This study was to evaluate hydrodynamic performance evaluation between an abroad product, a developed inflatable kayak and new developed kayaks. In order to test, inclining and turning trial test were carried out in the Ocean engineering Basin. Also, resistance test was carried out using a reduced scale model in the circulating water channel. In conclusion, stability of KONA was evaluated was the most greatest, the coefficient of resistance and center of gravity from RD-FK-12 were considerable, and turning performance of RD-FK-11 was greater than this of KONA and RD-FK-12.

A new propeller open water testing device is developed and tested in a tow tank. The devised dynamometer consists of a torque measuring part, a thrust measuring part and a driving motor with an RPM counter. Torque is designed to be measured directly from the torsion of the structure holding the motor by using strain gauges and, consequently, conventional slip ring is removed. Also, in order to make the device fit in relatively small model ships, the weight and the size of the whole integrated structure are reduced in various ways. The developed tester is proved to be easily utilized in small circulating water channel experiments and is believed to have provided us with essential information for future design of various types of conventional or object oriented force measuring device.

Due to global warming, the need to secure alternative resources has become more important nationally. Because of the very strong current on the west coast, with a tidal range of up to 10 m, there are many suitable sites for the application of TCP (tidal current power) in Korea. In the southwest region, a strong current is created in the narrow channels between the numerous islands. A rotor is an essential component that can convert tidal current energy into rotational energy to generate electricity. The design optimization of a rotor is very important to maximize the power production. The performance of a rotor can be determined using various parameters, including the number of blades, shape, sectional size, diameter, etc. There are many offshore jetties and piers with high current velocities. Thus, a VAT (vertical axis turbine) system, which can generate power regardless of flow direction changes, could be effectively applied to cylindrical structures. A VAT system could give an advantage to a caisson-type breakwater because it allows water to circulate well. This paper introduces a multi-layer vertical axis tidal current power system. A Savonius turbine was designed, and a performance analysis was carried out using CFD. A physical model was also demonstrated in CWC, and the results are compared with CFD.

The virtual mass of net is an important parameter in the analysis and control of net movement in the water. This experiment was performed with the purpose of getting a relation on the quantity of netting and virtual mass of trawl nets using the circulating water channel that can control flow speed. Twelve types of conical nets were examined. Resistance of the conical net at the steady and acceleration state was recorded as text on the personal computer through the tension meter and current meter. The results were obtained as follows ;1. Resistance(R) of the conical net is proportional to the degree of attack angle in the sam e amount of twine material.2. Coefficient of the resistance(Cd)could be defined by the following regression model as a function of Reynolds Number(Re). Cd=0.039Re-0.14743. Resistance(R) is proportional to TSA(Twine surface area) and defined as follows; R=21.398TSA-0.12194. Coefficient of virtual mass(CM) could be calculated by the following first order regression model. CM=37.557U-8.96845. Virtual mass is directly proportional to Volume of net(V) or d/l.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the flow characteristics around underwater triangular structure with various inclination and Reynolds number. A flow fields around the triangular structure model were measured by visualization method and PIV in the circulating water channel. The result of the experiment is where the triangular structure that has a inclination of $45^{\circ}$ and the reynolds number at $Re=2.9{\times}10^3$ showed rising velocity component to 2.7 times of the structure height. When the reynolds number is steady and when the inclination is greater the descending velocity component of the structure's rears current form is greatly shown and for the areas where it's more than y/hs=1.75 has a change in the angle of inclination but it doesn't give a great effect to it.

In this study, We modeled the deck house of the container ship like the representative bluff body and made the model ship. By using the PIV technique, the exhaust gas anti-reflux effect of the deck house backward according to open and close of the Sunken Deck and installation of the deflector in deck house side were measured in circulating water channel. The experiment system consists of hi-speed camera, laser, image board, host computer. The mean velocity vector and time mean axial velocity were found in deck house backward and the results were compared each case.

There are the C.W.C and Towing Tank to the model-test equipments of the boat. A model testing of the high speed boat have a difficult in the performance verification because of very a small the scale-ratio of the ship-model and restricted by flow-velocity of the C.W.C and X-carriage velocity of the T.T. In general, the stepped hull boat is a high of fuel-efficiency because of the resistance reduction by a small wetted surface-area in correspond without stepped-hull boat. But It have a tendency to be bad the rolling performance by reduced stern wetted-area In this paper, the high speed stepped planning-boats with & without attached a stern body were performed to compare the effect of resistance and rolling performance by using sea model-test method.

The initial hull form of a 100 tan, 45 knot class high-speed craft is newly developed. The resistance performances are investigated using a model test at high speed in a circulating water channel. The effect of the initial trim is studied together. Wave patterns are observed to clarify the relationship between the resistance performance and the wave characteristics. It can be found that the initial trim plays a role in increasing the resistance performance above a certain velocity.
