A strength problem of propeller blades for large container ships at astern condition has been occasionally reported due to the application of a highly skewed propeller which can reduce the hull surface fluctuation forces. A finite element analysis code for propeller blade was developed and utilized since 1985. Recently, however, further fine mesh modeling for finite element analysis is required to yield higher accuracy in the analysis. The present study shows an application of FE analysis code to the highly skewed propeller for large container ships. Results of FE analysis show that the number of FE mesh affects largely on strength, and also the calculated strength with fine mesh gives good agreements to those of other FEM codes. A method to enlarge strength near the trailing edge was introduced considering the strength criterion on the blade.

For Underwater vehicles, Unwanted roll excursions are inevitable as they are caused by induced propeller torque, disturbances, and banking motion during turns. To estimate the manoeuvring performance of underwater vehicle, it is necessary to obtain the roll coefficient of body. This paper was covered estimation of roll coefficient of underwater vehicle using STAR-CCM+, commercial CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) code. The RANS equations for incompressible fluid flows was solved numerically by using a finite volume method. An MRF(Moving Reference Frame) Method was Also adopted for rotations of body. For the validation, the flow around a DARPA SUBOFF bare hull model was simulated and good agreement with experiments was obtained. And Pure roll coefficients were calculated and campared with the experimental data which were presented by Seoul National University. Finally, an underwater vehicle model with propeller was simulated and analyzed for estimation of roll coefficient variation caused by induced propeller torque.

In this paper, a numerical study is carried out to investigate the turbulent flow around a twin-skeg container ship model with rudders including propeller effects. A commercial CFD code, FLUENT is used with body forces distributed on the propeller disk to simulate the ship stem and wake flows with the propeller in operation. A multi-block, matching, structured grid system has been generated for the container ship hull with twin-skegs in consideration of rudders and body-force propeller disks. The RANS equations for incompressible fluid flows are solved numerically by using a finite volume method. For the turbulence closure, a Reynolds stress model is used in conjunction with a wall function. Computations are carried out for the bare hull as well as the hull with appendages of a twin-skeg container ship model. For the bare hull, the computational results are compared with experimental data and show generally a good agreement. For the hull with appendages, the changes of the stem flow by the rudders and the propellers have been analyzed based on the computed result since there is no experimental data available for comparison. It is found the flow incoming to the rudders has an angle of attack due to the influence of the skegs and thereby the hull surface pressure and the limiting streamlines are changed slightly by the rudders. The axial velocity of the propeller disk is found to be accelerated overall by about 35% due to the propeller operation with the rudders. The area and the magnitude of low pressure on the hull surface enlarge with the flow acceleration caused by the propeller. The propellers are found to have an effect on up to the position where the skeg begins. The propeller slipstream is disturbed strongly by the rudders and the flow is accelerated further and the transverse velocity vectors are weakened due to the flow rectifying effect of the rudder.

New experimental devices and methods to measure shaft forces of ships are proposed in this paper. The strain gauge type six-component load cell was newly designed and installed to the end of the propeller shaft. The signals generated from the sensor in the propeller rotating are transferred to the new data amplifying and processing board on the shaft and the data is transmitted to the self-made wireless receiver. To find out the characteristics of shaft forces during port and starboard turning motions in sea trial, oblique and combined yaw maneuvering tests at straight, transient, maximum yaw rate, steady conditions were performed with the model ship installed the shaft forces measuring device using circular motion tester of Samsung Ship Model Basin. Characteristics of the measured shaft forces in model tests show quantitatively good agreement with the computed values obtained by the CFD programs using the measured wake data in oblique towing conditions. In the near future, It is hoped that the estimated shaft forces for a ship from this experimental method could be validated through comparison with directly measured values of a ship.

Rudder is to be located in extremely complicated flows generated and disturbed behind a hull and a propeller in operation. In order to estimate the rudder efficiency, it is quite important to investigate the disturbed flows due to the interaction under the hull-propeller and rudder condition. The purpose of the present research is to investigate the interaction between the hull-propeller and a high-lifting horn-type rudder through both numerical computations and experiments. A horn-type rudder implementing the Coanda effect of USB (Upper Surface Blowing) type is selected for its high efficiency of lifting force, and a 1/85 scaled model of 47K PC(Product Carrier) is manufactured for the purpose of the model test. The forces acting on the rudder during the experiment are measured using a three-component force gauge. Both cases are investigated in the hull-propeller-rudder condition and rudder open-water condition, which confirms that the flows generated under the former condition is considerably different from that of the latter condition.

Underwater robots are generally used for the construction of seabed structures, deep-sea ecosystem research, ocean energy development, etc. A ducted marine propulsor is widely used for the thruster of an underwater robot because of its collision protection, efficiency increase, cavitation reduction, etc. However, the flow of a ducted propeller is very complex because it involves strong flow interactions between the blade impeller and duct. The present work aimed to design a ducted propeller using 2-D strip theory and CFD analysis. The hydrodynamic forces (i.e. and ) were computed to set the local angle of attack in a spanwise direction of the propeller blade. After the propeller design, performance coefficients such as the thrust, torque, and efficiency were computed to check whether the designed performance was achieved. To validate the present analysis, the thrust was compared with experimental data and good agreement was obtained.

The axial and torsional coupled vibration of marine propeller shafts can be mainly caused by actual shape of the crank shaft and hydrodynamic forces and moments due to propellers : the former leads to stiffness matrix coupling and the latter leads to inertia and damping matrix coupling. In the present paper the characteristics of the coupled vibration of marine propeller shafts due to hydrodynamic coupling is investigated in details. First, the modelling procedure of the system and analysis technique are also developed. To verify the present method the numerical calculations were also performed. Finally, the results were compared with existing data in the literature and it was found to be in good agreement.

DUP (direct underside pressurization)-장치와 프로펠러가 있는 3 차원 형상의 위그선(WIG-craft) 주위의 유동특성을 수치적으로 해석하였다. 이를 통하여 위그선 주위의 공기역학 관점의 힘들과 모멘트에 대해 고찰하였다. 이 연구의 해석에 사용된 모델은 프로펠러, 동체, 날개와 동체아래의 압력실 (air chamber)을 포함한 전 영역에 대하여 수행하였다. DUP 장치는 추력의 일부를 동체 아래의 압력실에 정체시킴으로 이륙 시와 같이 낮은 속도에도 효과적으로 양력을 증가시켜 이륙 속도를 줄이는 장치이다. 이러한 DUP 장치는 동압의 증가로 인하여 항력이 증가하고 공기의 회전성분으로 인하여 추가적인 모멘트를 생성하게 된다. 위그선의 비대칭 유동에 의해 발생하는 요잉 및 롤링 모멘트가 위그선의 안정성에 미치는 영향은 매우 미미하였다.
