In this paper, we manufactured portable inflatable kayak using ultra high pressure drop stitch. by improving inflatable kayaks' performance with a design using the extra-high-voltage special space paper, they were manufactured to go near to performance of hard shell kayaks. The kayaks were manufactured having all merits of the performance of hard shell kayaks and functionality and portability of the inflatable kayaks, and through performance evaluation of test products, the performance was compared with previous hard shell kayaks. About 6 knot of target speed in the verification result of resistance performance, the developed kayak was more excellent than the HOBIE-KONA kayak by 12.33%. In case of same displacement in a result of inclination test, the centroid of the developed kayak was less distributed by 22.7% than the HOBIE-KONA kayak, based on the bottoms of the ships. This makes the difference for righting arm (GZ) lessened to some degree because the developed kayak is lower than the HOBIE-KONA kayak in the centroid. In the dynamic stability of ship bodies, the HOBIE-KONA kayak showed a little excellent performance. However, in rudder force and resistance factor, the developed kayak was more outstanding than the HOBIE-KONA kayak.

Cause analysis of surface pitting crack on a waterjet impeller was conducted. The waterjet impeller was made from stainless steel duplex 2205, which is more resistant to corrosion and local corrosion than typical stainless steel 316L and 317L, and has high mechanical strength, making it a useful material in various marine structures and seawater desalination facilities. The measurements were taken by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and molecular ecological detection. The chemical composition of S was examined by SEM in the area of pitting corrosion. The dsrAB gene was detected on the sample of the pitting corrosion of the impeller through molecular ecological detection. Therefore, pitting corrosion on the surface of a waterjet impeller was caused by sulphite-reducing bacteria (SRB). To prevent the spread of SRB, management is required through high temperature treatments (over 65℃), pH management, or the insulation of a hull and waterjet.

To cope with international regulations, such as Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI), Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) and so forth, and to enforce limitations on $CO_2$ emissions, green-ship technology to lower fuel consumption has been actively researched, and the development of an energy-saving device (ESD) is being pursued. In order to design an ESD for small and medium-sized domestic vessels, an analysis on flow characteristics has been performed in the present study. Through a model test and numerical analyses, the characteristics of flow around the stern bilge and bulb have been compared to improve wake quality and resistance performance. As a result of these comparisons and analyses, a vertical plate has been adopted,, as a new ESD. Design criteria for the proposed ESD are also suggested. By applying this new ESD, it is expected that the total resistance and average nominal wake can be reduced by 3.04 % and 18.8 %, respectively.

Planing hull form is widely used as a high speed vessel hull. There is a problem of the planing hull not solved yet. The problem is that the planing hull has very large vertical acceleration and large heave and pitch motions. As one method for overcoming this problem, there is "wave-piercing hull". Before the motion in waves is investigated, the resistance and running attitude must be investigated. In this paper, the running attitude and resistance of two wave-piercing hulls are investigated by model tests. Model test results show that the wave-piercing hulls have large trim angle and sinkage at the high speed, so additional model tests are conducted by using the hull appended by stern interceptor that is very thin plate to increase the hydrodynamic pressure at the attached location. The results are compared with other planing hulls and the resistance components and the hydrodynamic force are discussed. From the model test results, it can be known that the stern interceptor is the effective appendage for the reduction of the resistance and trim angle of wave-piercing hull.

This paper presents a numerical simulation method for the flow around advancing ships in regular waves by using a rectilinear grid system. Because the grid lines do not consist with body surface in the rectilinear grid system, the body geometries are defined by the interaction points of those grid lines and the body surface. For the satisfaction of body boundary conditions, no-slip and divergence free conditions are imposed on the body surface and body boundary cells, respectively. Meanwhile, free surface is defined with the modified marker density method. The pressure on the free surface is determined to make the pressure gradient terms of the governing equations continuous, and the velocity around the free surface is calculated with the pressure on the free surface. To validate the present numerical method, a vortex induced vibration (VIV) phenomenon and flows around an advancing Wigley III ship model in various regular waves are simulated, and the results are compared with existing and corresponding research data. Also, to check the applicability to practical ship model, flows around KRISO Container Ship (KCS) model advancing in calm water are numerically simulated. On the simulations, the trim and the sinkage are set free to compare the running attitude with some other experimental data. Moreover, flows around the KCS model in regular waves are also simulated.

최근 국민 소득향상과 더불어, 여가시간 증가에 따라 해양레저에 대한 관심이 크게 높아지고 있으며, 그에 따라 레저용 선박 수요도 증가하고 있다. 기존 국내 소형 선박의 경우 FRP(fiber-reinforced plastic)재료로 선박을 건조해 왔다. 그러나 해양환경 규제 강화로 FRP 선박의 건조가 감소하고 있으며, 친환경 선박에 대한 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 따라서 FRP재료를 대체하는 선박용 재료로 친환경적이고 가벼운 소재인 알루미늄 합금 재료가 선박건조 분야에서 각광을 받고 있다. 특히 5000계열 Al-Mg 합금은 가공성과 용접성이 우수하여 주로 구조용으로 많이 사용되고 있으나 경량화에 따른 빠른 선속이 유체충격을 증가시켜 선체에 캐비테이션 손상을 일으킬 수 있다. Al-Mg 합금의 경우에 부식성이 대단히 큰 해양환경에서 부식과 캐비테이션 침식이 복합적으로 일어나면 손상이 빠르게 증가되는 경향을 나타내어 선박의 수명을 현저히 단축시켜 경제적인 손실을 초래한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 해수 내에서 Al-Mg 합금의 캐비테이션 저항성을 향상시키기 위해 알루미늄 합금 표면에 내식성 뿐만 아니라 경도 및 내마모성 등의 기계적 특성이 우수한 산화피막을 형성시키는 양극산화 기술을 적용하고, 다양한 봉공처리(sealing)방법에 따른 캐비테이션 특성을 평가하였다. 캐비테이션 실험은 압전(piezoelectric) 효과를 이용한 진동발생 장치를 사용하여 $30{\mu}m$ 진폭으로 일정하게 유지하였으며, 시편과 혼 팁 사이의 간격은 1mm로 하였다. 캐비테이션 실험 후에는 시편을 초음파 세척하여 진공 건조기에서 24시간 이상 건조한 후 정밀저울로 무게를 측정하였으며, 표면 손상 형상을 분석하기 위해 주사전자현미경(SEM)과 3D현미경을 이용하여 관찰하였다.

Ever increasing fuel prices, almost doubled in the last three years, and global pressure to reduce their environmental impact have been enforcing commercial vessel operators and designers to re-assess current vessel designs with emphasis on their propulsion systems and operational practices. In this paper the "Inclined Keel Hull (IKH)" concept, which facilitates to use larger propeller diameter in combination with lower shaft speed rates and hence better transport efficiency, is explored for a modern 3600 TEU container vessel with the aim of fitting an 13 % larger diameter propeller (and hence resulting 20% lower rpm) to gain further power saving over the similar size basis container ship with conventional "level keel" configuration. It appears that successful application of the "inclined keel Hull" concept is a fine balance amongst the maximum gain in propulsive efficiency, minimum increase in hull resistance and satisfaction of other naval architectural and operational requirements. In order to make the concept economically more viable, this paper concentrates on the fore body design with the possible combination of increase of volume in its fore body to recover the expected volume loss in the aft body due to the space for larger propeller and its low wave-making resistance to minimize the efficiency loss using a well-established optimization software.

When a ship is berthing on the pier using a mooring rope, excessive ship speeds may cause accidents where mooring rope is cut off. In order to prevent the mooring rope from breaking, there is need to know the approach speed limit of the ship. The purpose of this study is to estimate the berthing speed limit of a ship to prevent mooring fracture. Focus will be made to when the speed of the ship is unknown. In this study, we propose a method and procedure for estimating the berthing-speed limit based on the theory of ship resistance and the elasticity of the mooring rope. This method was found to be effective as it was observed that the mooring rope cannot be broken when it is estimated that the berthing-speed of a 135K LNG vessel, IWRC, and $6{\times}36$ steel wire mooring rope. The method proposed in this study will significantly contribute to preventing actual accidents related to mooring lines.

The reduction of CO2 emission has been discussed in the Marine Environment Protection committee in the International Maritime Organization as the biggest causes of GHG for the purpose of indexing CO2 amounts released into the atmosphere from ships. Accordingly, various methods including the change in the hull design to improve energy efficiency, the coating development to reduce friction resistances, the additives development for improving thermal efficiency in an engine, the low-speed operation to reduce fuel consumptions, and etc. have been applied. The main engine of a ship is an electronic engine for improving the efficiency of the whole load area. However, marine generator engines still use mechanical drive engines in intake, exhaust, and fuel injection valve drive cams. In addition, most of marine generator engines in ships apply a part-load operation of less then 80% due to an overload protection system. Therefore, marine auxiliary diesel engine set at 100% load is necessary to readjust in order to efficient operation because of part-load operation. The objective of this study is to report the results of the part-load fuel consumption improvement by injection timing readjust to identifying the operational characteristics of a marine generator engine currently operated in a ship.

Depression in the medically ill is a common clinical problem that primary physicians and psychiatric consultants encounter. Treatment of such patients begins with a careful evaluation of the patient's medical and psychiatric conditions. The assessment of depression in the medical patients requires a multidimensional approach. Psychological instruments are also used as a method of assessment in these patients. First of all, what the therapists have to do is to find and remove organic causes. Psychosoical treatment includes dealing with the patient's resistance and despondency relevant to physical diseases. For biological treatment, it is important to select appropriate antidepressants. Therapists should be familiar with the side effects of the antidepressants as well as the patient's primary depressive symptoms, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the available agents. In addition, special attention should be paid to the potential for drug-illness and drug-drug interactions. Tricyclic antidepressants can be still effectively used for patients with pain disorder, although a variety of new antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), bupropion and venlafaxine could have more benefits in depression of the medically ill. However, electroconvulsive therapy can be recommended for refractory cases of depression in patients with medical illness.
