본 논문에서는 수중익 버블 캐비테이션과 날개 끝 볼텍스 캐비테이션의 거동 및 소음을 Eulerian-Lagrangian 기법을 이용하여 수치적으로 해석하였다. Eulerian-Lagrangian 기법은 캐비테이션 버블이 유동장에 미치는 영향이 거의 없다는 가정하에 유동장과 캐비테이션 거동을 일방으로 연계하여 해석하는 방식이다. 수중익 버블 캐비테이션 해석을 위한 유동장은 비압축성 RAMS 방정식을 해석하여 구하고 날개 끝 볼텍스 캐비테이션 유동장은 일반적 CFD 기법의 큰 수치 소산으로 그 특성이 잘 나타나지 않으므로 Sculley 볼텍스 모델을 이용하여 해석한다. 해석한 유동장 정보를 입력치로 하고 버블의 지배 방정식인 Rayleigh-Plesset 방정식과 Newton의 제2법칙에 근거한 궤적 방정식을 연계하여 캐비테이션의 성장-붕괴와 운동을 예측한다. 계산된 거동 정보를 이용하여 버블 캐비테이션과 날개 끝 볼텍스 캐비테이션의 소음을 예측하였다. 본 연구는 수중 운동체에서 발생하는 캐비테이션의 거동과 소음의 특성을 파악하고 그에 따른 대비책을 마련하는 기본 연구로서 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

An analytical method for predicting the velocity potential around a pulsating bubble close to a free or rigid wall was established using an image method. Because the velocity potential should satisfy two boundary conditions at the bubble surface and rigid wall, we investigated the velocity in the normal direction at the two boundaries by adding the image bubbles. The potential was analyzed by decomposing the bubble motion as two independent motions, pulsation and translation, and we found that when the number of image bubbles was greater than ten, the two boundary conditions were satisfied for the translation term. By adding many image bubbles after the approximation of the pulsation term, we also confirmed that the boundary condition at the wall was satisfied.

Underwater noise radiated from submarines is directly related to the probability of being detected by the sonar of an enemy vessel. Therefore, minimizing the noise of a submarine is essential for improving survival outcomes. For modern submarines, as the speed and size of a submarine increase and noise reduction technology is developed, interest in flow noise around the hull has been increasing. In this study, a noise analysis technique was developed to predict flow noise generated around a submarine shape considering the free surface effect. When a submarine is operated near a free surface, turbulence-induced noise due to the turbulence of the flow and bubble noise from breaking waves arise. First, to analyze the flow around a submarine, VOF-based incompressible two-phase flow analysis was performed to derive flow field data and the shape of the free surface around the submarine. Turbulence-induced noise was analyzed by applying permeable FW-H, which is an acoustic analogy technique. Bubble noise was derived through a noise model for breaking waves based on the turbulent kinetic energy distribution results obtained from the CFD results. The analysis method developed was verified by comparison with experimental results for a submarine model measured in a Large Cavitation Tunnel (LCT).

Depressurization occurs around underwater objects moving at high speeds. This causes cavitation nuclei to expand, resulting in cavitation. Cavitation is accompanied by an increase in noise and vibration at the site, particularly in the case of thrusters, and this has a detrimental ef ect on propulsion performance. Therefore, predicting cavitation is necessary. In this study, an analytical method for cavitation noise is developed and applied to an elliptic wing. First, computational fluid dynamics are performed to obtain information about the flow fields around the wing. Then, through the cavitation nuclei density function, number of cavitation nuclei is calculated using the initial radius of the nuclei and nuclei are randomly placed in the upstream with large pressure drop around the wing tip. Bubble dynamics are then applied to each nucleus using a Lagrangian approach for noise analysis and to determine cavitation behavior. Cavitation noise is identified as having the characteristics of broadband noise. Verification of analytical method is performed by comparing experimental results derived from the large cavitation tunnel at the Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering.

The boundary layer developing over the suction surface of a first-stage turbine blade for power generation has been investigated in this study. For three locations selected in the region where local thermal load changes dramatically, mean velocity, turbulence intensity, and one-dimensional energy spectrum are measured with a hot-wire anemometer. The results show that the suction-surface boundary layer suffers a transition from a laminar flow to a turbulent one. This transition is confirmed to be a "separated-flow transition", which usually occurs in the shear layer over a separation bubble. The local minimum thermal load on the suction surface is found at the initiation point of the transition, whereas the local maximum thermal load is observed at the location of very high near-wall turbulence intensity after the transition process. Frequency characteristics of turbulent kinetic energy before and after the transition are understood clearly from the energy spectrum data.
