Generally, the propeller shaft that constitutes the ship shaft system has different patterns of behavior due to the ef ects of engine power, propeller load and eccentric thrust, which increases the risk of bearing failure by causing local load variations. To prevent this, different studies of the propulsion shaft system have been conducted focused the relative inclination angle and oil film retention between the shaft and the support bearing, mainly with respect to the Rules for the Classification of Steel Ships. However, in order to secure the stability of the propulsion shaft via a more detailed evaluation, it is necessary to consider dynamic conditions, including the transient state due to sudden change in the stern wakefield. In this context, a 50,000 DWT vessel was analyzed using the strain gauge method, and the effects of propeller shaft movement were analyzed on the starboard rudder turn which is a typical transient state during normal continuous rate(NCR) operation in ballast draught condition. Analysis results confirm that the changed propeller eccentric thrust acts as a force that temporarily pushes down the shaft to increase the local load of the stern tube bearing and negatively affects the stability of the shaft system.

International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulates an emission of greenhouse gases by creating an Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) to reduce environmental pollution. In propulsion system field, studies are under way on Energy Saving Device (ESD), which can improve propulsion efficiency with the propeller, to reduce the EEDI. Among the studies, the study of Pre-Swirl Stator (PSS) has been actively conducted from long time ago. Recently the variable pith angle type pre-swirl stator has been studied to improve the propulsion efficiency in non-uniform flow fields of the Stern. However, for traditional design methods, no specific design method has been established on the blade or location of radius. In this study, proper design method is proposed for each blade or location for radius according to hydrodynamic pitch angle.

The objective of this study is to investigate flow characteristics of a underwater vehicle by installing pins, using CFD method with a commercial code FLUENT version 6.3.26. To verify the reliability of the computation, the drag is compared the CFD with the experimental test. The drag is increased about 15% by installing 4 pins. At the stern of the body, the turbulent flow is generated by installing pins. Also, the results showed that the drag increase in the stern of the body, not in the pins.

선박에너지 개발을 위한 미래의 유력한 추진체로서 초전도 자력장을 이용한 선박을 들 수 있는데 이와 같은 경우에는 실험을 하기에는 비용이 엄청나게 소요되고 설비 자체가 복잡하기 때문에 CFD를 이용해서 초기 계\ulcorner을 구상하고 선체 주위의 유동장의 제어 및 기초 설계를 하여야 할 것이다. CFD계산을 통해 일반적으로 얻을 수 있는 것은 -압력 분포 -자유 표면 파고 -유속 분포 -유선 추적 -선체 표면의 응력 분포 -한계 유선 분포 -선미 와류 생성 과정 -선체 저항 계산 등으로 선형 개발에 필요한 기본 자료들이다. 여기서 CFD의 유용가치를 강조할 수 있는데 위의 많은 데이터를 실험을 통해서 얻으려면 막대한 경비와 노력이 투입되어야 한다. 또한 현재의 실험 시설로는 정량적으로 측정할 수 없는 부분도 일부 있다. CFD의 경우는 그러한 어려움은 없으나 꼭 필요한 것이 수치계산의 검증이다. 계산 결과의 유효성(validity)을 검증해야 한다는 의미이다. 계산은 실험을 통하여 반드시 비교 검토가 이루어져야 하며 이의 수단으로 선박 분 야에서는 Wigley 모형이나 Series 60와 같은 것들이 사용되고 잇다. 당 연구소의 저항추진연구 실에서는 CFD의 연구가 수년 전부터 소수의 인원을 중심으로 이루어져 왔다. 이와 관련하여 대표적인 몇 가지만 소개하고자 한다.

Three-dimensional turbulent flows over ship sterns are measured by using the hot-wire anemometer and static holes in the wind tunnel. A conventional stern and a barge-type stern are adopted for the present study. Three components of mean velocities, pressures on the hull and six components of Reynolds stresses are measured. Longitudinal velocity contours are more parallel to the hull surface and weak bilge vortices appear on the barges type stern rather than the conventional stern. Those viscous flow patterns may have close relations to improvements of the resistance and propulsion performance, which have been verified in the towing tests. Measured data files are valuable for the ensuing numerical studies.

Twin-skeg type stern shapes are recently adopted for very large commercial ships. However it is difficult to apply a CFD system to a hull form having twin-skeg, since grid topology around a twin-skeg type stern is more complicated than that of a conventional single-screw ship, or of an open-shaft type twin-screw ship with center-skeg. In the present study a surface mesh generator and a multi-block field grid generation program have been developed for twin-skeg type stern. Furthermore, multi-block flow solvers are utilized for potential and viscous flow analysis around a twin-skeg type stern The present computational system is applied to a 15,000TEU container ship with twin-skeg to prove the applicability. Wave profiles and wake distribution are calculated using the developed flow analysis tools and the results are compared with towing tank measurements.

It is important to understand the flow characteristics such as wave and wake development around a ship for the design of the hull forms with better resistance and propulsive performance. The experimental results explicating the local flow characteristics are also invaluable for validation of the physical and numerical modeling of CFD codes, which are recently gaining acknowledgements as efficient tools for hull form evaluation This paper describes velocity and wave profiles measured in the towing tank for the KRISO 138K LNG Carrier (KLNG) model with propeller and rudder. The results contained in this paper can provide the valuable information on the effect of propeller and rudder on stern flow characteristics of the modern commercial hull form, furthermore, the present experimental data will provide important database for CFO validation.

Hull-propeller-rudder interactions are studied by the iterative computational procedures. Hull effects on the propeller are reflected through the effective velocities computed by the vortex ring method which used the measured nominal wake as input data. A potential based panel method has been developed to solve the propeller-rudder interactions using the obtained effective velocities. Steady flow characteristics around the rudder surface can be obtained by computing the induced velocities on the rudder by the propeller and vice versa are computed by the iterative manner until the converged solutions are obtained. Flow characteristics around the propeller and the rudder are measured by Laser Doppler Velocimetry(L.D.V.) in large cavitation tunnel at Samsung Heavy industries. The gap flow model is adopted to solve the characteristics of the horn rudder. Numerical results are compared with the experimental values and the computed velocity fields and pressure distributions with rudder angle on the horn rudder surface show good agreement with measured ones in large cavitation tunnel.

The primary objective of the current work is to predict speed performance of the medium patrol boat over $F_N=0.5$ employing experimental materials based on the CFD before model tests. In other words, the predicted brake powers according to ship speeds are assessed satisfying the main engine capacity. The subject ships are selected the two different stern hull forms. The flow computation are conducted considering free surface and dynamic trim using a commercial CFD code(STAR-CCM+). The resistances of the bare-hull are obtained from CFD. Wave patterns, pressures and limiting streamlines on the hull and velocity distribution in the propeller plane for the two hull forms are compared using CFD. The effective powers of the object ships are assessed based on CFD. Resistance increase according to the attached appendages and quasi-propulsive efficiency are employed the experimental datas. Speed performance prediction method concerning high speed vessels like a medium patrol boat is developed employing CFD and experimental data.

In the paper the effect of a stern-plate attached to a ship was taken into account. The relationship between the trim angle of a ship and the wave-resistance coefficient induced by the a stern-plate was studied using the potential flow analysis method. Numerical algorithm was described using the panel method and the vortex lattice method(VLM) to simulate the flow phenomena around a ship. The non-linearity of the free surface boundary conditions were considered using the iterative method and the IGE-GMRES(Incomplete Gaussian Elimination-The Generalized Minimal RESidual) algorithm was adopted to solve the linear equation at each iterative step. Numerical calculations were carried out to investigate the validity of the adopted algorithm using KCS(KRISO 3600 TEU Container) hull. Possible cases for attachment of the plate were checked. The results showed that the numerical algorithm could be physically appropriate.
