프로펠러 캐비테이션은 선체진동 및 수중소음에 악영향을 끼치는 주요한 원인중의 하나로 생각되어왔다. 그러나 근래 선박의 고속화와 프로펠러 하중의 증가로 캐비테이션이 전혀 없는 프로펠러의 설계개념 적용은 사실상 불가능하다. 고스큐 프로펠러는 기존의 프로펠러와 비교하여 수중소음과 저주파 압력 펄스를 약하게 하는데 유리한 것으로 인식되고 있다. 변동압력에 대하여 프로펠러 스큐와 레이크의 영향을 조사하기 위하여 체계적인 실험을 캐비테이션 터널에서 수행하였으며 본 논문에서는 여러 가지 스큐와 레이크 분포를 갖는 모형 프로펠러에 대한 캐비테이션 관찰시험과 변동압력 계측결과에 대하여 논의하고 토론하였다. 연구 결과 고스큐는 균일류 및 불균일류에서 공히 변동압력 경감에 효ㄱ과가 있음이 확인되었는데 이는 아마도 날개에서의 캐비테이션 안정성에 의한 것으로 예측된다. 그러나 레이크는 날개에서의 캐비티 크기나 거동에 큰 영향을 주지 못하였으며, 변동압력이 또한 거의 같은 수준으로 나타나는 결과를 가져왔다.

The effects of Reynolds number of model propeller leading edge roughness and air content resolved in tunnel water on cavitation inception, cavitation extent and pressure fluctuation were investigated experimentally by using two model propellers in a cavitation tunnel. Cavitation observation and propeller induced fluctuating pressure measured in the present model test were compared with the model test results of other research institutes and the full-scale data of a German container ship(Sydney Express). The comparison shows a reasonable agreement.

The cavitation noise of high-speed propellers was experimentally studied using new measurement device in KRISO cavitation tunnel. A series of cavitation noise tests were carried out for 6 propellers with various sections, loading distributions, and a different area ratio. From the experimental results, the noise characteristics for various cavitation patterns and the noise performance for a series of propellers were analyzed. These can be used for full-scale prediction study of the noise and optimum design of high-speed propellers.

A new propeller series is developed using the newly developed blade section(KH18 section) which behaves better cavitation characteristics and higher lift-drag ratio at wide range of angle-of-attack. The pitch and camber distributions are disigned in order to have the same radial and chordwise loading distribution with the selected circumferentially averaged wake input. Since the geometries of the series propeller, such as chord length, thickness, skew and rate distribations, are selected by regression of the recent full scale propeller geometric data, the performance prediction of a propeller at preliminary design stage can be mure realistic. Number of blades of the series propellers is 4 and the expanded blade area ratios are 0.3, 0.45, 0.6 and 0.75. Mean pitch ratios are selected as 0.5, 0.65, 0.8, 0.75 and 1.1 for each expanded area ratio. The new propeller series is composed of 20 propellers and is named as KD(KRISO-DAEWOO) propeller series. Propeller open water tests are performed at the experimental towing tank, and the cavitation observation tests and fluctuating pressure measurements are carried out at the cavitation tunnel of KRISO. $B_{P}-\delta$ curves, which can be used to select the optimum propeller diameter at the preliminary design stage, are derived from a regression analysis of the propeller often water test results. The KD-cavitation chart is derived from the cavitation observation test results by choosing the local maximum lift coefficient and the local cavitation number as parameters. The caviy extent of a propeller can be predicted more accurately by using the KD-cavitation chart at a preliminary design stage, since it is derived from the results of the cavitation observation tests in the selected ship's wake, whereas the existing cavitation charts, such as the Burrill's cavitation chart, are derived from the test results in uniform flow.

Experimental studies are made of the characteristics of turbulent flow around the propeller shaft in Cavitation Tunnel using a 2-component LDV system. First the flow uniformity and turbulence levels at the test section are measured. The turbulent boundary layer around the propelle shaft and the wakes behind the propeller shaft are also measured. It is shown that the former represents the general turbulent boundary layer around the propeller shaft but the latter represents the complicated flows behind it.

Noise originating from incipient propeller cavitation is assumed to come from a limited number of sources emitting a broadband signal. Conventional methods for cavitation localization have limitations because they cannot distinguish adjacent sound sources effectively due to low accuracy and resolution. On the other hand, sparse Bayesian learning technique demonstrates high-resolution restoration performance for sparse signals and offers greater resolution compared to conventional cavitation localization methods. In this paper, an incipient propeller cavitation localization method using sparse Bayesian learning is proposed and shown to be superior to the conventional method in terms of accuracy and resolution through experimental data from a model ship.

The two major objectives of acoustical measurements in a cavitation tunnel are measuring the noise levels generated by rotating propellers behind a hull and localizing possible noise sources in order to reduce noise levels. Propeller noise measurement experiments were performed in MOERI cavitation tunnel at December, 2006. In order to put the propeller into cavitating conditions, a wake-generating dummy body was devised. In addition, ten hydrophones are put inside a wing-shaped casing in order to minimize the unexpected flow induced self noise around hydrophone itself. After measuring both of the noises of the rotating propeller behind the dummy body and signals generated by a virtual source, respectively the data were matched field processed using the frequency incoherent Bartlett processor to localize noises on the propeller plane. In this paper, we presented the measured noise analysis and the localization results.

A Propeller design method using the newly developed blade section(KH18), which behaves better cavitation characteristics, is presented. Experimental results for two-dimensional foil sections show that the lift-drag curve and the cavitation-free bucket diagram of the new blade section are wider comparing to those of the existion NACA sections. This characteristic of the new section is particularly important for marine propeller applications since angle of attack variation of the propeller blade operating behind a non-uniform ship's wake is relatively large. A lifting surface theory is used for the design of a propeller with the developed section for a 2700 TEU container ship. Since the most suitable chordwise loading shape is not known a priori, chordwise loading shape is chosen as a design parameter. Five propellers with different chordwise loading shapes and different foil sections are designed and tested in the towing tank and cavitation tunnel at KRISO. It is observed by a series of extensive model tsets that the propeller(KP197) having the chordwise loading shape, which has less leading edge loading at the inner radii and more leading edge loading at the outer radii of 0.7 radius, has higher propulsive efficiency and better cavitation characteristics. The KP197 propeller shows 1% higher efficiency, 30% cavitation volume reduction and 9% reduction of fluctuating pressure level comparing to the propeller with an NACA section. More appreciable efficiency gain for the new blade section propeller would be expected by reduction of expanded blade area considering the better cavitation characteristics of the new blade section.
