During the final quarter of the last century considerable efforts have been spent to reduce the hull pressure fluctuations caused by unsteady propeller cavitation. This has resulted in further changes in propeller design characteristics including increased skew, tip unloading and introduction of "New Blade Sections" (NBS) designed on the basis of the so-called Eppler code. An experimental study was carried out to investigate flow characteristics of alternative two-dimensional (2-D) blade sections of rectangular planform, one of which was the New Blade Section (NBS) developed in Newcastle University and other was based on the well-known National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) section. The experiments comprised the cavitation observations and the measurements of the local velocity distribution around the blade sections by using a 2-D Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA) system. Analysis of the cavitation tests demonstrated that the two blade sections presented very similar bucket shapes with virtually no width at the bottom but relatively favourable buckets arms at the suction and pressure sides for the NACA section. Similarly, pressure analysis of the sections displayed a slightly larger value for the NBS pressure peak. The comparative overall pressure distributions around the sections suggested that the NBS might be more susceptible to cavitation than the NACA section. This can be closely related to the fundamental shape of the NBS with very fine leading edge. Therefore a further investigation into the modification of the leading edge should be considered to improve the cavitation behaviour of the NBS.

A series of water tests of a fuel pump for liquid rocket engines are performed at a room temperature. According to the test results, the head coefficient of the pump follows the conventional similarity rule - unlike this, the pump shows better efficiency with higher rotational speed. Also, it is found that the pressure at the rear bearing outlet is higher than expected because the inlet of bypass pipe line is narrow. Furthermore, the cavitation performance of the fuel pump is found to be sufficient for the engine operation and is better at the lower flow ratio and higher rotational speed.

캐비테이션 특성이 우수하고 넓은 받음각에서 양력-향력비가 큰 새로운 날개단면(KH18 단면)을 사용하여 체계적인 방법으로 기하학적 형상을 변화시켜 설계된 새로운 계열 프로펠러의 개발을 시도하였다. 새로운 계열 프로펠러의 형상을 설계함에 있어 기존의 계열 프로펠러와는 달리 선택된 반류분포의 회전방향 평균 반류분포를 입력자료로 하여 반경방향 부하분포와 코오드 방향 부하분포를 동일하게 유지하면서 피치 및 캠버의 형상을 결정하였다. 또한 코오드 길이, 두께, 스큐 및 레이크 분포와 같은 형상은 최근 실적선 프로펠러의 형상 특성을 정형화하여 선택되었기 때문에 초기설계시 설계된 형상이 최종 설계 프로펠러의 형상과 크게 다르지 않을 것으로 생각되어 초기성능을 보다 정확하게 추정할 수 있게 하였다. 설계된 계열 프로펠러는 날개수 4개인 프로펠러를 대상으로 날개 전개면적비 4개($A_{E}/A_{O}$=0.3, 0.45, 0.6, 0.75)에 대하여 각 전개면적비에서 평균피치비를 5개(P/D=0.5, 0.65, 0.8, 0.95, 1.1)로 변화시켜 총 20개의 프로펠러로 구성되었으며 KD-프로펠러 씨리즈(KRISO-DAEWOO Propeller Series)라 명명하였다. 설계된 계열 프로펠러들에 대하여 단독특성시험, 캐비테이션 관찰시험, 변동압력 계측시험을 수행하였다. 프로펠러 단독특성 시험결과의 회귀해석결과로 부터 $B_{P}-\delta$ 곡선을 도출하여 초기설계 단계에서 최적 프로펠러 직경등을 쉽게 결정할 수 있게 하였다. 기준으로 선택된 반류분포(2700TEU 콘테이너선의 반류) 후류에서 프로펠러 추력계수 및 캐비테이션 수를 체계적으로 변화시킨 상태에서 캐비테이션 관찰시험 및 변동압력계측시험을 수행하였다. 양력면이론에 의한 비정상 프로펠러 성능해석에 의해 계산된 최대 국부양력계수 ($C^{max}_{l,0.8R}$)와 국부캐비테이션 수(${\sigma}_0=\frac{p-p_v}{\frac{1}{2}{\rho}V^2_{0.8R}}$)를 기준으로 캐비테이션 관찰시험 결과를 정리하여 KD-캐비테이션 챠트를 도출하였다. 기존의 캐비테이션 챠트는 균일류중의 시험 결과를 정리하여 작성되었으나 KD-캐비테이션 챠트는 반류분포중에서 시험된 프로펠러 관찰시험 결과로 부터 도출되었으므로 초기설계 단계에서 보다 정확한 캐비테이션 발생량 추정이 가능하리라 예상된다.

Ultrasonic waves have several mechanical, chemical, and biological effects on a saturated soil medium. Their mechanical effects, popularly known as cavitation. Cavitation is the rapid and repeated formation, and resulting implosion, of imcrobubbles in a liquid, resulting in the propagation of microscopic shock waves. In a soil-liquid system, their mechanical effects generate high differntial fluid-particle velocities and microscopic shock waves. The velocity perturbations are capable of dislodging oil in the system by overcoming the forces binding oil to sand particles. In this study, a series of laboratory experiments involving the simple flushing and ultrasonic flushing were carried out. An increase in permeability and oil removal rate were observed in ultrasonic flushing tests. Some practical implications of these results are discussed in terms of technical feasibility of in situ implementation of ultrasonics.

액체질소를 작동유체로 한 극저온 시험설비를 이용하여 산화제펌프의 성능시험을 수행하였다. 설계회전수의 30~55%영역에서 시험을 수행하였으며, 그 결과를 작동유체로 물을 이용한 상온수류시험의 결과와 비교/분석하였다. 수력성능에 있어서는 회전수에 대한 상사성을 만족시킴으로써, 설계회전수인 20000rpm에서의 성능예측을 가능하게 했다. 펌프의 극저온 흡입성능에서는 설계유량에서 극저온 임계 캐비테이션 수가 0.012으로 나타났으며, 상온수류시험의 경우는 0.024를 보이면서, 모든 시험회전수와 시험유량영역에서 수류시험의 경우보다 향상된 결과를 보였다. 이러한 향상된 극저온 환경에서의 흡입성능은 극저온 유체에서 펌프의 열역학적인 효과로부터 기인하는 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents numerical results of the performance of a marin propeller in cavitating and non-cavitating flow conditions. The geometry and experimental validation data of the propeller are provided in Potsdam Propeller Test Case(PPTC) in the framework of the second International Symposium on Marine Propulsors 2011(SMP'11) workshop. The PPTC includes open water tests, velocity field measurements and cavitation tests. The present numerical analysis was carried out by using the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) method on a wall-resolved grid ensuring a y+=1, where the SST k-${\omega}$ model was mainly used for turbulence closure. The influence of the turbulence model was investigated in the prediction of the wake field under a non-cavitating flow condition. The propeller tip vortex flows in both cavitating and non-cavitating conditions were captured through adaptation of additional grids. For the cavitation flows at three operation points, Schnerr-Sauer's cavitation model was used with a Volume-Of Fluid(VOF) approach to capture the two-phase flows. The present numerical results for the propeller wake and cavitation predictions including the open water performance showed a qualitatively reasonable agreement with the model test results.

Large Cavitation Tunnel (LCT) of KRISO enables us to conduct cavitation tests of the propeller attached to a ship model. As the ship model tests are done at rather high Reynolds number of 107~108, flow measurement system such as pitot tube cannot be employed because of structural safety problems in its system and difficulties in installing it within the test section. Thus, KRISO has developed new 3-D LDV system used in large test section of LCT. There are several difficulties in using 3-D LDV, which did not allow efficient operation of it. The first trouble was the calibration using the conventional pin hole. To make the focus with same laser-beam waists at the wanted position, the high spatial resolution CCD is utilized in the calibration procedure for 3-D LDV. The off-axis configuration provides two velocity components in the horizontal plane and on-axis configuration gives third velocity component in the vertical plane. The horizontal velocity components are also obtained in the coincidence mode, which prevents any misleading results in the off-axis configuration. The nominal wake of Aframax tanker model is measured by the developed 3-D LDV system. The measured hull wake showed good agreement with that obtained by CFD calculation.

The experimental results of the model tests for the twin propeller cavitation noise are presented. The model test was carried out by means of procedure of noise measurement followed by the signal processing and full-scale extrapolation. In order to convert the measured sound pressure level into the sound source level, transfer function measurements for three conditions were performed according to the combination of locations and number of virtual sources. White noise and LFM signal were used as a source signals to examine the influence of the input signal. For the twin propellers, 5 transfer functions were defined and the results were discussed. Cavitation noise measurement tests were performed similarly to the transfer function measurement test. Noise source localization analysis was performed to confirm the test effectiveness. It was confirmed that the source level of the twin propeller can be estimated reliably by using transfer function corrections. Finally, the model test results were converted into full-scale by applying the ITTC '87 model-ship scaling raw, and the validity of the model test was confirmed by comparison with the full-scale measurement result.

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.

It is reported to develop the driving pump for the Low Noise Large Cavitation Tunnel(LOCAT) which is under construction at Maritime & Ocean Engineering Research Institute(MOERI). For low background noise condition of the LOCAT, it is crucial not only the best pump efficiency but also no cavity occurrence at any operating conditions. Design condition of the pump is determined by considering the required pump headrise, flow quantity, shaft rotation velocity and pump diameter. Performance analysis of the pump is conducted using commercial CFD codes ($BladeGen^+$, CFX-10), and the predicted results are verified by a series of model tests. Cavity was not observed at any operating condition in the model test, which were conducted at the midium cavitation tunnel of MOERI. The optimum pump for LOCAT, named as LP-11, was successfully developed through a series of pump design processes composed of blade design, performance analysis and model test.
