VLCC 추진축계의 선미관 후부 베어링에서 주로 발생하는 발열 사고는 프로펠러 하중이 추진축을 처지게 하여 후방부에 과도한 국부압착압력이 작용하는 것이 주된 원인이다. 최근 VLCC는 엔진 출력이 크고 축 직경이 증가하는 반면 선미관전부 베어링과 후부 베어링 사이의 간격이 상대적으로 짧아져 축계 시스템의 유연성이 저하되는 경향이 있으며, 이로 인해 발열 사고 가능성에 대한 우려가 커지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 선체의 변형에 대한 축계의 유연성을 확보하기 위한 방안으로 선미관 전부 베어링을 삭제하고 선미관 후부 베어링만을 설치한 새로운 축계 시스템의 적용 가능성을 검토하였다. 국부압착압력의 계산에 있어서는 접촉 너비를 따라 반 타원 형상의 압력 분포를 가정한 Hertzian 접촉 조건을 도입하였으며, 엔진 가동 상태의 프로펠러 하중, 열 효과 및 선체 변형을 고려하였다. 제안된 축계 시스템에 대한 해석을 통해 선미관 후부 베어링의 축 접촉면 재료인 화이트 메탈에 부분 경사를 추가 시공함으로써 설계 요구 조건이 만족됨을 확인하였다. 제안된 축계 시스템의 적용을 통해 발열 사고 예방을 위한 축계 유연성 확보 뿐 만 아니라 시스템의 단순화를 통한 설치비용의 감소 등 부가적인 효과도 기대할 수 있다.

An outdoor free-running model test system was designed for assessing ship maneuverability with test uncertainty. The test model was a surface combatant of tumblehome hull geometry. The straight forward tests were conducted first to obtain the relationship between the propeller revolution rate and advance speed. During the outdoor tests, the propeller revolution rate to achieve a certain Froude number condition was higher than that in the indoor free-running model tests. Turning circle and zigzag tests for evaluating ship maneuverability criteria were carried out at the propeller revolution rate determined by the straight forward test results. The random and systematic standard uncertainties of maneuvering criteria were obtained by repeated tests and comparison with the indoor free-running model test results, respectively. The test uncertainty was largely dominated by the systematic standard uncertainty, while the random standard uncertainty was small with good repeatability.

프로펠러 회전면에서의 반류분포는 주로 모형시험에 의해서 규명되어 왔다. 이렇게 축적된 데이터베이스를 통해 선박의 기하학적 형상정보와 반류분포 사이의 입출력관계를 모델링할 수 있다면 선박 초기설계시 유사선종의 설계에 도움이 된다. 뉴로퍼지시스템은 예측, 분류, 진단 등의 매우 복잡한 문제를 해결하는 기법으로 다양한 공학분야에서 응용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이들 입출력 사이의 관계를 뉴로퍼지시스템으로 모델링하고 학습한 후 새로운 입력에 대한 출력값의 검토를 통해 그 유용성을 확인한다. 3차원 선미형상을 입력으로 하고 선체 모형시험으로 얻어진 프로펠러 회전면에서의 반류분포 값을 출력으로 사용하여 학습 및 추론을 해 보았다. 이를 통해 뉴로퍼지시스템을 초기 선박설계 단계에서 특히 선미형상을 결정할 때 유용한 것을 확인하였다.

Stern bearing is a key component of marine propulsion plant. Its environment is diverse, working condition changeable, and condition severe, so that stern bearing load is of strong time variability, which directly affects the safety and reliability of the system and the normal navigation of ships. In this paper, three affecting factors of the stern bearing load such as hull deformation, propeller hydrodynamic vertical force and bearing wear are calculated and characterized by random theory. The uncertainty mathematical model of stern bearing load is established to research the relationships between factors and uncertainty load of stern bearing. The validity of calculation mathematical model and results is verified by examples and experiment yet. Therefore, the research on the uncertainty load of stern bearing has important theoretical significance and engineering practical value.

Proper shaft alignment is one of the most important actions during the design of the propulsion system. The stiffness of recently designed marine propulsion shafting has been increasing remarkably, whereas hull structures have become more likely to deform as a result of optimized design of the scantlings and the high tensile steel. Therefore, to obtain the optimum status in shafting alignment at the design stage, it is strongly recommended that the change of bearing reaction force depending on ballast/load condition, the bending moment force occurred by propeller thrust, elastic deformation of bearing occurred by vertical load of shaft mass and etc., should be considered. This paper dealing with introduction of shaft alignment concerning long shaft for high speed vessel and review its reliability evaluation theoretically.

Dynamic Positioning (DP) is used to automatically maintain the position and heading of a floating structure subjected to environmental disturbances. A DP control system is composed of a motion controller to compute the desired force and moment and a thrust allocator to distribute the computed force and moment to multiple thrusters considering mechanical and operational constraints. Among various thruster configurations, azimuth thrusters or propeller/rudder pairs tend to make the allocation problem difficult to solve, because these types of propulsion systems include nonlinear constraints. In this paper, a dynamic positioning strategy for a twin-thruster ship that is propelled by two azimuthing thrusters is addressed, and a thrust allocation method which does not require a numerical optimization solver is proposed. The applicability of the proposed method is demonstrated with an experiment using an autonomous boat.

As design trends has changed to have flexible aft hull structure, increased power output and stiffer shafting system, owners and classification societies have more concerned about shaft alignment. In the shaft alignment analysis, there are many uncertainties which are related in propeller generated force, bearing stiffness, crank shaft model and etc. in this study, it is focused on the effect of crankshaft model by comparing between equivalent model and actual crankshaft model.

Precise propulsion shafting alignment of ships is very important to prevent damage of its support bearings due to excessive reaction forces caused by hull deflection, forces acted on propeller and crankshaft, and so forth. In this paper, a new iterative shafting alignment calculation procedure considering the interaction between shaft deflection and oil film pressure of Sterntube Journal Bearing (SJB) bush with single or multiple slopes is proposed. The procedure is based on a pressure analysis to evaluate distributed equivalent support stiffness of SJB by solving Reynolds equation and a deflection analysis of shafting system by a finite element method based on Timoshenko beam theory. SJB is approximated with multi-point biaxial elastic supports equally distributed to its length. Their initial stiffness values are estimated from dynamic reaction force calculated by assuming SJB as single rigid support. Then, the shaft deflection and the support stiffness of SJB are sequentially and iteratively calculated by applying a criteria on deflection variation between sequential calculation results. To demonstrate validity and applicability of the proposed procedure for optimal slope design of SJB, numerical analysis results for a shafting system are described.

Propulsion in waves is a complex physical process that involves interactions between a hull, a propeller, a shaft and a prime mover which is often a diesel engine. Among the relevant components, the diesel engine plays an important role in the overall system dynamics. Therefore, using a proper model for the diesel engine is essential to achieve the reasonable accuracy of the transient simulation of the entire system. In this paper, a simulation model of a propulsion system in waves is presented with emphasis on modeling a two-stroke marine diesel engine: the framework for building such a model and its mathematical descriptions. The models are validated against available measurement data, and a sensitivity analysis for the transient performance of the diesel engine is carried out. Finally, the results of the system simulations under various wave conditions are analyzed to understand the physical processes and compare the efficiency for different cases.

본 연구에서는 레이놀즈 평균 나비어-스톡스(Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes, RANS) 방정식을 적용하여 스러스터(thruster) 상호작용에 대한 점성 유동 CFD 해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석은 상용 프로그램인 STAR-CCM+를 이용하였으며, 프로펠러와 No.19a 덕트로 스러스터 모델을 구성하였다. 프로펠러의 회전에 의한 동적인 움직임의 해석을 위해 슬라이딩 격자(sliding mesh)기법을 사용하였으며, 격자구성은 다중영역으로 구분하여 육면체 격자(hexahedral element)로 구성하였고, 계산 시간의 경제성을 고려하여 비등각(non-conformal) 격자를 이용하였다. 스러스터 배치를 그대로 유지한 상태에서 상류방향 스러스터의 방위각(azimuth angle)과 축 기울기에 따라 스러스터 상호작용이 크게 변화하였다. 이러한 결과를 통해 축 기울기와 방위각이 추진성능에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다.
