본 논문은 선박 추진기의 캐비테이션 침식현상을 연구하기 위하여 추진기에서 발생하는 소음과 캐비테이션 격렬도의 연관성에 대하여 분석하였다. 캐비테이션 침식은 캐비테이션 붕괴의 빈도와 강도로 정의 할 수 있는 '캐비테이션 격렬도'와 밀접히 연관되어 있다. 캐비테이션 붕괴에 의해서 발생하는 압력파는 다양한 진폭과 지속시간의 연속적인 펄스의 형태로 나타나며 이를 캐비테이션 거동과 동조 분석하여 캐비테이션 붕괴에 따른 추진기 소음 연관성을 파악하였다. 이 기법을 경사축 추진기시험을 활용하여 추진기침식시험에 대한 정량적 평가방안을 제시하였다.

The Axiom propeller is a unique 3 bladed propeller and it enables to generate the same amount of thrust going ahead as it does going astern because of its 's' type skew-symmetric blade section. A earlier variant of the design (Axiom I propeller) performed a low propeller efficiency, maximum 35 % efficiency, and further blade outline design was carried out to achieve a higher efficiency. The optimized new blade outline (Axiom II propeller) has more conventional Kaplan geometry shape than Axiom I propeller. Model tests of open water performance and propeller cavitation for both propellers were conducted at Emerson Cavitation Tunnel in order to compare their performances. Experiment results revealed that Axiom II propeller provides a maximum 53 % efficiency and provides better efficiency and cavitation performance over the Axiom I propeller under similar conditions.

In order to investigate the influence of thru holes near leading edge of model propeller on cavitation behavior, a model propeller with thru holes was manufactured and tested at Large Cavitation Tunnel (LCT). The pressure distribution around the thru hole on propeller blade was numerically calculated to help understand the local flow characteristics related to cavitation behavior. The model propeller is a five bladed propeller which has 2 blades with thru holes and 3 blades with smooth surface. The cavitation observation tests were conducted at angles of $0^{\circ}$ & $6^{\circ}$ using an inclined-shaft dynamometer in LCT. There are big difference on the suction side cavitation behavior each other due to the existence of thru hole. While the blades with thou holes start generation of the sheet cavitation from the leading edge on the suction side, the blades with smooth surface generate the cloud cavitation from the mid-chord. Cavitation on the blades with thru holes shows more similar behavior to those of the full-scale propeller of which the pipe line for air injection is closed. The numerical analysis result shows that the sharp pressure drop occurs around thru holes on the blade. Consequently, the thru hole around leading edge stimulates the cavitation occurrence and stabilizes the cavitation behavior. Based on these results, the effect of thru holes on propeller cavitation behavior behind a model ship should be studied in the future.

본 논문은 추진기 모형시험을 이용하여 추진기 날개 끝 보텍스 캐비테이션의 소음특성 및 추진기 캐비테이션 초생 (propeller cavitation inception) 분석에 관한 연구이다. 날개 끝 보텍스 캐비테이션은 일반적으로 추진기에서 가장 먼저 발생하는 캐비테이션으로 발생 유무에 따라 수중방사소음 수준과 특성이 달라진다. 특히 캐비테이션 초생 이후 선속이 높아짐에 따라 급격하게 소음수준이 증가한다고 알려져 있다. 그러므로 함정 추진기에서 날개 끝 보텍스 캐비테이션 발생을 지연시키는 것과 더불어 추진기 캐비테이션의 소음특성을 분석하고 캐비테이션 초생을 판단하는 것 역시 함정 및 수중무기체계의 추진기 개발에 있어 매우 중요한 문제라 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 추진기 날개 끝 보텍스 캐비테이션의 발생과 성장에 따른 소음특성 변화를 분석하고 다양한 영상-소음 계측 및 분석기법을 활용하여 추진기 캐비테이션 초생 판단기법을 제시하였다.

As the scale factor of model propellers utilized in cavitation test is about 40, it is difficult to find out practical countermeasures against the small area erosions on the blade tip region throughout model erosion tests. In this study, a partial propeller blade model was used for the observation of cavitation pattern for the eroded propeller. A partial propeller blade model was manufactured from 0.7R to tip with expanded profile and with adjustable device of angle of attack. Reynold's number of a partial propeller blade model is 7 times larger than that of a model propeller. Also, anti-singing edge and application of countermeasures to partial propeller blade model which produced in large scale can be more practical than a model propeller. For the observation of cavitation at high Reynold's number, high speed cavitation tunnel was used. To find out the most severe erosive blade position during a revolution, cavitation observation tests were carried out at 5 blade angle positions.

In order to improve the propeller cavitation performance composed of Cavitation Inception Speed (CIS), cavitation extent and pressure fluctuation, it needs to improve the wake distribution that flows into the propeller. The warship propeller cavitation is strongly influenced by the wake created at the V-strut of various appendages. The inflow characteristics of the V-strut were investigated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and the twisted angles of the V-strut were aligned with upstream flow. The resistance and self-propulsion tests for the model ship with the existing and modified V-struts were conducted in Towing Tank (TT), and wake distribution, CIS, cavitation observation and pressure fluctuation tests were conducted in Large Cavitation Tunnel (LCT). The propeller behind the modified V-strut showed better cavitation characteristics than that behind the existing V-strut. Another model test was conducted to investigate rudder cavitation performance by the change of the V-strut. The rudder cavitation characteristics were not improved by the change of the operating conditions. On the basis of the present study, it is thought that the stern appendages for better propeller cavitation performance would be developed.

In order to improve the propeller Cavitation Inception Speed (CIS) performance, it needs to modify the propeller geometry and the wake distribution that flows into the propeller. In the previous study, the twisted angles of the V-strut were modified to improve propeller CIS, cavitation behavior and pressure fluctuation performances. Then the propeller behind the modified V-strut (New strut) showed better cavitation characteristics than that behind the existing V-strut (Old strut). However, the CIS of Suction Side Tip Vortex (SSTV) and Pressure Side Tp Vortex (PSTV) showed a big difference at behind each V-strut. In this study, the balance design is conducted to minimize the difference between SSTV CIS and PSTV CIS at behind each V-strut. To improve the propeller CIS performance, 1 propeller is designed at behind the old strut and 3 propellers are designed at behind the new strut. The propeller CIS is increased through the balance design and the stern appendage modification. The final propeller CIS is increased about 5.3 knots higher than that of the existing propeller at behind the old strut. On the basis of the present study, it is thought that the better improvement method for the propeller CIS would be suggested.

A new propeller series is developed using the newly developed blade section (KH 18 section) which has better cavitation characteristics and higher lift-drag ratio at wade angle-of-attack range than a conventional section. The radial patch distribution of the new series propellers is variable stance they were designed adaptively to a typical wake distribution. Basic geometric particulars of the series propellers. such as chord length, thickness, skew and rake distributions, are determined on the basis of recent full scale propeller geometric data. The series is developed for propellers having 4 blades, and blade area ratios of 0.3, 0.45, 0.6 and 0.75. Mean pitch ratios are varied as 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.95 and 1.1 for each blade area ratio. The new propeller series consists of 20 propellers and is named as the KD(KRISO-DAEWOO)-propeller series. Propeller open-water tests are performed at the towing tank, and cavitation observation tests and fluctuating pressure tests are carried out at the cavitation tunnel of KRISO. $B_{p}-\delta$ curves, which can be used to select the optimum propeller diameter at the preliminary design stage, are derived from a regression analysis of the propeller open-water test results. The KD-cavitation chart is derived from the cavitation observation test results by choosing the local maximum lift coefficient and the local cavitation number as parameters. The cavity extent predicted by the KD-cavitation chart would be more accurate compared to that by an existing cavitation charts, such as the Burrll's cavitation chart, since the former is derived from the cavitation observation test results in a typical ship's wake, while the lather is derived from the test results in a uniform flow.

A theoretical study on the pressure fluctuation induced by a propeller was carried out in this study. The main objective of this study is to analyze the source mechanism of the pressure fluctuation induced by propeller sheet cavitation. To analyze the pressure fluctuation induced by propeller sheet cavitation, modern acoustic theory was applied.
