Turbulent boundary layer over an underwater vehicle is formed when it moves underwater and wall pressure fluctuation within the turbulent boundary layer generates flow-induced noise by exciting the elastic hull of the underwater vehicle. One of the methods to reduce this flow noise is to attach a compliant layer on the surface of the vehicle. In order to observe the possibility of noise reduction in the water when the compliant layer treatments are applied on the surface, three types of specimens those are a bare steel plate, a steel plate coated with neoprene and a steel plate with polyurethane coating material are tested at various flow speeds in a low noise cavitation tunnel. This paper presents the results of measurements and analysis of wall pressure fluctuations which is a main source of flow noise, within the turbulent boundary layer on three specimens. Its results could be shown that about 10dB reduction of wall fluctuation pressure at high frequencies was achieved due to the dissipation of turbulent energy by the compliant coating while it makes the turbulent boundary layer thicker and changes the behavior of turbulent flow in the layer.

it is well observed in the ocean that the surface disturbances due to rain, wind and breaking waves generate bubble clouds several meters deep from the water surfaces. Thses kinds of bubble clouds can work as a physical mechanism to produce underwater ambient noise. In the laboratory experiment observing the noise generated from a bubble cloud we showed a role of individual bubbles in collective oscillations of a bubble cloud. The experimental data agree very well with the theoretical predictions. These results confirm that the collective oscillations of a bubble cloud is one of the more likely mechanisms for an ocean ambient noise source around several hundred hertz.

수중운동체가 수중에서 진행할 때 외부 파도에 의한 불확실한 부하 저항을 받으므로 이에 대응하는 핀(조타) 구동부의 제어 문제를 고려한다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 제어기는 본체로부터의 지정 각도를 부여 받으면 이에 부응하여 핀의 각도와 각속도를 이용하여 제어기의 알고리즘을 구축하여 지정된 경로를 추적하게 한다. 또한 핀의 각속도 정보의 이용이 부득이 어려운 상황에 대처하기 위하여 핀의 각도만을 이용한 출력제어기나 추정기를 설계하여 주위 환경의 불확실성을 극복할 수 있는 제어기를 제안한다. DC서보 모터로 구성괸 핀 구동부에 대해 실제 데이터를 사용하여 제안된 제어기의 성능을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증한다.

본 논문에서는 수상 및 수중운동체의 안정성 및 안정화기법에 관해 고찰한다. 선박이 운동을 하게 되면 부가질량이 변하게 되고 대칭인 시스템행렬이 비대칭이 된다. 비대칭성에 따라 시스템의 안정성해석방법도 달라지는데 예를 들어 가속도 피드백을 통해 비대칭요소를 제거하여 대칭으로 변환시키는 것이 가장 대표적인 해석 및 안정화 기법이다. 시스템 모델자체는 어디까지나 모델이기 때문에 대상시스템을 명확하게 수식으로 표현할 수 없으므로 피드백에 의한 비대칭요소를 소거시키는 방법은 타당하지 못하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 대칭행렬이 비대칭행렬로 변하는 제약에 구애받지 않는, 보다 일반성을 갖는 안정성해석법을 제안한다.

대표적인 잠수함 발사 유도탄의 수중에서의 발사 개념에 대한 기술 동향을 분석하였다. 세계 각 국의 수중 발사 유도탄 중 발사 형태가 특히 다른 Tomahawk, Sub Hapoon, Exocet SM39 유도탄에 대하여 그 발사 방법에 따른 기술 동향과 장단점을 비교 분석하였다. 대표적인 서방 세계 수중 발사 유도탄인 Tomahawk는 여러 가지 다른 형태가 있지만 잠수함 발사는 Wet Capsule에 의해 보호되며 어뢰 발사관을 이용하여 압축수에 의해 수중으로 배출되는데 잠수함과의 안전거리에서 견일줄이 유도탄 진행에 따라 장력을 발생 부스터를 점화시킨다. 이 부스터에 의해 수면까지 부상하며 부스터에 설치되어 있는 수중궤적 제어용 Jet-Tab이 수중운동을 제어한다. 수면에서 부스터의 추진력에 의해 대기로 진입하는데 일정속도 이상으로 가속된 후 부스터를 분리시키며 Turbo 엔진이 점화되어 계속 비행하게 된다.(중략)

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of exercise on a hemiparkinsonian rat model. Nigrostriatal dopamine cell lesions were produced by injecting 6-hydroxydopamine at the left medial forebrain bundle of rats. In this study, the rats were divided into the following 4 groups: the control group without any exercise, experimental group I with aqua-exercise (Exp I), experimental group II with balance exercise (Exp II) and experimental group III with complex exercise (aqua-exercise+balance exercise; (Exp III)). Exercises were applied to all the experimental groups after the operation. In order to observe the dopaminergic cell loss, we assessed the level of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) expression in the midbrain of rats, and performed the apomorphine-induced rotation test at postoperative days (PDs) 7, 14, and 21. Experimental groups had significantly higher TH-immunoreactivity and behavioral performance than the control group. However, there was no difference in TH-immunoreactivity and behavioral performance across the experimental groups. These results suggest that the application of aqua-exercise and balance exercise could suppress dopaminergic cell loss in the substantia nigra of rat brains and could increase behavioral recovery in hemiparkinsonian rats.

The purpose of this study was to identify influencing factors adherence and dropout of aquatic exercise in patients who had been diagnosed chronic arthritis. Subjects were 54 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis who had participated in the 6-week aquatic exercise program in Taejon metropolitan city. Data was collected from march 25 to April 25, 1999 through face to face and telephone interview. Result are as follows. Fourteen subjects(26.0%) were adherer who was keeping aquatic exercise. The reasons of aquatic exercise adherence were improvements of physical and affectional factors. And the major reasons of dropout was an environment factors(65.8%) and second reasons was physical factors(34.2%). Participants of friends(r=.34, p=.014) was significantly associated with the total duration of an aquatic exercise adherence. For these results, the nurse who care to patients with arthritis have to encourage to maintain aquatic exercise within six month after they begin aquatic exercise.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationships among network centrality, psychological well-being (PWBS), and intention to exercise maintenance in participants of an aquatic exercise program. Methods: Using a single-experimental design, 17 osteoarthritis patients participated in an aquatic exercise program. The questionnaire to connect the network of members was used to peer nomination by Moreno (1953). Data were analyzed with the UCINET using centrality (degree, closeness, betweenness) and SPSS using descriptive statistics, wilcoxon signed ranked test, and spearman's rho. Results: Closeness centrality, PWBS, and intention to exercise maintenance were significantly different between 4 weeks and 8 weeks. At 4 weeks, PWBS was positively correlated with closeness centrality. Intention to exercise maintenance was positively correlated with degree, closeness, and betweenness centrality. At 8 weeks, PWBS was positively correlated with closeness centrality. Intention to exercise maintenance was positively correlated with closeness centrality. Conclusion: The aquatic exercise program can be effective in increasing closeness centrality, psychological well-being, and intention to exercise maintenance. This was the first study attempted to analyze construction of member relationships in osteoarthritis patients participating an exercise program by using social network analysis.

Many countries are paying efforts to the research and development of water-breathing ramjet propulsion for submersible vehicle with the super-cavitation which makes traveling at high speed in underwater possible. In this study, a conceptual design of an underwater vehicle with water-breathing ramjet was carried out. Mission profiles and operating conditions are determined by examining the operation environment. Drag is estimated based on the theories of super-cavitation and fluid mechanics. The sizing and performance analysis of the components were performed using thrust required, thrust and specific impulse of designed engine were verified.

In this study, a dynamics model was developed to predict the motion performance of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). The dynamics model includes basic dynamic state variables of the hull and force terms to determine the motion of the AUV. The affecting terms for the forces are hydrostatic force, added mass, hydrodynamic damping, lift and drag forces. The force terms can be calculated using analytical and Computational Fluid Dynamics methods. For the underwater motion simulation, a simple PD controller was used. Also, the AUV was tested in a water tank and near sea for the partial verification of the fluid drag force coefficients and way-point tracking motions.
