This paper shows the study of preswirl duct as an effective energy saving devices that have been devised and reviewed to support the propeller performance, especially for the ship of VLCC with large block coefficients. From the bare hull wake measurements, typical upper/lower asymmetry of hull wake at the propeller disk was found. The 2 kinds of pre-swirl duct, Unconventional half circular duct and Conventional circular pre-swirl duct have been designed and reviewed to recover the loss of propeller running in that condition. The general function of the pre-swirl duct was set to work against this asymmetry of wake and generate pre-swirled flow into the propeller against the propeller rotating direction. The optimum self propulsion tests with various angle configurations were carried out and the best configuration was decided. Accordingly, cavitation test was carried out with best configuration of unconventional half circular duct. The blade surface and tip vortex cavitation behaved smoother when the duct was mounted. The hull pressure amplitudes reflected this difference, so the hull pressure amplitude with duct was smaller than that of without duct.

Since a cavitation pattern in model scale can be different from that in full scale, it has been highly demanded to measure a fluctuating pressure induced by propeller in full scale. For the verification of the cavitation test for 105K lanker in the large cavitation tunnel in Samsung Ship Model Basin(SSMB), an effective pressure fluctuation measurement system was developed and a series of full scale measurements was carried out. These results were compared with those of cavitation tests in SSMB. The measured results in full scale gave good agreements to those in model tests. The fluctuating pressure at $2^{nd}$ blade frequency in full scale seems to be highly dependent upon tip loading.

As considerable interests in noise emission from a ship have been increased, the need for localization of noise sources of the marine propeller generating cavitation and singing noise is looming large. In many practical cases, cavitation and singing noise occur on a particular position of the certain blade of the propeller. It is so important to know the position of noise source correctly in order to eliminate or suppress unwanted noise. In this study, we develop "noise source localization technology" using TDOA method. Experimental measurements carried out at the circulating water channel and towing tank show that noise source can be clearly identified and localized using TDOA method.

본 논문은 불균일한 선미 유동장에서 작동하는 프로펠러의 성능 해석을 위한 포텐셜을 기저로 한 판요소법을 기술하고 있다. 본 방법은 법선 다이폴과 쏘오스를 프로펠러의 날개, 허브, 그리고 후류면에 분포하였고, 비정상 유동의 해석 방법으로는 시간 전진법에 의한 방법을 취함으로써 다이폴의 세기를 미지수로 하는 적분방정식을 얻고, 이산화하여 수치적으로 계산하였다. 2차원 날개에 대한 수치해석을 수행하여 해석해와 비교함으로써 시간간격에 대한 수렴성을 확보하였다. 또한, DTRC 4118 프로펠러에 대하여 조화반류하에서 작동하는 프로펠러의 비정상 성능을 해석하여 실험치와 비교함으로써 시간영역에서 프로펠러의 비정상 성능해석이 가능함을 보였다.

This paper deals with a theoretical method for the design of a biased asymmetric preswirl stator propulsion system which has been used to increase efficiency by the recovery of a propeller slipstream rotational energy by the counter rotating flow of a stator. In the case of full slow-speed ship, the upward flow is generated at the propeller plane by the after body hull form. The generated upward flow cancells the rotating flow of the propeller at the starboard part while it increases at port part. A biased asymmetric preswirl stator propulsion system consists of three blades at the port and one blade at the starboard which can recover the biased rotating flow effectively. This paper provides the design concept which gives more simple and a high degree of efficiency. The model tests for the designed compound propulsion system will be carried out later.

This study analyzed the wake characteristics of the rim-driven propeller (RDP) used in an underwater robot. For underwater robots to perform specific missions, not only propulsion characteristics but also wake characteristics must be considered. In this study, a blade was designed based on NAC 0012 with a symmetrical cross-section. The RDP was hubless with three or four blades. The influence of both the free water surface and the bottom was considered, and the wake was measured using a particle image velocimetry in the advance ratio of 0.2 to 1. Model 1 showed symmetrical wakes in the entire advance ratio section. Model 2 showed asymmetric wakes due to the influence of the free water surface and the bottom at low advance ratio.

This paper presents a preliminary study of the influence of roughness due to marine propeller blades machining on their performance. A blade surface finish that has been roughened by corrosion, cavitation and other phenomena, leads to a power penalty. Thus propellers manufacturers tend to propose blades of great surface finish, even mirror-polished. However achieving such surface finish increases manufacturing costs. With modem manufacturing means, propellers can now be machined while preserving a good surface finish. We have studied the influence of manufacturing strategy on an aspect of hydrodynamic performance, cavitation.

The leading edge of a low-drag super-cavitating foil has been made to be thick enough by using a point drag which is supposed to be a linear model of the Kirchhoff lamina. In the present paper, the relation between the point drag and the Kirchhoff lamina is made clear by analyzing the cavity drag of both models and the leading edge radius of the point drag model and the lamina thickness of Kirchhoff\`s profile K. The matched asymptotic expansion is effectively made use of in designing a practical super-cavitating fool which is not only of low drag but also structurally sound. Also it has a distinct leading edge cavity separation point. The cavity foil shapes of trans-cavitating propeller blade sections designed by present method are shown.

The strength data on AlBC3 and HBsC1 which are used for materials of marine propeller blade are insufficient as used of material limited and even rules of KR(Korean Register of Shipping) describe only a point of view that the chemical composition and men values of mechanical proper-ties have to be certain level. In this study distribution characteristics as well as mean values of mechanical properties are investigated through the tensile test and the characteristics of fatigue strength are investigated through the fatigue test.

본 논문은 HPA(Human Powered Aircraft) 제작 계획서를 작성하기 위해 프로펠러에 사용하는 에어포일을 작년에 접하게 된 EDISON-CFD 분석을 이용하여 기존에 X-foil로 얻어진 날개 익형에 대한 양력계수와 항력계수, 양항비와 비교하였다. 프로펠러 허브로부터 거리에 따른 단면에 해당하는 레이놀즈 수, 마하수, 받음각, 시위길이를 고려하여 에어포일을 분석해 보았다. 그 결과를 통해 프로펠러 에어포일을 선정하는데 많은 도움이 되었다. EDISON-CFD 분석에 대해 좀 더 공부하는 계기가 되어 우리 팀이 앞으로 졸업논문을 쓰는데 많은 도움이 될 것이다.
