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.

울진 1호기는 88년 9월 상업운전을 시작한 이래 96년 1월 현재 약 320다발의 사용후연료가 인출되어 연료저장조에 저장되어 있다. 이 저장량은 기존의 허용저장용량을 초과하는 양으로서 초과분은 지난해 3월 설치한 임시 저장대에 저장해 왔다. 최근 울진원자력본부에서는 현재 사용중인 저장조의 저장능력을 가능한 한도까지 확장하기 위해 기존 저장대를 고밀도 저장대로 교체$\cdot$설치하여, 2008년까지 발생되는 사용후연료를 저장할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 공사는 사용후연료 저장조에 고방사선 준위의 사용후연료가 저장되어 있는 상태에서 수행된 국내 최초의 공사로서, 수중작업을 수상작업으로 작업방법을 변경$\cdot$수행하였다. 그 추진경위와 의의 등을 살펴본다.

The supercavitating rocket torpedo SHKVAL was analyzed in view of its system operation procedure and the structure and performance. 3 different propulsion systems installed in SHKVAL were 1st solid rocket booster for launch and acceleration, 2nd solid rocket booster for further acceleration, and Mg-rich Hydroreactive fuel rocket propulsion system for cruising. The gas generator used to help generate the supercavitation bubble was composed of a solid propellant gas generator and a hydroreactive fuel one. The structures and their performance were described based on as much knowledge as we have obtained from cumulative information and up-to-date analysis.

Hydro-Reactive metal Fuel (HRF) which has more fuel than general solid propellant reducing oxidizing agent is suitable for ultrahigh speed rocket motor in the water. However, burning rate of HRF has not been studied yet. Through the earlier studies, we established ultrasonics measurement system measuring burning rate of solid propellant as a function of pressure in a single test and verified its reliability. In this paper, we will measure burning rate of HRF using ultrasound with previous development measurement system.

When a projectile travels at high speed underwater, supercavitating flowarises, in which a huge cavity is generated behind the projectile so that only the nose, i.e., the cavitator, of the projectile is wetted, while the rest of it should be surrounded by the cavity. In that case, the projectile can achieve very high speed due to the reduced drag. Furthermore if the nose of the body is shaped properly, the attendant pressure drag can be maintained at a very low value, so that the overall drag is also reduced dramatically. In this study, shape optimization technique is employed to determine the optimum cavitator shape for minimum drag, given certain operating conditions. Simultaneous optimization technique is proposed for efficient cavitator shape optimization, in which the cavity and cavitator shape are determined in a single optimization routine.

Supercavitating vehicles which cruise under water undergo high longitudinal force caused by thrust and drag. These combination may cause structural buckling. Static and dynamic buckling analysis method by using FEM can be used to predict this structural failure behavior. In this paper, some principles which include method for solution eigenvalue problem for buckling analysis are introduced. And before buckling analysis, we predicted some mode shape and natural frequency of cylindrical shell by using DIAMOND/IPSAP eigen-solver.

The interaction between artificial fish and aquatic surroundings and the fish's realistic locomotion are very important elements to construct virtual aquariums. In general, the artificial fish in virtual aquariums used to be created by 3D modeling tools, and was repeatedly showing the simple and constant form of swimming. This paper will analyze the sorts of biological forms of fish-swimming and the propelling and turning characteristics. Then, we propose a method of the basic swimming and turning of artificial fish to generate various and natural-looking locomotion. It is possible to make a explorable virtual aquarium more immersive by using interactive interfaces together.

Flow mechanism of contractive and dilative motion is numerically investigated to obtain a propulsive force in highly viscous fluid, which is the simulation of the propulsion in micro-organisms. The computing code for the analysis of complicated motions is developed with cell-centered unstructured grid scheme. The developed code is validated by the well-known problems of cavity flow and oscillating wall. The validated code is applied to the contractive and dilative motion in narrow tube. The computed results are compared with nodal points scheme. By the present results, it is found that propulsive force can be obtained by the contractive and dilative motion through simulation with the developed code.

Submarines, which require a high degree of survivability, are among the most critical combat weapon systems in military strategic assets. Conventional submarines need air to operate their propulsion systems. Exhaust gases released into the water during snorkel navigation heat the surrounding fluid, producing a temperature wake. This wake, in turn, reduces the submarine's survivability. In this study, we conducted a preliminary experiment on the temperature traces formed by an underwater submarine's waste discharge. For this purpose, we collected propulsion system and navigation condition data from domestically introduced submarines and developed an experimental system to measure the temperature traces. As a result, we observed that high-temperature bubbles injected into the tank broke down into smaller sizes, and their temperature dropped to levels similar to the surrounding fluid. This observation was confirmed using a thermocouple sensor. Consequently, the thermal imaging system designed to measure the temperature trace of the water's surface did not detect any significant temperature traces.
