This study performed to investigate the propagation characteristics of overpressure, impulse, vibration in underwater blasting. The difference between air blasting and underwater blasting is that noise and vibration propagate through water as a medium. In some cases, the noise and vibration propagates through various media (rock, water, air, etc.). In this study, the underwater blasting was simulated using AUTODYN, and the propagation characteristics of overpressure, impulse and vibration induced by blasting were analyzed. We mainly focused on the effect of mesh size on the overpressure, impulse and peak particle velocity from the underwater blasting simulation. The numerical results indicated that the overpressure and peak particle velocity tended to decrease as the mesh size increased, while the impulse increased with the mesh size. The results also indicated that the mesh dependence varied depending on the explosive charge and scaled distance.

In this study, each component of flow noise source of underwater propeller installed to the scale model of the KVLCC2 is investigated and the effect of each noise source on underwater-radiated noise is quantitatively analyzed. The computation domain is set to be the same as the test section of the large cavitation tunnel in the Korea Research Institute of Ship and Ocean Engineering. First, for the high-resolution computation of flow field which is noise source region, the incompressible multiphase Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation is performed. Based on flow simulation results, the Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings integral equation is used to predict underwater-radiated noise and its validity is confirmed through the comparison with the tunnel experiment result. For the quantitative comparison on the contribution of each noise source, the spectral levels of sound pressure and power levels predicted using propeller tip-vortex cavitation, blade surface and rudder surface as the integral region of noise sources are investigated. It is confirmed that the cavitation which is monopole noise source significantly contributed to the underwater-radiated noise than propeller blades and rudder which is dipole noise source, and the rudder have more contribution than propeller blades due to the influence of the propeller wake.

프로펠러 캐비테이션은 선체진동 및 수중소음에 악영향을 끼치는 주요한 원인중의 하나로 생각되어왔다. 그러나 근래 선박의 고속화와 프로펠러 하중의 증가로 캐비테이션이 전혀 없는 프로펠러의 설계개념 적용은 사실상 불가능하다. 고스큐 프로펠러는 기존의 프로펠러와 비교하여 수중소음과 저주파 압력 펄스를 약하게 하는데 유리한 것으로 인식되고 있다. 변동압력에 대하여 프로펠러 스큐와 레이크의 영향을 조사하기 위하여 체계적인 실험을 캐비테이션 터널에서 수행하였으며 본 논문에서는 여러 가지 스큐와 레이크 분포를 갖는 모형 프로펠러에 대한 캐비테이션 관찰시험과 변동압력 계측결과에 대하여 논의하고 토론하였다. 연구 결과 고스큐는 균일류 및 불균일류에서 공히 변동압력 경감에 효ㄱ과가 있음이 확인되었는데 이는 아마도 날개에서의 캐비테이션 안정성에 의한 것으로 예측된다. 그러나 레이크는 날개에서의 캐비티 크기나 거동에 큰 영향을 주지 못하였으며, 변동압력이 또한 거의 같은 수준으로 나타나는 결과를 가져왔다.

수자원의 확보와 어류 서식 환경보전이라는 두 가지 측면은 수자원 이용이라는 목적하에 합의되기 어려운 문제를 가지고 있다. 점차적으로 수자원이 고갈되는 현시점에 효율적 물관리를 위해 최근에는 단절된 하천을 연결하기 위한 기술들이 개발되고 있으며, 이중 안정적인 물공급 시스템을 구축하기 위한 수중터널이 그러한 기술 중 하나이다. 수자원의 확보 측면에서는 의미가 있는 방법일 수 있으나 물리적으로 동떨어져 있던 서로 다른 환경을 연결하는 문제로 인한 부작용이 발생하는데 이중 외래어종 유입으로 인한 수중생물의 환경변화가 가장 큰 문제로 대두되고 있다. 이러한 문제를 방지하기 위해 어류의 이동을 차단하는 기술 또한 개발되고 있으며 그물망, 버블스크린, 빛, 소리를 이용한 다양한 방법을 통해 어류의 접근을 방지하고자 노력하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 차단시설 중 기포를 이용한 버블스크린과 관련하여 효율성을 높이기 위한 방법을 모색하고자 실제 버블의 상승속도에 영향을 미치는 여러 가지 불확실성 인자들에 대한 상관성과 인과관계를 검토하고자 하였다. 이를 위해서 외부적 원인에 대한 오차요소를 확인하고 결과값에 영향을 미치는 여러 가지 변수에 대하여 검토하고자 하는 실험연구를 수행하였다. 버블실험을 위한 수로는 길이 15m, 폭 1.5m 의 제원을 가지는 직선수로에서 수행하였으며, 버블 발생을 위한 튜브는 PVC 재질이며, 5cm 간격으로 1mm 직경을 갖는 파이프를 제작하여 활용하였다. 실험의 분석은 이미지를 이용한 방법을 사용하였으며 분석위치 및 버블사이즈 그리고 해석격자 크기에 대한 상관분석 및 회귀분석을 통해 각각 인자들과의 관계를 규명하고자 하였다.

For a hydro power plant project, the headrace tunnel having a finished diameter of 3.3 m was constructed in volcanic rocks with well-developed vertical joint and high groundwater table. The intake facility was located 20.3km upstream of the powerhouse and headrace tunnel of 20km in length and penstock of 440m in height connected the intake and the powerhouse. The typical caldera lake, Lake Toba set the geology at the site the caving of the ground caused tension cracks in the vertical direction to be developed and initial stresses at the ground to be released. High groundwater table(the maximum head of 20bar) in the area of well-connected vertical joints delayed the progress of tunnel excavation severely due to the excessive inflow of groundwater. The excavation of tunnel was made using open-shield type TBM and mucking cars on the rail. High volume of water inflowraised the water level inside tunnel to 70cm, 17% of tunnel diameter (3.9m) and hindered the mucking of spoil under water. To improve the productivity, several adjustments such as modification of TBM and mucking cars and increase in the number of submersible pumps were made forthe excavation of severe water inflow zone. Since the ground condition encountered during excavation turned out to be much worse, it was decided to adopt PC segment lining instead of RC lining. Besides, depending on the conditions of the water inflow, rock mass condition and internal water pressure, one of the invert PC segment lining with in-situ RC lining, RC lining and steel lining was applied to meet the site specific condition. With the adoption of PC segment lining, modification of TBM and other improvement, the excavation of the tunnel under severe groundwater condition was successfully completed.

In this study, experimental study on cement grout materials containing anti-washout admixtures or accelerators in grout column for reinforcement technology in groundwater-saturated mining cavity was conducted. As a result, the cement milk containing anti-washout admixtures was suitable for mixed aggregates, and the cement mortar containing anti-washout admixtures and the cement milk containing accelerators were suitable for crushed stone aggregate in terms of forming grout column. Especially, in the case of crushed stone aggregate injecting the cement milk containing accelerators, the diameter of the grout column was greatest and the void of the crushed stone aggregate was filled with grout materials. Therefore the case of crushed stone aggregate injecting the cement milk containing accelerators is considered for optimal grout materials and aggregate.

In this paper, the effect of mass injection on the control of tip vortex cavitation was studied experimentally. A mass injection system for a 3D hydrofoil was designed to control the location of injection as well as the injection rate. A series of cavitation tests were carried out in a cavitation tunnel for different injection locations and rates. The cavitation behaviour was observed using a high-speed camera and the corresponding noise was measured using a hydrophone installed in the observation window. The results showed that the tip vortex cavitation was suppressed under certain conditions and the noise was reduced in some frequency bands. It was also found that there is a location where the effect of mass injection could be maximized and hence the noise reduction.

In order to verify the lift enhancement of the 2D hydrofoil with trailing edge rotor and check the ability of its practical use, experimental studies were conducted in the caviation tunnel using the test model with NACA0020 section. The three-component forces acting on the model could be measured by exclusively designed sting type multi-component load cell. The trailing edge of the model has been replaced with rotor which could be controlled by DC servo motor installed at the exterior of the tunnel. A typical effect of the trailing edge rotor has been introduced among the systematic experiments on various angular deviation of the model and the rotational velocity of the trailing edge rotor. It is appeared that the circulation control effect could be easily adjusted by selecting the rotational velocity of the trailing edge rotor and the lift force was augmented more than two times. Thus the proposed lifting device could be utilized as a novel high lifting device which has adjustability of lift force.

Railway projects have been consistently increasing in Korea. In relation to this trend, the mechanized tunneling using Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) is preferably applied for mining urban areas and passing under rivers. The TBM tunneling under difficult grounds like mixed faces with high water pressure could require ground improvements for stable TBM advance or safe cutter head intervention (CHI). In this study, pre-grouting works for CHI in Daegok-Sosa railway project are presented in terms of the grouting zone design, the executions and the results, the lessons learned from the experience. It should be mentioned that the grouting from inside TBM was carried out several times and turned out to be inefficient in the project. Therefore, grouting experiences from the surface are highlighted in this study. Jet grouting was implemented on CHI points on land, while permeation grouting off shore in the Han River, which mostly allow to access the cutter head of TBM in free air with stable faces. The results of CHI works have been analyzed and the lesson learned are suggested.

In the present study, we investigated planing forces of supercavitated bodies by using the supercavitation shape produced by the disk type cavitator. The cavity shapes are observed to find the immersion draft and planing angle when the stern of the supercavitated body is partially immersed in the water. To make the planing the angle-of-attack (AOA) of the supercavitated body is varied statically against the main flow and the planing tests are carried out for different body shapes that are changed systematically. The drag, lift and pitch moment acting on the body are measured to understand the relation between the planing force and the immersion draft of the supercavitated body. It is found that the planing force increased in general linearly with the immersion draft ratio and the planing angle is certainly not proportional to the immersion draft ratio.
