In this study, trim tabs were attached to end of stern hull of a small high-speed vessel of length approximately 10 m and Froude number 1.0 to improve resistance performance and passenger comfort. Before computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to assess the performance according to various geometries of the trim tab, the scale effect had been found through a previous study, so full-scale simulations were performed. The trim tab chord length was set to 0.5 %, 1.0 % and 1.5 % of L_PP, and its angle to base line was varied in intervals of 5°. It decreased trim by stern and flotation: the greater the angle and length, the greater was the effect. Then it had pressure resistance decreased and shear resistance increased, and reduction ratio of total resistance varied accordingly. The results of this study indicated that the resistance performance was improved about 27 % at optimal running attitude that was the trim by stern about 1.5°.

선박의 최적 운항 자세를 찾기 위해 자유 수면을 포함한 저항 해석을 수행할 경우 많은 격자를 이용한 비정상 해석으로 인해 계산 시간이 오래 소요되는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이를 개선하여 이중 모형을 이용한 정상 해석을 통해 보다 효율적으로 선박의 최적 운항 자세를 도출하는 방법을 연구하였다. KCS를 대상선으로 선정하여 설계속도(24knots)와 저속(15knots)인 경우에 대하여 평형 상태 및 선수/선미 트림 상태에서 이중 모형 수치해석을 수행하고 기존의 연구결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과 자유수면 유무와 속도에 상관없이 선체 자세에 따른 저항 값은 동일한 경향을 갖는 것을 확인하였다. 하지만 저속일 경우 트림조건에 따른 저항의 변화의 폭에서 차이를 보였으며, 이는 압력저항에 기인한 것이다. 따라서 이중 모형을 이용한 저항 해석은 압력저항의 변동이 큰 경우에는 적용되기 어렵다는 한계점이 있다. 하지만 마찰 저항이 주요한 경우에 적용되어 계산효율을 획기적으로 높일 수 있으며, 정성적인 경향을 제시할 수 있는 타당한 방법이라 사료된다.

Doppler log and current meter are based on the measurment of the doppler effect. Ship's speed over the ground measured by means of doppler log effect of underwater ultrasonic intends to get infulence by the difference of sound velocity, the ship's course, the sea bottom inclination, the trim and tranducer installation etc. This paper investigated on the error of speed over the ground by change of the trim comparing the real speed obtained by the mile post with the speed of single beam type doppler log on the trainning ship Kyeongyangho. The results are as follows ; 1. Indicating speed of doppler log is very much greatly influenced on variation of trim, but the real speed is less affected variation by trim. 2. The range of variation and error of speed over ground are smallest when ship's trim is 2.15m trim by the stern.

In a distributed streaming system using an advanced coding scheme that encodes a video into multiple substreams, the capacity of the system depends on the amount of contribution of participating peers. Thus, an incentive mechanism for peers to contribute voluntarily is needed to increase system capacity. In addition, since peers are not only a provider but also a consumer in the system (i.e. prosumer), the overall capacity of the system must be allocated fairly among the peers while it must be allocated in a way that can maximize the net quality of experience of peers to increase system efficiency. In this paper, we propose a substream allocation method to solve the problems taking an optimization approach. Unlike the other optimization approaches, the proposed method is verified quantitatively in a simulation study that it can use the capacity of video streaming system efficiently while allocating fair amount of substreams among peers because it considers explicitly the prosumer characteristics of peers.

본 연구에서는 EDISON의 해석자를 활용하여 선박의 최적 운항 자세 도출과 같은 실용적 문제 해석뿐 만 아니라 자유 수면 및 대칭 경계 조건이 수직한 몰수 익형 주위 유동에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 학술적 연구를 수행하였다. 선박의 자세에 따른 저항 변화를 분석한 결과 0.5m 선수 트림에서 선체 저항이 가장 작은 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 유동 가속에 의한 선수 어깨부의 낮은 압력 및 선미부에서의 압력 회복에 의한 것이다. 반면, 1.0m 선미 트림에서 선체 저항이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났는데, 평형 상태보다 선미부의 압력 회복이 약하기 때문이다. 또한 자유 수면과 대칭 경계 조건이 날개 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 비현실적 대칭경계 조건으로 인해 날개 양력이 13%~16% 크게 나타났으므로 대칭경계조건을 사용할 경우에는 이러한 오차를 감안해야 한다.

The International Maritime Organization has recently strengthened its marine environment regulations. The energy efficiency index has long been an important indicator of ship design, and now, energy efficiency is being enforced for existing ships as well as new ships. To increase the energy efficiency of existing ships, methods such as retrofitting the bow bulb, selecting an optimized trim during ship operation, and installing an energy saving device have been applied. In this study, the ship resistance was numerically simulated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) under various bow and stern trim conditions. In addition, the bulb was redesigned to further improve the resistance performance under the selected trim conditions. When the improved bulb was applied, the effective horse power increased by approximately 5%. It is, however, necessary to verify whether the redesigned bulb can reduce ship resistance in waves.

The main objective of the present study is to elucidate a correlation between ship resistances from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and brake horse powers (BHP) from towing tank in container carriers. The tests were conducted for a range of combinations of trim conditions and speeds. To achieve this goal, 295 cases of numerical simulation have been performed using Star-CCM+ which had been statistically verified to predict ship resistances (Lee & Lee, 2014). Based on the normal distribution of resistance errors in all cases of the 4 container carriers, the confidence interval of numerical error was estimated as [-2.33%,+2.42%] with 95% confidence. The correlation coefficients between the ship resistances of CFD and the brake horse powers of the experiments were higher than 0.93. As a result, the numerical calculation of ship resistances is able to be utilized in order to provide a quick guidance in selection of the optimum loading condition.

In this study, a trim tab on the stern hull of a small high-speed vessel of approximately 10 m length sailing at a Froude number of 1.0 was designed for energy efficiency. The running attitude and resistance performance of the bare hull and trim tab hull at several angles to the base line were analyzed for model and full scale ships using computational fluid dynamics, and compared to investigate the scale effect. The analysis results for the bare hull were quite similar, but a difference in the attitude control under same conditions of the trim tab was observed, resulting in the total resistance error. However, there was no significant difference in tendency of the variation in the resistance with the attitude. Thus, the optimum running attitude could be determined from the tendency despite the scale effect, but a full scale analysis is required to analyze the control of the attitude by the trim tab and flow characteristics near the full scale ship.

The present study is concept research on the operation cost management of shipping firms, especially considering technology for economical ship operation of existing ships in units of voyage. The factors that influence economical ship operation management were identified by analyzing the current status of the shipping industry, the development of economical ship operation technologies, technological requirements, and the cost factors of ship operation. Economical operation of existing ships, especially, the economical operation of the units of each voyage, may minimize fuel cost and port charges. This requires low-load streaming cruise control, ballast control, optimal trim, optimal routing, terminal work efficiency improvement, and ship energy management. Optimal routing and terminal work efficiency improvement manage the time saved. To determine the low-load streaming, cruise control, ballast control, optimal trim and ship energy management are meeting the recommendations.

The optimal rib pattern design of B-pillar trim considering occupant head protection can be determined by two methods. One is the conventional approximate optimization method that uses the statistical design of experiments (DOE) and response surface method (RSM). Generally, approximated optimum results are obtained through the iterative process by trial-and-error. The quality of results strongly depends on the factors and levels assigned by a designer. The other is a methodology derived from previous work by the authors, called the sequential design of experiments (SDOE), to reduce the trial-and-error procedure and to find an appropriate condition for using artificial neural network (ANN) systematically. An appropriate condition is determined from the iterative process based on the analysis of means. With this new technique and ANN, it is possible to find an optimum design accurately and efficiently.
