The effects of the air on the reductions in resistance when supplied under the bottom of a semi-planing ship with a step are investigated in the present study. A 1.275m long FRP model is constructed and the pressure and viscous tangential stresses over the planing surface of the hull with and without air supply are measured through measuring holes carefully selected at the towing tank of Seoul National University. Locations of holes most suitable for air injection are surveyed in front of the planing surface of the model with careful examinations of the limiting streamlines and pressure distributions measured without air supply. At those locations, found to be just front of the step, air has been supplied into a wake region to form an air filled cavity of fixed type. Flow rates and pressure of the supplied air as well as the local pressure and shear stress distributions on the hull surface are measured to understand the physics involved as well as to determine the conditions most effective in resistance reduction at the design speed. It has been found that total resistance of the stepped semi-planing hull can be considerably reduced if an air cavity generated by an adequate air injection at the bottom of the hull near the step. After the cavity optimized at the given speed, air bubbles also have been generated right behind the point where dividing streamlines re-attach to further reduce the frictional resistance but found to be not so effective as the air cavity in resistance reductions.

Planing hull forms have significant influences on those hydrodynamic performances in calm water and in waves. Therefore, the hydrodynamic performance of a planing vessel should be predicted by model tests or theoretical calculations, and be confirmed whether it shows the performance requirements at the design stage. In this study, four planing hull forms are designed with the goal of the improvement of resistance and seakeeping performance, and 1/6.5 scale model tests are carried out in Seoul National University towing tank. The effects of design parameters such as length-to-beam ratio, deadrise angle and forebody shape on the hydrodynamic performance are investigated, based on model test results. Running attitude and resistance of model ships in calm water are also estimated by empirical formulae proposed by Savitsky (1964; 2007; 2012), and compared with the model test results. It is shown that calm water performance of non-prismatic planing hulls can be predicted well by Savitsky (2012)'s formula which improves the original Savitsky(1964/2007)'s formula by taking into account the variations of deadrise angles, and the actual angles between the hull bottom and the free surface.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a neurofuzzy modeling & inference system which can determine principle dimensions and hull factors in an initial ship design. Neurofuzzy modeling & inference for a hull form design (NeFHull) applies the given input-output data to the fuzzy theory. NeFHull also deals the fuzzificated values with neural networks. NeFHull redefines normalized input-output data as membership functions and executes the fuzzficated information with backporpagation-neural -networks. A hybrid learning algorithms utilized in the training of neural networks and examining the usefulness of suggested method through mathematical and mechanical examples.

This paper presents the results of research on transverse shrinkage of welded butt joints conducted according to the principles of experimental design and under production conditions for two main welding techniques used in shipbuilding (FCAW and SAW). Analysis took into account the technological and structural parameters influencing the assembly suitability of a large steel structure. The presented method of evaluation makes it possible to apply approximation formulae to predict transverse shrinkage in real sections of a ship hull. The determined predictive formulae were verified to actual transverse shrinkage measurements during prefabrication of hull sections at a shipyard as well as the equations referring to the analyzed form of deformation available in the literature.

본 논문에서는 선체로부터 멀리 전파해 나아가는 선형파와 선체 가까이에 존재하는 쇄파로 인한 조파저항성분을 최소화시키는 방법을 보여준다. 본 방법은 선형조파저항의 최적화 방법과 시험자료 분석을 통한 쇄파저항의 통계적 최적화방법으로 구성된다. 응용목적으로서, 수선형상이 포물선이고 측면이 수직한 모형을 기본선형으로 택하였고, 선형파를 최적화하는 방법과 경험적인 방법을 통하여서 선체전반부의 횡단면적 곡선을 변화시킨 두척의 수정모형선을 얻었다. 3척의 선형에 대한 시험 및 분석결과로부터 선체전반부의 횡단면적 곡선의 변화에 따른 선형파저항과 쇄파저항과의 상관관계를 살펴보았다. 본 방법으로 선체전반부가 최적화된 선형은 설계속도($F_n=0.26$)에서 기본선형에 비하여 약 47%의 조파저항감소를 보이고 있다.

본 논문에서는 충주호에서 유람선으로 사용되고 있는 광폭천흘수형 선박을 대상으로 선정하고, 공기를 공급하여 선저에 공동을 형성시켜 마찰저항을 감소시킬 수 있도록 선박의 선저형상을 개량하였다. 2차원 공동문제로 이상화하여 선저에 부착되는 공동을 이론적 방법으로 수치해석하여 공기공동의 형상과 내부압력을 추정하였고 공동현상을 지배하는 무차원수를 살펴보았다. 예인수조에서 모형선실험을 시행하고 단의 높이변화, 선측의 공기유출막이벽 등에 의한 공기공동의 형성과 저항감소효과를 조사하였다. 또한 투명한 아크릴로 제작된 선저부를 통해, 선저에 부착되는 공기공동의 발달과정을 관측하였다. 이러한 연구를 통하여, 실선선형의 선저부 형상을 적절히 개량하고 공기를 공급함으로써 설계속도 부근에서 원래선형의 전저항의 25%정도를 줄일 수 있음을 모형선에서 확인하였다.

In the early stage of ship design, the rapid prediction of resistance of hull forms is required. Although there are more accurate prediction methods such as model test and CFD analysis, statistical methods are still widely used because of their cost-effectiveness and quickness in producing the results. This study suggests the prediction formula for the residual resistance coefficient (Cr) of the low-speed full ships. The formula was derived from the statistical analysis of model test results in KRISO database. In order to improve prediction accuracy, the local variables of hull forms are defined and used for the regression process. The regression formula for these variables using only principal dimensions of hull forms are also provided.

Ever increasing fuel prices, almost doubled in the last three years, and global pressure to reduce their environmental impact have been enforcing commercial vessel operators and designers to re-assess current vessel designs with emphasis on their propulsion systems and operational practices. In this paper the "Inclined Keel Hull (IKH)" concept, which facilitates to use larger propeller diameter in combination with lower shaft speed rates and hence better transport efficiency, is explored for a modern 3600 TEU container vessel with the aim of fitting an 13 % larger diameter propeller (and hence resulting 20% lower rpm) to gain further power saving over the similar size basis container ship with conventional "level keel" configuration. It appears that successful application of the "inclined keel Hull" concept is a fine balance amongst the maximum gain in propulsive efficiency, minimum increase in hull resistance and satisfaction of other naval architectural and operational requirements. In order to make the concept economically more viable, this paper concentrates on the fore body design with the possible combination of increase of volume in its fore body to recover the expected volume loss in the aft body due to the space for larger propeller and its low wave-making resistance to minimize the efficiency loss using a well-established optimization software.

From first-order thin-ship theory, we can obtain the" wave resistance, wave amplitude functions, wave elevation along the hull, sinkage and trim of a ship moving with constant speed into calm water. Generally, these calculations of ship is called with Michell’s Theory, and there is all the difference between calculated wave resistance and residual resistance from conventional wave resis¬tance test. But, these calculated results are important reference materials for initial hull form design procedure. Various calculated results for Shearer’ s Model, Wigley’s Model and Series 60 4210W Model have been calculated using this theory. The results are compared with the corresponding experimental values, and the agreement between theoretical and experimental values is considered satisfactory.

The aim of present study is to evaluate the stability of GM(Metacentric Height) calculation and investigate the damping effect of free rolling test. Moreover, GZ(Righting arm in stability) curve shows that it can provide reasonable design conditions for Fish boat. The roll damping characteristics of the improved model for an 7.9 ton class fishing boat are investigated through the free roll test in towing tank. The safety and boarding sensitivity are evaluated by GM calculation and roll motion period. Therefore, the results in this paper describe that the effect for improved hull is more improved than the original hull.
