Recently, in an effort to reduce the energy efficiency design index (EEDI), studies on energy saving devices (ESDs) have been conducted. In this study, we designed a post-device suitable for a KRISO container ship (KCS) using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In order to increase the efficiency of the post-device, a twisted rudder was used, which has a proven performance (showing a 1.34% reduction in DHP compared to the bare hull at 24 knots) in previous research at Pusan National University. In addition, an increase in efficiency was expected by the use of a rudder bulb, including the discontinuous section of the twisted rudder and a divergent propeller cap to prevent the contraction of the wake. The optimization criterion was the case where the delivery power was the least compared with the bare hull. We analyzed the cause of the efficiency increase through an analysis of the self-propulsion factor. The case study for optimization was divided into 4 types (1. clearance of the bulb and cap, 2. shape of the bulb, 3. size of the bulb and cap, and 4. asymmetric bulb). Finally, with a clearance of 50 mm from the ship, a spherical bulb with the cap having an angle of $5^{\circ}$, and an asymmetric rudder bulb with a bulb diameter of 1.2HH/1.4H (horizontal/vertical) showed a 2.05% reduction in DHP compared to the bare hull at 24 knots. We will fabricate a post-device that will be optimized in the future and verify the performance of the post-device through model tests.

According to the increase of concern for environmental problems, the energy saving becomes an important issue because it is one of the most effective methods of decreasing CO2 which is major environmental problem. In the present study, the post device after propeller related with rudder has been focussed. Recently the full-spade twisted rudder has been frequently used not only to increase the efficiency but also to remove the cavitation risk on leading edge. In addition to that the rudder bulb is also applied to the rudder to increase the propulsion efficiency as well as to minimize the cavitation erosion risk around twisting part. The parametric study has been conducted for investigating the optimum configuration of twisting rudder with bulb by CFD. The present optimization has been applied to the KVLCC2 full-body ship. The verification of the computed results is also expected to be conducted by the comparison with experimental results in the near future.

최근에 CO2 배출에 대한 환경 규제가 마련되었고, 연료유 가격은 계속해서 상승하고 있다. 이런 상황들을 극복하기 위해 연료소모량을 감소시키고 추진효율을 개선한 에너지 저감 추진장치들이 계속해서 개발되고 있다. 본 논문에는 핸디형 산적화물선에 적용한 PBCF, SCHNEEKLUTH duct, 비대칭 러더 벌브, Mewis duct의 성능 실험을 서술하였다. 그 결과, SCHNEEKLUTH duct가 다른 에너지 저감 장치들에 비해 연료소모량 절감과 추진효율의 향상 측면에서 더 효과적이었다. 또한 SCHNEEKLUTH duct가 거주구 진동에도 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 그리고 연료소모량은 주기관 de-rating을 통해서도 절감할 수 있었다.
