Cavitation causes a great deal of noise, damage to components, vibrations, and a loss of efficiency in devices, such as propellers, pump impellers, nozzles, injectors, torpedoes, etc., Thus, cavitating flow simulation is of practical importance for many engineering systems. In this study, a two-phase flow solver based on the homogeneous mixture model has been developed. The flow characteristics around an axisymmetric cylinder were calculated and then validated by comparing with the experimental results in the cavitation water tunnel at the Korea Ocean Research & Development Institute. The results show that this solver is highly suitable for simulating the cavitating flows. After the code validation, the cavity length with changes of water depth, angle of attack and velocity were obtained.. Cavitation inception was also calculated for various operational conditions.

As considerable interests in noise emission from the ships have been increased, control of the propeller cavitation generating vibration and radiating noise is looming large. In general, the tip vortex cavitation is first produced in case of full scale propellers, and noise levels rise dramatically from that moment. In order to reduce induced noise from the tip vortex cavitation and hence increase the cavity inception speed, we propose the mass injection method. Water injected from the propeller tip decreases rotating speed of the tip flow, and it restrains growing the tip vortex cavity. Experimental investigations of the model tests carried out in a large cavitation tunnel show that the tip vortex cavitation is effectively controled by water injection from the propeller tip.

Cavitation is a phenomenon caused by vapour cavities that is produced in rapid pressure changes. When the cavitation happened, the sound pressure level of a underwater radiated noise is increased rapidly. As a result, it can increase the probability of the identification or classification of a our warship's acoustic signature by an enemy ship. However, there is a problem that it is hard to precisely detect the occurrence of a cavitation noise. Therefore, this paper presents recent improvements in terms of the cavitation noise measurement by using continuous wavelet transform and DEMON(Detection of Envelope Modulation on Noise) signal processing. Then, we present that the suggested scheme is more suitable for detecting the cavitation than existing algorithms.

캐비테이션 특성이 우수하고 추진효율이 높은 콘테이너선용 프로펠러를 설계하기 위하여 새로운 날개단면(KH18)을 이용한 프로펠러 설계법을 제안하였다. KH18 단면은 캐비테이션 초생곡선(Cavitation-free bucket diagram) 및 양력-항력곡선(Lift-drag curve)에서 폭이 넓어 불균일한 선미후류에서 작동되는 선박용 프로펠러의 날개 단면으로 적당하리라 판단되었다. 새로운 날개 단면을 이용한 콘테이너선의 프로펠러 설계를 위하여 양력면이론을 사용하였다. 프로펠러 설계시 코오드 방향 부하분포를 설계변수로 선택하여 5개의 프로펠러를 설계하였고, 단면 변화의 영향을 비교하기 위하여 NACA형 단면을 갖는 프로펠를 설계하여 예인수조 및 캐비테이션 터널에서 모형시험을 수행하였다. 모형시험 결과 코오드 방향 부하분포가 프로펠러 반경의 70% 내부에서는 날개 앞날의 부하가 적고 그 외부에서는 날개 앞날부하가 상대적으로 큰 코오드방향 부하분포를 갖는 프로펠러(KP197)가 NACA 단면을 갖는 프로펠러에 비하여 추진효율은 1% 향상되었고 캐비테이션 발생양은 30% 감소하였으며 선체변동압력은 9%감소하였다. 새로운 날개단면을 갖는 프로펠러의 캐비테이션 특성이 우수함을 고려하여 낱개 전개면적비를 감소시킨다면 더 많은 추진효율 증가를 기대할 수 있으리라 판단된다.

The cavitation inception in oil hydraulic pipeline was investigated experimentally and numerically. In the experiment, negative pressures below-1 MPa(absolute pressure) were measured, associated with the transient flows in oil hydraulic pipeline. These experimental results show that the common hydraulic oil in the experimental pipeline withstands large tensions. In order to interpret the experimental results on cavitation inception, the growth of a spherical bubble in viscous compressible fluid due to a stepwise pressure drop was investigated by numerical analysis, and the critical bubble radius was obtained. The calculated value of the critical bubble radius corresponding to the negative pressure measured in the experiment is so small that the premised conditions about the bubble shape in the analysis is unsatisfactory. The physical significance of this calculated result implies the fact that there hardly exist free bubbles which can act as cavitation nuclei in the experimental pipeline.

고효율 및 캐비테이션 특성이 우수한 프로펠러 날개단면을 개발하기 위한 일련의 설계 제작 시험 및 해석과정을 기술하였다. 여러 날개단면의 양력-항력곡선과 캐비테이션 특징을 비교하기 위하여 11개의 2차원 날개 단면을 설계 제작 시험하였다. 개발된 단면(KH18 단면)은 양력-항력 곡선과 캐비티 초생 곡선에서 기존 단면에 비하여 폭이 넓기 때문에 불균일한 선미후류에서 작동하는 프로펠러의 날개 단면으로서 적합하리라 생각된다. 개방단면을 사용한 프로펠러 설계법을 제시하였다. 코오드 방향 부하분포 형상이 프로펠로 성능에 미치는 영향을 고찰하기 위하여 3가지 기준 부하 형상에 대한 프로펠러를 각각 설계하였다. 또한 날개단면이 프로펠러 성능에 미치는 영향을 비교하기 위하여 기존 날개단면만을 사용한 프로펠러를 2개 설계하였다.
