During the conceptual design of turboprop aircraft, the power effect driven from rotating propeller is typically obtained from empirical data. In the present paper, propeller power effect was obtained by using unsteady three-dimensional Navier-Stokes solver with $k-{\omega}$ turbulence model for the accurate prediction of turboprop aircraft performance. In order to simulate the relative motion between propeller and fuselage, unsteady sliding mesh method was used. During simulation, three flow conditions such as climb, cruise and descending flight were selected considering the flight envelop of the real turboprop aircraft. For the correction of aerodynamic coefficients, the thrust effect of engine exhaust gas was included based on the engine manufacturer's data. Using the computational results, the correction table for the aerodynamic coefficient of turboprop aircraft was suggested for the performance analysis of turboprop aircraft.

A ship's screw-propeller produces thrust by rotation and, at the same time, generates rotational flow behind the propeller. This rotational flow has no contribution to the generation of thrust, but instead produces energy loss. By recovering part of the lost energy in the rotational flow, therefore, it is possible to improve the propulsion efficiency. The contra-rotating propeller (CRP) system is the representing example of such devices. Unfortunately, however, neither a design method nor a full-scale performance prediction procedure for the CRP system has been well established yet. The authors have long performed studies on the CRP system, and some of the results from the authors' studies shall be presented and discussed.

In this study, we conducted resistance and propulsion performance test of ship composed of the Resistance Test, Propeller Open Water Test and Self Propulsion Test using the CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics). We used commercial RANS(Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes equation) solver, as a calculating tool. The unstructured grids were used in a bow and stern of ship, having complex shape, for a convenience of generating grids, and the structured grids were adopted in a central hull and rest of hull having a relatively simple shape which is called hybrid grid method. In addition, The sliding mesh method was adopted to rotate a propeller directly in the Propeller Open Water and Self Propulsion Test. The Resistance Test and Self Propulsion Test were calculated using Volume of Fluid (VOF) model and considering a free surface. And all The three cases were applied realizable k-epsilon model as the turbulence model. The results of calculations were verified for the suitability of calculations by comparing MOERI's EFD results.

This paper presents a study of the effects of the free surface to marine propeller including the mesh effect of the models. In the present study, we conduct the numerical simulation for propeller performance employing the openwater test. The numerical simulations compare the meshing strategies for the propeller and show the effects on both thrust and torque. OpenFOAM is applied to solve the propeller problem and then open water performances of KCS propeller (KP505) are estimated using a Reynold-averaged Navier-Stokes equations (RANS) solver and the turbulence of the $K-{\omega}$ SST model. Unstructured meshes are used in the numerical simulation employing hexahedral meshing for mesh generation. The arbitrary mesh interfacing (AMI) and multiple rotating frame (MRF) are compared to define the best meshing strategy. The meshing strategies are evaluated through 3 classifications, i.e., coarse, medium, and fine mesh. Thus, the propeller can be performed utilizing the best mesh strategy. The computational results are validated by comparison with the experimental results. The $K_T$, $K_Q$, and efficiency of the propeller are compared to an experimental result and for all of the meshing strategies. Thus, the simulations show the influence of meshing in order to perform the propeller performances.

비 압축성 점성 유동에 대한 RANS 방정식의 수치 해법을 사용해서 4상한(four quadrant) 조건에서 작동하는 박용 프로펠러 주위의 난류 유동과 프로펠러 단독 성능을 계산하였다. 4상한 조건의 단독 성능에 대한 실험결과가 존재하는 모형 프로펠러 P4381에 대하여 계산된 유동은 다양한 조건에서 프로펠러에 발생하는 3차원 유동박리를 포함한 복잡한 점성유동 특성을 잘 보여주었으며, 계산된 프로펠러 추력과 토크는 실험에서 캐비테이션이 심하게 발생된 일부 경우를 제외하고는 실험 결과와 잘 일치하였다.

This paper presents a new estimation method of full scale propulsive performance for the pulling type podded propeller. In order to estimate the drag of pod housing, a drag velocity ratio, which includes the effects of podded propeller loading and Reynolds number, is presented and evaluated through the comparison of model test and numerical analysis. By separating the thrust of propeller blade and the drag of pod housing, extrapolation method of pod housing drag to full scale is deduced, and correction method of propeller blade thrust and torque to full scale is presented. This study utilized the drag coefficient ratio of the pod housing as a measure for expanding it to full scale, but in order to increase the accuracy of performance evaluation, additional study is necessary on the method for the full scale expansion via separating the drag of pod body, strut and fin which consist the pod housing.

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 application of multicopters using a battery is limited by the short endurance due to the low energy density. A propeller is one of crucial components that determine the performance of the multicopter. In the present study, a systematic method for predicting the endurance of multicopters is described. Propeller performance database are constructed using the data from UIUC Propeller Data Site. Using the 'trendline' function of MS Excel software, the performance of the commercial propellers are represented as a function of polynomials. The multicopter's endurance is computed iteratively using Peukert's Law and considering the voltage drop effect. We evaluated the endurance of multicopters that use commercial propellers. The endurance of the multicopter was within the range of 28 min. to 36 min. It is expected that the present method can be utilized for optimal propeller selection for the given multicopters.

선박의 시운전 수행 이전에 엔진 및 프로펠러의 작동상태를 체크하기 위하여 때때로 안벽계류 중에서 주기 및 발전기의 성능시험을 수행하는 데, 이때 주기관을 100% 작동시키는 것은 계류용 로프 및 안벽 비트의 강도 문제등의 여러가지 위험 부담을 갖게 된다. 본 연구는 이러한 시험에 대한 안전성 검토를 위해 필요한 프로펠러의 추력의 추정을 목적으로 하고 있다. 대상선은 최근에 건조한 대형 컨테이너선이며, 실선시험은 안벽계류 상태에서 수행되었기 때문에 프로펠러는 수면위로 노출되어 있는 상태에서 작동되었다. 이러한 낮은 프로펠러 축 몰수 수심에서 작동하는 안벽계류 상태에서의 프로펠러의 특성을 조사하기 위해 모형시험을 수행하였으며, 이들 시험결과로부터 안벽계류 시험중의 프로펠러의 추력에 관한 약산식이 도출되었다. 그 결과 프로펠러의 특성은 축 수심에 따라 크게 달라지는 것을 알 수 있으며, 특히 축 수심이 작아 프로펠러가 수면위에 노출되어 있는 경우에는, 같은 축 수성에서도 프로펠러 회전수에 지배되는 특성이 파악되었다. 한편 심수 중에서 작동하는 프로펠러에 대해서도 추력에 대한 추정식을 도출하여 실선 시험 담당자가 사용하기 쉽게 하였으며, bollard pull에서의 FPSO(Floating Production Storage and Offloading tanker based system) 의 프로펠러의 추력 계측값과 비교 검토 하였다.
