일반상선 중 액화천연가스(LNG) 재기화 선박은 기존의 LNG 운반선에 액화된 LNG를 다시 기화할 수 있는 추가설비를 갖춘 선박이다. 이 선박은 해상에서 천연가스를 해저 터미널을 통해 이송하는 수중 터렛 시스템을 보유한다. 하역작업을 완료한 선박이 운항 시에는 수중 터렛이 없음으로 인해 선수부 바닥이 열려 있는 개구부 즉, 오프닝 상태가 발생한다. 본 연구의 주 목적은 오프닝 상태로 운항 시 발생되는 속도손실을 CFD를 이용한 유동해석과 예인수조에서의 모형시험을 통하여 정확하게 파악하였다. 모형시험에서는 나선 상태와 오프닝 상태에서 저항 및 자항성능을 평가하였다. 실험에서는 터프트 법에 의한 유선조사시험을 이용하여 오프닝 내부유동의 변화를 정량적 또는 정성적으로 보다 더 상세한 조사를 하였다.

A RANS(Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes) based numerical method is developed for the evaluation of ship resistance and self-propulsion performances. In the usability aspect of CFD for the hull form design, the field grid around practical hull forms is generated by solving a grid Poisson equation based on the hull surface grid generated from station offsets and centerline profile. A body force technique is introduced to model the effects of the propeller in which the propeller loads are obtained from potential flow analysis using an unsteady lifting surface method. The free surface is captured by using a two-phase level-set method and the realizable $k-{\varepsilon}$ model is used for turbulence closure. The hull attitude in vertical plane, i.e., trim and sinkage, is calculated by using a quasi-steady method and then considered in the computation by translating and rotating the grid system according to the values. For the validation of the proposed method, the numerical results of resistance tests for KCS, KLNG, and KVLCC1 and of self-propulsion test for KCS are compared with experimental data.

본 논문에서는 소스 코드가 공개된 라이브러리를 이용하여 선박의 성능을 예측할 수 있는 해석 코드를 개발하였다. 질량보존 방정식, 모멘튼 보존방정식, 난류를 고려하기 위해 난류모델과 벽함수를 고려하였다. 자유수면 계산을 위해 볼륨비 수송방정식을 고려하였고, 자유수면의 정확도 높은 계산을 위해 고차 도식을 포함하는 라이브러리를 개발하였다. 개발한 프로그램을 컨테이너선인 KCS에 적용한 결과 실험에서 포착된 자유수면 분포를 잘 예측하였다. 자항성능 평가 시 추진기 회전을 위해 GGI 라이브러리를 사용하였다. 계산결과 실험과 비교해 약 7 % 정도의 정확도로 자항성능을 예측하였다. 캐비테이션 예측을 위해 이상 균질 모델을 포함하는 새로운 라이브러리를 개발하였다. 이상 균질 모델을 추진기에 적용한 결과 일반적으로 발생하는 얇은 층 캐비테이션을 잘 예측하는 것을 확인하였다. 오픈 소스 라이브러리를 이용하여 개발한 수치수조를 KCS에 적용한 결과 오픈 소스 라이브러리에 대한 가능성을 확인하였다.

In order to study the self-propulsion test and analysis techniques for the submerged body in Large Cavitation Tunnel (LCT). DARPA Suboff, a submarine model publicly available was manufactured. The resistance results of DARPA Suboff was acquired from the LCT tests and compared with those of DTRC. After the wall blockage correction, the resistance results of LCT were in good agreement with those of DTRC. On the basis of the resistance results of LCT, the self-propulsion tests were conducted in LCT. The test objective was to get the full-scale propeller operating conditions for the propeller cavitation and noise tests. The test results of DARPA Suboff were analyzed in a way similar to the analysis techniques of those of the Towing Tank (TT). Another submerged body, for which self-propulsion tests were conducted in TT, was selected for results verification. The results of LCT were in good agreement with those of TT. On the basis of the present study, it is thought that the operating conditions for the full-scale submerged body can be drawn through LCT tests.

The present study aims to improve the accuracy of the maneuvering simulations based on captive model test results. To derive the hydrodynamic coefficients in a self-propelled condition, a mathematical maneuvering model using a whole vehicle model was established. Captive model tests were carried out using the Vertical Planar Motion Mechanism (VPMM) equipment. A motor controller was used to control the constant propeller revolution rate during pure motion tests. The resistance tests, self-propulsion tests, static drift tests, and VPMM tests were performed in the towing tank of Seoul National University. When the vertical drift angle changes, the gravity load on the sensors were changed. The hydrodynamic forces were deduced by subtracting the gravity load from the measured forces. The hydrodynamic coefficients were calculated using the least-square method. The simulation of the turning circle test was compared with the free-running model test result, and the error of the turning radius was 8.3 % compared to the free-running model test.

In order to study the self-propulsion test and analysis techniques for the submerged body with pumpjet propulsors in the Large Cavitation Tunnel (LCT), at the Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering, a set of test equipment was designed and manufactured. The pumpjet propulsor is composed of rotor, stator and duct which results in the strong interaction between the components. To measure the thrust and torque for duct and stator, a ring-shaped sensor was applied. The test equipment including pumpjet is installed on the stern of the submerged body. As the whole pumpjet including duct and stator was considered as the propulsor from pumpjet open-water test, the self-propulsion test was conducted in the same way. The total thrust, combined thrust of rotor, duct and stator was used for the pumpjet self-propulsion test analysis. Accordingly, the self-propulsion test and analysis were conducted in the same way as those of the conventional propeller. The full-scale performances of the pumpjet propulsor were compared with those of the reference propeller. On the basis of the present study, it is thought that the pumpjet propulsor would be designed optimally.

This paper provides numerical results for the estimation of the efficiency of KRISO energy saving devices in the design stage. A finite volume method is used to solve Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations, where the SST k-$\omega$ model is selected for turbulence closure. The propeller rotating motion is determined using a rigid body motion (RBM) scheme, which is called a sliding mesh technique. The numerical analysis focuses on predicting the power reduction by the designed KRISO devices (K-DUCT) under a self-propulsion condition. The present numerical results show good agreement with the available experimental data. Finally, it is concluded that CFD can be a useful method, along with model tests, for assessing the performance of energy saving devices for propulsion efficiency improvement.

To predict the powering performance of full scale ships from the towing tank tests, resistance, propeller open water and self-propulsion tests are conducted. Model tests inevitably include the experimental error defined as the sum of two types of uncertainties, bias and precision errors. The induced errors in each element of model test are propagated through various routes and correlated with one another. The correlation coefficients are very important in the uncertainty analysis. The coefficient gives a direction(increase or decrease) for a value of error in individual elements. If the coefficient is not used accurately, the error bounds of the individual elements are overestimated or underestimated. In this study, the new methodology is applied to the uncertainty analysis of HMRI's towing tank tests, thus error bounds of each element is suggested and verified by several repetitive experiments.

With installation of the computerized data acquisition system on the towing carriage of KRIS towing tank, the testing techniques of resistance test, propeller open-water test, self-propulsion test and wake survey at propeller disk were remarkably improved and automated. For the self-propulsion test a new method was developed with aid of a digital desk-top computer. This method is based on extracting advantages both from British method and Continental method, that is, the accuracy from the constant speed method and the effciency from the constant load method. The KRIS method has been successfully practized with the improved accuracy, stability and efficiency. Details of the new method are described in this paper.
