Prediction methods for cavitation noise are presented. At first, direct numerical simulation of cavitating flow noise has been performed, and acoustic analogy equation based on the cavitation noise modeling is derived. For the direct numerical simulation, a density based homogenous equilibrium model is employed to simulate cavitating two-phase flow and the governing equations are solved with high-order numerical schemes to resolve cavitation noise. The compressible Navier-Stokes equations for mixture fluids are discretized with a sixth-order central compact scheme, and the steep gradient of flow variables and supersonic regions are treated with the selective spatial filtering technique. The direct simulation of cavitating flow noise is performed for a 2D circular cylinder at cavitation number 0.7 and 1. The far-field noise is also predicted with the derived analogy equation. Noise spectrum predicted with the equation is well compared with the result of direct numerical simulation and also agree well with the theory.

A theoretical study on the pressure fluctuation induced by a propeller was carried out in this study. The main objective of this study is to analyze the source mechanism of the pressure fluctuation induced by propeller sheet cavitation. To analyze the pressure fluctuation induced by propeller sheet cavitation, modern acoustic theory was applied. Governing equation of pressure fluctuation induced by sheet cavitation was derived using Ffowcs Williams proposed time domain acoustic approaches. Several factors affecting pressure fluctuation were analyzed based on the derived governing equation. Pressure fluctuation result was represented by combined results of the far field term and near field term. Finally, the physical mechanism of pressure fluctuation at the blade rate frequency was analyzed using numerically generated cavitation volume variation.

PRAIRIE(Propeller Air Induced Emission) system is a kind of underwater radiated noise suppression systems to reduce the probability of the identification or classification of our warship's acoustic signature by an enemy ship. It is effective in case of strong cavitation events. This is because air bubbles emitted from the PRAIRIE system mitigate drastic collapses of the cavity bubbles that can generate an intense shock wave. However, when the PRAIRIE system is operated in a non or weak cavitation condition, it might increase the total level of underwater radiated noise and induce the acoustic signatures. Therefore, this paper presents the trial results on ventilation control of PRAIRIE to find a more efficient operation depend on the cavitation condition. Then, we show a variation of the amplitude modulation characteristics according to ventilation control.

Underwater cavitation is one of the most important issues because it causes not only vibration and erosion of submerged bodies but also significant flow noise problems. In this paper, flow noise due to cavitation flows around the NACA66 MOD hydrofoil is numerically investigated. The cavitation flow simulation is conducted using the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations based on finite difference methods. To capture the cavitation phenomena accurately and effectively, the homogeneous mixture model with the Merkle's cavitation model is applied. The predicted results are compared with available experimental data in terms of pressure coefficients and volume fraction, which confirms the validity of numerical results. Based on flow field analysis results, hydro-acoustic noise field due to the cavitation flow is predicted using the Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings equation derived from the Lighthill's acoustic analogy. The typical lift dipole propagation patterns are identified.

In order to investigate the noise characteristics of the different caviation, noise measurements were carried out in a large cavitation tunnel of the Samsuug Ship Model Basin(SSMB). The noise measurements for a 3-dimensional hydrofoil were carried out at the angle of attack of $12^{\circ}$ and $16^{\circ}$ according to the decrease in cavitation number. It is exhibited that sound pressure level(SPL) increased sharply with cavitation inception. The frequency of the noise induced by sheet cavitation was higher than that of tip vortex cavitation in the phase of cavitation inception. Within the range of the high frequency, in the case of fully developed cavitation, sheet cavitation noise was significantly increased in sound pressure level compared with tip vortex cavitation noise. In this study, the noise characteristics of the different cavitation types were considered experimentally and would be utilized as a basis for the analysis of propeller cavitation noise.

초음파 캐비테이션 현상이란 강한 초음파 조사 조건에서 매질(주로 유체) 내에서 미세기포를 발생시키고, 천이시키는 물리적 현상을 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 초음파 캐비테이션 발생량의 정량적 평가를 위하여 초음파 조사조건에 따른 기포군의 초음파 음향 특성변화를 관찰하였다. 중심 주파수가 500 kHz. 1.1 MHz인 곡면형 단일 초음파 변환기를 이용하여 캐비테이션 현상을 발생시켰으며, 형성되는 기포군을 가로지르는 2.25 MHz 간섭 초음파를 송/수신하여 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 캐비테이션 발생량 평가를 위한 파라미터로 투과하는 파의 중심주파수 변화 및 감쇠 특성, 전파시간을 제시하였으며, 캐비테이션 발생 조건(조사 강도 및 여기 신호, 중심주파수)에 따른 변화를 관찰하였다. 획득된 간섭 초음파 수신신호를 분석한 결과, 중심 주파수의 변화의 경우 상관계수는 낮지만 조사 강도에 따른 상관관계를 확인할 수 있었으며, 특정 조사 조건에서 주목할 만한 급격한 중심 주파수 변화가 관찰되었다. 조사조건에 따른 간섭 초음파의 감쇠 추세는 모든 조건에서 높은 상관관계를 보였으며, 캐비테이션 발생형태에 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 조사조건에 따른 전파 시간의 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 차후 다양한 조사조건에 대한 평가를 통하여 보다 정량적인 캐비테이션 발생량 평가가 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 이러한 정량적 평가는 고강도 초음파 치료에서 발생할 수 있는 현상에 대한 기초 연구로서 활용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

함정 추진기에서 발생하는 캐비테이션은 함의 생존성과 직결되어 있으며, 생존성 향상을 위해 추진기 캐비테이션 초생이 지연되는 추진기 형상을 요구하고 있다. 그러나 한번 함정이 건조되고 나면 다양한 운용 조건에서 캐비테이션이 발생할 수 있어, 설계 뿐만 아니라 운용 시에도 추진기 캐비테이션 발생 여부를 알 수 있어야 한다. 이를 위해 선내에서 계측한 신호를 이용한 캐비테이션 발생 여부 판단이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 추진기 상방 선체에 하이드로폰과 가속도계를 설치하여 추진기에서 발생하는 음향/진동 신호의 상관관계와 각 센서를 이용한 캐비테이션 초생 분석 성능에 대해 비교를 수행하였다. 캐비테이션 발생을 시각적으로 파악하기 위하여 선미부에 관측창을 설치하여 고속카메라 계측을 수행하였다. 계측 결과 음향과 진동 신호 간 스펙트럼 형상은 다르게 나타났으나, 선속에 따른 밴드별 레벨 증가분, 1 kHz ~ 10 kHz 대역의 전체 레벨 등은 비슷한 경향을 나타냈다. Detction of Envelope Modulation On Noise(DEMON) 분석에서도 음향과 진동신호 모두 비슷한 결과를 보여주었으며, 이를 통해 추진기 캐비테이션 발생분석에는 하이드로폰과 가속도계 모두 활용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

본 논문은 선박 추진기의 캐비테이션 침식현상을 연구하기 위하여 추진기에서 발생하는 소음과 캐비테이션 격렬도의 연관성에 대하여 분석하였다. 캐비테이션 침식은 캐비테이션 붕괴의 빈도와 강도로 정의 할 수 있는 '캐비테이션 격렬도'와 밀접히 연관되어 있다. 캐비테이션 붕괴에 의해서 발생하는 압력파는 다양한 진폭과 지속시간의 연속적인 펄스의 형태로 나타나며 이를 캐비테이션 거동과 동조 분석하여 캐비테이션 붕괴에 따른 추진기 소음 연관성을 파악하였다. 이 기법을 경사축 추진기시험을 활용하여 추진기침식시험에 대한 정량적 평가방안을 제시하였다.

In this study, the effects of inclined shaft angle on the hydro-acoustic performance of cavitating marine propellers are investigated by a numerical method developed before and Brown's empirical formula. The cavitating blades are represented by source and vortex elements. The cavity characteristics of the blades such as cavitation form, cavity volume, cavity length etc., are computed at a given cavitation number and at a set advance coefficient. A lifting surface method is applied for these calculations. The numerical lifting surface method is validated with experimental results of DTMB 4119 model benchmark propeller. After calculation of hydrodynamic characteristics of the cavitating propeller, noise spectrum and overall sound pressure level (OASPL) are computed by Brown's equation. This empirical equation is also validated with another numerical results found in the literature. The effects of inclined shaft angle on thrust coefficient, torque coefficient, efficiency and OASPL values are examined by a parametric study. By modifying the inclination angles of propeller, the thrust, torque, efficiency and OASPL are computed and compared with each other. The influence of the inclined shaft angle on cavity patterns on the blades are also discussed.
