In order to investigate Propeller Open Water (POW) characteristics for the high-speed propeller in Large Cavitation Tunnel (LCT), the high-capacity inclined-shaft dynamometer was designed and manufactured. Its measuring capacities of thrust and torque are ${\pm}2200N$ and ${\pm}120N-m$, respectively. The driving motor is directly connected to the propeller shaft. Inclined angle of the propeller shaft can be adjusted up to ${\pm}10^{\circ}$. As the pressure inside LCT can be adjusted in the range of 0.1~3.0bar, we can carry out the POW test at high Reynolds number (above $1.0{\times}10^6$) without propeller cavitation and the cavitation test in uniform flow. After the new dynamometer setup in LCT, the Reynolds number variation test and propeller open-water test were conducted at the inclined angle of $0^{\circ}$ and $6^{\circ}$. The present POW results of the new dynamometer are compared with those of the existing high-capacity dynamometer in LCT and of the dynamometer in the towing-tank. Through systematic model tests and comparison with their results, the performance of the new inclined-shaft dynamometer was verified. It is thought the POW test for the high-speed propeller should be better conducted at high Reynolds number.

Super-cavitating flows around under-water bodies are being studied for drag reduction and dramatic speed increase. In this paper, high speed super-cavitating flow around a two-dimensional symmetric wedge-shaped body were studied using an unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations solver based on a cell-centered finite volume method. To verify the computational method, flow over a hemispherical head-form body was simulated and validated against existing experimental data. Various computational conditions, such as different wedge angles and caviation numbers, were considered for the super-cavitating flow around the wedge-shaped body. Super-cavity begins to form in the low pressure region and propagates along the wedge body. The computed cavity lengths and velocities on the cavity boundary with varying cavitation number were validated by comparing with analytic solution.

Spray impingement and fuel film formation models with cavitation have been developed and incorporated into the computational fluid dynamics code, STAR-CD. The spray/wall interaction process was modeled by considering the effects of surface temperature conditions and fuel film formation. The behavior of fuel droplets after impingement was divided into rebound, spread and splash using the Weber number and parameter K(equation omitted). The spray impingement model accounts for mass conservation, energy conservation, and heat transfer to the impinging droplets. The fuel film formation model was developed by integrating the continuity, momentum, and energy equations along the direction of fuel film thickness. Zero dimensional cavitation model was adopted in order to consider the cavitation phenomena and to give reasonable initial conditions for spray injection. Numerical simulations of spray tip penetration, spray impingement patterns, and the mass of film-state fuel matched well with the experimental data. The spray impingement and fuel film formation models have been applied to study spray/wall impingement in high-speed direct injection diesel engines.

In this study, the characteristics of the cavitation behavior around hydrofoil are investigated with the commercial CFD code CFX-5. Calculations are performed for NACA 64108 hydrofoil by solving the time-averaged turbulent Navier-Stokes equations and discretized by finite volume method. We classify the different cavitating regimes in which appear at the hydrofoil according to the values of cavitation number, surface roughness and angle of attack. Special attention is paid to the following topics: cavity length, void fraction and lift breakdown.

In this paper, we investigated physical characteristics of an artificial supercavity generated behind an axisymmetric cavitator. Experiments for the same model were carried out at two different cavitation tunnels of the Chungnam National University and the University of Minnesota, and the results were compared and verified with each other. We measured pressures inside the cavity and observed the cavity formation by using a high-speed camera. Cavitation parameters were evaluated in considering blockage effects of the tunnel, and gravitational effects on supercavity dimensions were examined. Cavity dimensions corresponding to the unbounded cavitation number were compared. In addition, we investigated how artificial supercavitation develops according to the combination of injection positions and direction.

수중에서 빠른 속도로 운동하는 물체 주변에서 감압이 발생하며, 이로 인해 공동 핵이 팽창함으로써 캐비테이션이 발생한다. 캐비테이션이 발생하게 되면 소음 및 진동이 증가하며, 추진기의 경우 추진 성능이 저해되는 악영향을 초래하기 때문에 이에 대한 예측이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는, 캐비테이션 발생으로 인한 공동소음의 해석절차를 정립하고, 타원형 날개에 적용하였다. 먼저 전산유체역학해석을 수행하여, 날개 형상 주위 유동장 정보를 도출하였다. 공동 핵 밀도 함수를 활용하여, 핵의 초기 반경 별로 개수를 계산하였고 이들을 압력 강하가 큰 날개 끝 전류에 랜덤하게 배치하였다. 이후 공동소음 해석을 위해 각각의 핵에 대하여 Lagrangian 관점에서 버블 다이나믹스를 활용하였고, 계산된 공동의 거동으로부터 소음해석을 수행하였다. 공동소음은 광대역 소음의 특성을 가지는 것을 확인하였으며, 최종적으로 선박해양플랜트연구소(KRISO)의 대형캐비테이션터널(LCT)에서 수행된 실험 계측결과와의 비교를 통해 검증을 수행하였다.

Propellent should be pressurized inside the turbopump to gain high thrust in a projectile. Turbopump is composed of an inducer, which prevents impeller performance deterioration, and an impeller. Several types of cavitation occur inside the inducer, numerous experiments and CFD simulations are conducted. Though, an inducer takes only small portion of total head of the pump and the following impeller determines whole turbopump performance. In addition, low inlet pressure makes the flow to be cavitated not only at the inducer, but also at the impeller in real cases. Therefore, flow through an inducer and an impeller should considered simultaneously. In this study, LOX pump composed of an inducer and an impeller is analyzed by using commercial CFD code ANSYS CFX 13.0. Non-cavitating flow with high inlet pressure and cavitating flow with low inlet pressure are both simulated and head, suction performances are shown. Evolution of the flow and the cavitation by reducing cavitation number and effect of cavitation on pump performance are studied.

터보펌프 인듀서에서 발생하는 캐비테이션은 시작점부터 점차 발달하여 임계점, 그리고 급격한 양정하락으로 이어지는 붕괴점의 체제로 진행된다. 본 연구에서는 터보펌프 인듀서에서 발생하는 캐비테이션 시작점에 대한 특성과 예측 경험식을 평가해 보았다. 타원 평판에서 캐비테이션 시작점의 경험식은 터보펌프 인듀서에서도 비교적 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, 선박용 프로펠러에서 사용되는 예측 경험식의 경우 터보펌프 인듀서에서는 큰 차이를 보였다. 이는 운전 영역에서의 레이놀즈수가 다르기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다.

액체로켓엔진용 산화제펌프의 캐비테이션 시험 중 입출구 배관과 펌프 케이싱에서 계측된 고주파 신호를 분석하였다. 각각의 데이터의 RMS 값을 캐비테이션 수에 따라 표현하였다. 회전수 동기 주파수와 날개 개수 성분, 캐비테이션 불안정성 주파수의 RMS를 계산하였다. 입구 배관의 압력섭동은 캐비테이션 불안정성의 영향을 받았다. 출구 배관의 경우 3x 성분이 탁월하였는데, 인듀서에서 발생한 3x 성분이 임펠러에서 증폭된 결과로 해석된다. 케이싱에 부착된 가속도계에서도 캐비테이션 불안정성에 해당하는 주파수가 확인되었다.

During an experimental investigation on a 3-bladed and a 4-bladed axial inducer, a severe surge instability was observed in a range of cavitation number where the blade passage is choked and the inducer head is decreased from noncavitating value. The surge was stronger for the 4-bladed inducer as compared with a 3-bladed inducer with the same inlet and outlet blade angles. For the 4-bladed inducer, the head decreases suddenly as the cavitation number is decreased. The surge was observed after the sudden drop of head. This head drop was found to be associated with a rapid extension of tip cavity into the blade passage. The cause of surge is attributed to the decrease of the negative slope of the head-flow rate performance curve due to choke. Assuming that the difference between the 3 and 4-bladed inducers is caused by the difference of the blockage effects of the blade, a test was carried out by thickening the blades of the 3-bladed inducer. However, opposite to the expectations, the head drop became smoother and the instability disappeared on the thickened blade inducer. Examination of the pressure distribution on both inducers could not explain the difference. It was pointed out that two-dimensional cavitating flow analyses predict smaller breakdown cavitation number at higher flow rates, if the incidence angle is smaller than half of the blade angle. This causes the positive slope of the performance curve and suggests that the choked surge as observed in the present study might occur in more general cases.
