The present paper purposes a numerical evaluation of the Thai Long-Tail Boat propeller (TLTBP) performance by without and with propeller boss cap fins (PBCF) in full-scale operating straight shaft condition in the first. Next, those are applied to inclined shaft conditions. The actual TLTBP has defined an inclined shaft propeller including the high rotational speed, therefore vortex from the propeller boss and boss cap (hub vortex) have been generated very much. The PBCF designs are considered to weaken of vortex behind the propeller boss which makes the saving energy for the propulsion systems. The blade sections of PBCF developed from the original TLTBP blade shape. The integrative for the TLTBP and the PBCF is analyzed to increase the performance using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The computational results of propeller performance are thoroughly compared between without and with PBCF. Moreover, the effects of each PBCF component are computed to influence the TLTBP performance. The fluid flows around the propeller blades, propeller boss, boss cap, and vortex have been investigated in terms of pressure distribution and wake-fields to verify the increasing efficiency of propulsion systems.

프로펠러와 프로펠러축이 슬립(Slip)되는 사고가 발생하면 추진력 상실로 인한 안전과 경제적면에서 막대한 문제가 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 대형선박에서 슬립사고(Slip damage) 발생 원인을 사고 선박 승선원 면담, 신조선의 도면검토, 보험사 조사관 사고 보고서 등을 통해 조사하였다. 추가로 프로펠러의 재질에 대한 충격강도를 확인하기 위하여 압축시험을 실시하였다. 본 연구 결과는 키가 없는(Keyless type) 프로펠러의 접촉강도 설계 기준에 적용 할 수 있고, 나아가 프로펠러보스와 축이 슬립하는 사고를 방지하는데 유용한 자료를 제공 할 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, the generation of the propeller hub vortex was analyzed and a PBCF(Propeller Boss Cap Fins) was designed to control the propeller hub vortex. A RANS(Reynolds-averaged Navier-stokes) approach is employed to predict the hub vortex characteristics. The hub profile is an important factor but only a small increase (1.9%) of efficiency was obtained with the hub profile modification. The propeller hub vortex was eliminated by installing the PBCF and as a result, the propeller efficiency was increased by 5.6%.

Flow characteristics of hull wake behind a container ship model were investigated experimentally with varying loading condition and Reynolds number. Large-scale bilge vortices of nearly the same strength are formed in the near-wake region. They are symmetric and counter-rotating with respect to the wake centerline for all loading conditions tested. With going downstream for both design and ballast loading conditions, the strength of the bilge vortices decreases and the wake region expands due to diffusion and viscous dissipation. Under the design loading condition, the bilge vortices start to appear at St=0.363 transverse plane above the propeller-boss. For the ballast loading condition, however, the bilge vortices start to appear at St=0.591 below the propeller-boss. They move upward as the hull wake goes downstream and Reynolds number increases. These wake characteristics, under the ballast loading condition, may weaken the propulsion and cavitation performances of the propeller, which are usually optimized for the design loading condition.

The global price of oil, which is both finite and limited in quantity, has been rising steadily because of the increasing requirements for energy in both developing and developed countries. Furthermore, regulations have been strengthened across all industries to address global warming. Many studies of hull resistance, propulsion and operation of ships have been performed to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. This study examined the design parameters of the propeller boss cap fin (PBCF) and hub cap for 6,000TEU container ships to improve the propulsion efficiency. The design parameters of PBCF have been selected based on the geometrical shape. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis with a propeller open water (POW) test was performed to check the validity of CFD analysis. The design of experiment (DOE) case was selected as a full factorial design, and the experiment was analyzed by POW and CFD analysis. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to determine the correlation among design parameters. Four design alternatives of PBCF were selected from the DOE. The shape of a propeller hub cap was selected as a divergent shape, and the divergent angle was determined by the DOE. Four design alternatives of PBCF were attached to the divergent hub cap, and the POW was estimated by CFD. As a result, the divergent hub cap with PBCF has a negative effect on the POW, which is induced by an increase in torque coefficient. A POW test and cavitation test were performed with a divergent hub cap with PBCF to verify the CFD result. The POW test result showed that the open water efficiency was increased approximately 2% with a divergent hub cap compared to a normal cap. The POW test result was similar to the CFD result, and the divergent hub cap with the PBCF models showed lower open water efficiency. This was attributed to an increase in the torque coefficient just like the CFD results. A cavitation test was performed using the 2 models selected. The test result showed that the hub vortex is increased downstream of the propeller.

KRISO 300K VLCC 이중모형선 주위의 유동특성을 풍동실험을 통해 연구하였다. 선체 선미 주위유동과 후류유동의 평균속도 성분, 난류강도, 레이놀즈 전단응력 및 난류 운동에너지 분포를 열선풍속계를 이용하여 측정하였다. 실험은 선미와 후류의 횡단면에서 수행하였으며, 선체 표면에서의 유동 패턴을 정성적으로 조사하기 위하여 유막법을 이용한 유동가시화도 수행하였다. 선미와 근접 후류영역은 매우 복잡한 3차원의 유동특성을 가지고 있으며, 특히 종방향 와류영역에서 고리 모양의 후류 구조를 볼 수 있었다. 그리고 중앙평행부에서의 얇은 경계층은 선미 영역을 지나며 점차 두꺼워지고 복잡한 3차원 난류후류로 발전하였다.

Developed m this research is a production information system for marie propellers. The paper deals with surface modeling and tool path generation modules of the system. Since the input point data may have some errors, the data is examined using the 2nd divided difference. The point data is interpolated to a $G^2$ chord-length spline surface with some end-conditions. The effects of the various end-conditions on the interpolated surface are discussed in the paper. The tool paths for blade, fillet, and boss of the propeller are generated. Some illustrative examples from an industry are presented.

최근에 CO2 배출에 대한 환경 규제가 마련되었고, 연료유 가격은 계속해서 상승하고 있다. 이런 상황들을 극복하기 위해 연료소모량을 감소시키고 추진효율을 개선한 에너지 저감 추진장치들이 계속해서 개발되고 있다. 본 논문에는 핸디형 산적화물선에 적용한 PBCF, SCHNEEKLUTH duct, 비대칭 러더 벌브, Mewis duct의 성능 실험을 서술하였다. 그 결과, SCHNEEKLUTH duct가 다른 에너지 저감 장치들에 비해 연료소모량 절감과 추진효율의 향상 측면에서 더 효과적이었다. 또한 SCHNEEKLUTH duct가 거주구 진동에도 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 그리고 연료소모량은 주기관 de-rating을 통해서도 절감할 수 있었다.
