워터제트(Waterjet) 추진의 개념은 선박용 스크류 프로펠러 만큼이나 오래 되었지만, 1960년대 까지도 많은 이용이 없었다. 왜냐하면 스크류 프로펠러가 더 간단하고 가벼우면서 훨씬 더 효 율적인 추진도구로 간주되어 왔기 때문이었다. 그러나 최근 수년 사이에 워터제트로 추진되는 세계적인 선박들 및 제작회사들의 수가 괄목할만한 증가를 보이고 있고, 선진국의 초고속선 개 발과 관령하여 워터제트 추진방식에 대한 새로운 시각에서의 연구가 활발히 진행되어지고 있 다[1]. 21세기 해상교통수당을 선도할 수 있으리라 판단되고 있는 초고속선 개발 연구를 수행하고 있는 선박·해양공학연구센터에서도 초고속선용 추진 장치로서 워터제트 추진기를 선택하였었 다[2]. 이러한 대표적인 이유로서는 종래의 일반적인 선박용 스크류 프로펠러로서는 고속 추진에 한계를 가지고 있는 반면, 워터제트 추진방식은 각 요소들의 최적 설계를 통해 고속에서의 추 진효율 향상을 꾀할 수 있기 때문이었다. 선진국에서는 이미 이러한 워터제트 추진에 대한 성 능해석 기법이 정립되어 있고[3], 중.소형 워터제트 추진기 제작을 통한 경험을 바탕으로 대출력 워터제트 추진기 개발도 가능한 단계이다[4]. 그러나 국내에서는 이에 대한 연구가 거의 없어 외국의 기술에 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 본 고에서는 워터제트 추진기의 기본적인 개념과 당 연구센타에서 수행하고 있는 모형시험법 개발 연구의 일부를 소개하고자 한다.

This study is on the development of 150PS inboard type of compact water jet propulsion system. The water jet is composed of intake, impeller, diffuser, reverse bucket and main shaft. Components of water jet have been manufactured through precision processing after sand casting. Development of water jet propelled engine has been finally completed by processes which are design, production and inspection on each component. The water jet performance characteristics show that 0.29 m3/s of maximum flow rate and 37 m/s of flow velocity have been secured in the ground test pool. Field test was performed by 21ft test ship that water jet propulsion equipment developed in this study was installed. As a result, the weight of hull, engine and other parts of the ship has been almost 1.2 ton and 45 km/h of maximum sailing speed has been recorded with 3700 rpm of engine in the domestic coast test.

A screw propeller is usually accepted as a propulsor of many kinds of ships. However, for high speed vessels, screw propeller has large cavitation area on the blades so propeller efficiency is decreased and erosion can be happened. To avoid this problem, supercavitating propeller and waterjet are generally used for high speed vessels. In this paper, we introduced the self-propulsion test procedure which has been developed for high speed vessels in Hyundai Maritime Research Institute. The model ship used in experiment represents catamaran about 5.3 m in length. To minimize the experimental errors, two impellers were driven by a single motor. Thrust was calculated by converting the measured pressure to flow rates at the nozzle exit. The test procedure is composed of resistance test, self propulsion test and analysis. In order to measure the pressure, pressure tabs were installed around the nozzle exit and connected to the pressure sensor by vinyl tube.

To repair the deteriorated concrete structures, the deteriorated parts should be removed by using surface treatment methods and replaced by new construction materials. Hydrodemolition is one of the most effective methods for chipping off the deteriorated concrete and treating the remaining concrete. The water jet can remove the deteriorated concrete without damaging the reinforcement steel and surrounding aggregates. Using the water jet system improves surface texture, which ensures to improve adhesive strength between new and old concretes. In this study, three different concrete slab strengths and two water jet machine sets were investigated. Experimental results showed the relationship between concrete strength and water jet condition and this would enable to provide the information of the domestic water jet system and specification, which would contribute to automatization and efficiency of concrete repairing and rehabilitation works.

Operational errors caused by human factors, which is the major cause of marine accidents, include lack of knowledge, misunderstanding knowledge, and inadequate procedures. Recently, the type of propulsion mounted on KCG cutters has been diversified. In particular, the water jet propulsion unit, which was mainly installed in small boats, have been gradually expanded to medium and large size Coast Guard cutters, reaching 50% of the total. Axes types are divided into 2 to 4, and the bucket types are divided into Double Reverse Bucket(DRB) and Single Reverse Bucket(SRB); in these, the backward and steering control methods are completely different. Diversification of these operating systems can increase factors causing human error by the ships' operators. However, there is a lack of research on the maneuvering methods, considering the inherent active characteristics of each type of water jet. In this paper, we analyze the sideway method suitable for the condition of Coast Guard Exclusive wharf without assistance, based on the astern performance of each type. Then, a ship handling simulator was used for the experiment; they compared and verified through interviews of captains.

Waterjet propulsion generally refers to propulsion of ships by internally mounted pumps with proper ducting. This arrangement of the actuator component of the system leads to the fundamental differences with respects to screw propeller system. In this paper, the basic hydrodynamic characteristics of waterjet propulsion was outlined to clarify the application consideration and proposal for carrying out model self-propulsion tests with waterjet propelled models was presented. The results of model self-propulsion tests carried out in the Hyundai Maritime Research Institute towing tank with catamaran ship were presented.

In Korea, much research and development have occurred to enhance the technological competitiveness of tuna purse seining fisheries. Due to these efforts, fishing efficiency has been improved with the development of radar, sonar and global positioning systems for fish detection and revisions to the hull forms of tuna purse seiners. However, for skiff boats, net boats and speed boats, which are auxiliary working boats mounted on tuna purse seiners, technology has lagged behind relative to the modernization of the main vessel. In this study, the hull of an existing propeller-based net boat with steel wire net to protect tuna was changed to the hull of a water jet propulsion vehicle to reduce resistance and improve maneuverability. As a result, a prototype of a water jet propulsion option was produced according to the aluminum structure strength standards specified by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, and safety was confirmed by performing a drop test. Moreover, through a sea trial test, an existing net boat was shown to have a speed of 12.0knots and a towing force of 2,545 kgf at 2,500 RPM. The prototype had a speed of 26.7 knots and a towing force of 2,011 kgf at 3,200 RPM, which satisfied the towing capacity standards of auxiliary working boats mounted on tuna purse seiners.

In this paper, a model of material removal in abrasive water jet machining of brittle material is developed, and experimentally evaluated. Abrasive water jet machining proved to yield better material removal rate than other machining techniques for hard and brittle material (alumina ceramics). It was also found that large scale fracture may develop at the exit of the jet from the material. The fracture size was predicted as a function of water jet pressure and size of the hole. Finally, the feasibility of using acoustic emission signals for in-process monitoring of the abrasive water jet machining process is investigated.
