A POD analysis based on time-resolved PIV measurements in a circulating water channel has been conducted to identify the skin friction reduction mechanism of outer-layer vertical blades. A recent PIV measurement indicated 2.73% and 7.95% drag reduction in the blade plane and the blade-in-between plane, respectively. In the present study, the influence of vertical blades array upon the characteristics of the turbulent coherent structures was analyzed by the POD method. It is observed that the vortical structures are cut and deformed by the blades array and that their temporal evolution is strongly associated with the skin-friction drag reduction mechanism in the turbulent boundary layer flow.

Overall total length of hydraulic pipe to transport the hot water in the domestic district heating network is above 3,000 Km approximately. This long pipe network requires a lots of the transport pumping power by surface friction of fluid. In this study, the drag reduction(DR) of Amin Oxide $C_{18}$ as non-ionic surfactant according to the fluid velocity, temperature and surfactant concentration under the condition of above $80^{\circ}C$ fluid temperature were investigated experimentally. Results showed that new amin oxide $C_{18}$ surfactant had DR of maximum 30% in fluid temperature of $80^{\circ}C$ and had 15% DR in fluid temperature over $100^{\circ}$ under short time test condition. And amine oxide had 155 hours duration time to keep the DR characteristic in the fluid temperature of $80^{\circ}$ and 1000 ppm concentration. But duration time of DR was decreased when fluid temperature increased.

대형 상용 엔진에서 발생하는 유효 도시 마력의 약 4~15%는 마찰 손실을 통해서 사라지며 마찰 손실 중 약 40~55%는 엔진 실린더와 피스톤 사이의 마찰에 의하여 발생하여, 엔진 전체에서 발생하는 마찰 손실 중 가장 많은 부분을 차지하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 엔진 실린더 라이너의 온도 분포 개선을 통해 라이너를 따라 유막을 형성하고 있는 윤활유의 적정 점성을 유지시키는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 피스톤-라이너에서 발생하는 마찰 특성은 피스톤의 행정 위치에 따라서 접촉 마찰과 유막에 의한 마찰로 구분되며 이에 따라 요구되는 윤활유의 점성 특성 또한 달라진다. 먼저 해석 모델을 통하여 실린더 라이너 내부 온도 분포 특성을 확인한 후 피스톤 마찰 특성을 고려한 적정 온도 분포를 고찰하며 실린더 라이너에 열저항 코팅을 통해서 이를 구현하였다. 또한 실린더-피스톤 간의 마찰/윤활 해석을 통하여 열저항 코팅의 마찰 개선효과를 확인하였다.

In this study, a series of full-scale extrapolation procedures based on the Granville's similarity scaling method, which was employed by Schultz (2007), is modified and then applied to compare the resistance performance between two different anti-fouling coatings. As an analysis example, the low frictional AF coating based on a novel skin-friction reducing polymer named FDR-SPC (Frictional Drag Reduction Self-Polishing Copolymer), which had been invented by the present author, is employed. The low frictional coating, which gives 25.4% skin frictional reduction in lab test, is estimated to give 18.2% total resistance reduction for a 176k DWT bulk carrier.

DBD (Dielectric Barrier Discharge) plasma actuator was designed for aerodynamic drag reduction using plasma flow control, and the drag reduction was measured by wind-tunnel tests using 2D test model. At the zero wind velocity, the plasma flow control had no effect on the drag reduction because the flow separation and surface friction drag were not occurred. At the wind velocity of 2m/s, 9.7% of drag was reduced by the flow separation control. The drag reduction decreased as the wind velocity increased.

In this study, a novel FDR-SPC is first synthesized in this study. The drag reducing functional radical such as PEGMA (Poly(ethylene) glycol methacrylate) has been utilized to participate in the synthesis process of the SPC. The types of the baseline SPC monomers, the molecular weight and the mole fraction of PEGMA were varied in the synthesis process. The resulting SPCs were coated to the substrate plates for the subsequent hydrodynamic test for skin friction measurement. In a low-Reynolds number flow measurement using PIV (Particle Image Velocimeter), a significant reduction in Reynolds stress was observed in a range of specimen, with the maximum drag reduction being 15.9% relative to the smooth surface.

The drag reduction (DR) and heat transfer efficiency reduction (HTER) of nonionic surfactant according to the fluid velocity, temperature and surfactant concentration were investigated experimentally. For this study, several kinds of new surfactant which contains amine-oxide and betaine were developed. And experimental apparatus equipped with two water storage tanks temperature controlled, pumps, testing pipe network, two flowmeters, two pressure gauges, heat exchanger, and data logging system was built. Results showed that existing alkyl ammonium surfactant (CTAC) had DR of $0.6{\sim}0.8$ for $1,000{\sim}2,000\;ppm$ in fluid temperature of $50{\sim}60^{\circ}C$ and had very low DR in fluid temperature over $70^{\circ}C$. And new amino oxide and betaine surfactant (SAOB) had lower DR in fluid temperature of $50{\sim}60^{\circ}C$ compared with CTAC but in fluid temperature of $70{\sim}80^{\circ}C$ DR was $0.6{\sim}0.8$ for 1$1,000{\sim}2,000\;ppm$.

홍수 시의 산지하천 만곡부는 2차류 발생과 편수위 상승에 따른 하상세굴 및 홍수범람 위험이 크다. 만곡부 외측에 주로 설치되어 있는 콘크리트 옹벽호안은 표면이 매끄러워 홍수피해를 가중 시킨다. 이러한 피해를 저감시키기 위해 콘크리트 옹벽에 돌출줄눈을 설치하여 유속조감 및 설치효과를 분석한 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 제안된 직사각형 단면의 돌출줄눈보다 내구성을 추구한 사다리꼴 단면의 돌출줄눈을 제시하여 수리모형 실험을 수행하였다. 수리모형 실험은 개수로 직선수로에서 수로경사 0.0035 조건에서 수로 출구 게이트를 조절하면서 이루어졌다. 모형 돌출줄눈의 조도높이는 3cm로 하였으며, 사다리꼴 밑각은 $45^{\circ}$로 완만한 경우이다. 설치간격은 무차원 돌출줄눈 간격을 기준으로 ?형 조도인 6으로 하였다. 돌출줄눈의 설치 유무에 따라 유량에 따른 수위를 측정하고 유속을 산정하여, 마찰저항의 변화를 파악하였다. 공급유량에 따른 Froude 수는 0.168~0.359 범위였으며, 유량이 증가에 따라 Manning의 조도계수는 감소하였다. Froude 수가 0.25보다 큰 경우 돌출줄눈설치의 조도계수가 미설치보다 큰 것으로 파악되었다. 그러나 사다리꼴 돌출줄눈의 흐름저항효과는 직사각형 돌출줄눈에 비해 상대적으로 작았다. 수로 횡단면의 수위분포에 따르면, 돌출줄눈 설치 측벽 주변에서 흐름저항에 따른 유속감소와 수위상승 효과가 나타나는 것으로 파악되었다. 이번 사다리꼴 돌출줄눈은 흐름저항 효과가 크지 않았기 때문에 사다리꼴 밑각을 조정하여 새로운 단면에 대한 추가적인 실험이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

An experimental assessment has been made of the drag reducing efficiency of the outer-layer vertical blades, which were first devised by Hutchins. The drag reduction efficiency of the blades was reported to reach as much as 30%. However, the drag reduction efficiency was quantified only in terms of the reduction in the local skin-friction coefficient. In the present study, a series of drag force measurements in towing tank has been performed toward the assessments of the total drag reduction efficiency of the outer-layer vertical blades. A maximum 9.6% of reduction of total drag was achieved. The scale of blade geometry is found to be weakly correlated with outer variable of boundary layer. In addition, detailed flow field measurements have been performed using 2-D time resolved PIV with a view to enabling the identification of drag reduction mechanism.

The reduction of $CO_2$ emissions has been a key target in the Marine Industry since the IMO's Marine Environment Protection Committee published its findings in 2009. The representative emission index is termed as the EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index) for the new ships. Among various flow control techniques ever proposed, the air lubrication method is the one of most promising one in terms of practical applicability. The present study examines the basic characteristics of the flat plate test with intention of applying the air lubrication technology to the reduction of the resistance of a ship. Image analysis technique is proposed as a tool to quantify the effectiveness of the air lubrication method.
