous wake developed along the blade surfaces. Tip vortices were generated periodically and the slipstream contraction occurs in the near-wake region. The out-of-plane velocity component and strain rate have large values at the locations of tip and trailing vortices. As the flow goes downstream, the turbulence intensity, the strength of tip vortices and the magnitude of out-of-plane velocity component at trailing vortices are decreased due to viscous dissipation, turbulence diffusion and blade-to-blade interaction.

The main source of underwater radiated noise of ships is cavitation generated by propeller blades. After the Cavitation Inception Speed (CIS), noise level at all frequencies increases severely. In determining the CIS, it is based on the results observed with the naked eye during the model test, however accuracy and consistency of CIS values are becoming practical issues. This study was carried out with the aim of developing a technology that can automatically recognize cavitation images using deep learning technique based on a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Model tests on a three-dimensional hydrofoil were conducted at a cavitation tunnel, and tip vortex cavitation was strictly observed using a high-speed camera to obtain analysis data. The results show that this technique can be used to quantitatively evaluate not only the CIS, but also the amount and rate of cavitation from recorded images.

Cavitation occurs inevitably in marine propellers rotating at high speed in the water, which is a major cause of underwater radiated noise. Cavitation-induced noise from propellers rotating at a specific frequency not only reduces the sonar detection capability, but also exposes the ship's location, and it causes very fatal consequences for the survivability of the navy vessels. Therefore cavity inception speed (CIS) is one of the important factors determining the special performance of the ship. In this study, we present a method using computer vision that can detect and quantitatively estimate tip vortex cavitation on a propeller rotating at high speed. Based on the model test results performed in a large cavitation tunnel, the effectiveness of this method was verified.

A two-dimensional particle image velocimetry (2D PIV) system in a towing tank is employed to measure a wake field of a very large crude oil carrier model with rotating propeller in self propulsion condition, to identify characteristics of wake of a propeller working behind a ship. Phase-averaged and time-averaged flow fields are measured for a horizontal plane. Scale ratio of the model ship is 1/100 and Froude number is 0.142. By phase-averaging technique, trajectories of tip vortex and hub vortex are identified and characteristic secondary vortex distribution is observed in the hub vortex region. Propeller wake on the starboard side is more accelerated than that on the port side, due to the difference of inflow of propeller blades. The hub vortex trajectory tends to face the port side. With the fluctuation part of the phase-averaged velocity field, turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) is also derived. In the center of tip vortex and hub vortex region, high TKE concentration is observed. In addition, a time-averaged vector field is also measured and compared with phase-averaged vector field.

The present study numerically investigated the effect of the advance ratio on the wake characteristics of the marine propeller in the propeller open water test. Therefore, a wide range of the advance ratio(0.2${\kappa}-{\omega}$SST Model are considered. The three-dimensional vortical structures of tip vortices are visualized by the swirl strength, resulting in fast decay of the tip vortices with increasing the advance ratio. Furthermore, to better understanding of the wake evolution, the contraction ratio of the slip stream for different advance ratios is extracted from the velocity fields. Consequently, the slip stream contraction ratio decreases with increasing the advance ratio and successively the difference of the slip stream contraction ratio between J=0.2 and J=0.8 is about 0.1R.
