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.

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.

The hydraulic design optimization and performance analysis of mixed-flow pumps for waterjet marine vehicle propulsion has been carried out using mean streamline analysis and three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code. In the present study, the conceptual design optimization has been formulated with a non-linear objective function to minimize the fluid dynamic losses, and then the commercial CFD code was incorporated to allow for detailed flow dynamic phenomena in the pump system. Newly designed mixed-flow model pump has been tested in the laboratory. Predicted performance curves by the CFD code agree very well with experimental data for a newly designed mixed-flow pump over the normal operating conditions. The design and prediction method presented herein can be used efficiently as a unified hydraulic design process of mired-flow pumps for waterjet marine vehicle propulsion.

The numerical analysis of a waterjet propulsion system was performed to provide detail understanding of complicated flow phenomena including interactions of intake duct, rotor, stator, and contracted discharge nozzle. The incompressible RANS equations were solved on moving multiblocked grid system. To handle interface boundary between rotor and stator, the sliding multiblock method was applied. The numerical results were compared with experiments and good agreement was obtained. The complicated viscous flow features of the waterjet, such as secondary flow inside the intake duct, the recovery of axial flow by the role of the stator, and tip and hub vortex, etc. were well analyzed by the present simulation. The performance of thrust and torque was also predicted.

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.

고속 선박을 추진하는 한 방법으로 널리 사용되는 물분사 추진은 물을 내부 덕트로 빨아들여 임펠러로 물을 가속시켜 노즐을 통해 분사시킴으로써 입출구의 운동량차이에 의해 추력을 얻는 추진장치이다. 선박의 목적에 따라 사용되는 다양한 형태의 물분사 추진기의 개발을 위하여 모형실험을 통하여 그 성능을 검증하는 부분에서 로터의 피치각 변화에 따른 추진기의 성능 실험을 하는 것은 많은 비용과 시간이 따른다. 따라서 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 추진기 내부의 유동장을 4가지 피치각에 따라 추진력을 3차원 비압축성 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 이용하여 해석하였다. 로터의 회전을 고려하여 슬라이딩 다중 격자기법을 적용하였고 추력계수, 토크계수, 그리고 모멘텀을 해석 결과와 비교 분석을 통하여 추진기의 성능과 효율을 추정하였다.
