The purpose of this study is to develop a tool for the analysis of the cavitating flow around trans-cavitating marine propellers. In this study, a linearized super-cavitation theory was applied in order to analyze the performance of the 2-dimensional foils. The numerical results correlated very well with experimental data. The trans-cavitating propellers, manufactured and tasted in KRISO, is selected to validate the lifting surface procedure. For a TCP with a Johnson's five term section, the comparison between the numerical prediction and experiments is fairly good and promising. The new lifting surface procedure, developed and validated with 2-D foils and a TCP, is generally considered applicable to the practical design of the trans-cavitating propeller with Johnson's five term section

Recently a Wide Chord Tip (WCT) propeller has been developed and applied to a commercial ship by STX Offshore & Shipbuilding. It is reported that the WCT propeller significantly reduces pressure fluctuations and also ship's noise and vibration. On the sea trial, vibration magnitude in the accommodations at NCR was measured at 0.9mm/sec which is only 10% of international allowable magnitude of vibration (9mm/sec). In this paper, a design method for increasing performance of the marine propellers including the WCT propeller is suggested. It is described to maximize the performance of the propeller by adjusting expanded areas of the propeller blade. Results show that efficiency can be increased up to over 2% through the suggested design method.

5-axis NC machining of sculptured surface using non-ballendmill cutters (eg. facemilling cutters) is widely used in the machining of turbine blades and marine propellers. Since there are more degrees of freedom in 5-axis machining than in 3-axis machining, generating "optimum" cutter paths and finding desirable cutter positions become very important in order for an efficient use of 5-axis NC machines. Also critical in 5-axis NC machining are collision avoidance, gouging checking, and efficient kinematic solutions. In this paper we discuss the above issues in generating 5-axis CL data. They are : kinematics modeling of NC machine; inverse kinematics solution; interference between machine component and surface; cutter gouging. A unique search method for obtaining optimal CL data is proposed. The proposed method has been successfully implemented in the machining of marine propellers on a dual 5-axis (ie, 9-axis) NC machine.C machine.

In this paper, one of the harbour manoeuvring tests is described. its goal is to investigate the so-called crabbing performance of ships. By crabbing is meant the ability of the vessel to move sideways with the use of her own manoeuvring devices like propellers, rudders, transverse thruster, etc. The crabbing model tests were carried out in the Ocean Engineering Wide Tank, University of Ulsan(UOU) to measure the transverse forces and yawing moments by the transverse thruster alone and the propeller-rudder arrangement in combination with the bow thruster. The comparison between UOU crabbing test results and data measured at one of foreign research institutes showed a little gap due to different rotating conditions of controllable pitch propellers.

For improving the efficiency of near space propellers working over 20km, performances of their streamwise sections, i.e. low-Reynolds-number airfoils which work at $10^4-10^5$ Reynolds numbers, are significant. Based on the low-Reynolds-number CFD technology, this paper designs a novel low-Reynolds-number airfoil. Unsteady characteristics of the laminar separation bubble on novel airfoil and a typical conventional airfoil are studied numerically, and the Reynolds number effect is investigated. Results show that at $10^4-10^5$ Reynolds numbers, unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of the novel airfoil are severely weakened and its lift-to-drag ratio can increase about 100%.

Flexible composite propellers have a relatively large deformation under heavy loading conditions. Thus, it is necessary to accurately predict the deformation of the blade through a fluid-structure interaction analysis. In this work, we present an LST-FEM method to predict the deformation of a flexible composite propeller. Here, we adopt an FEM solver called OOFEM to carry out a structural analysis with an orthotropic linear elastic composite material. In addition, we examine the influence of the lamination direction on the deformation of the flexible composite propeller.

With the sharp increase of the oil price, the issue of the energy saving requires even higher propulsive efficiency of the propellers. Traditionally the propellers have been designed with the criteria such as that of Lerbs optimum based on the lifting line theory and the empirical formulae of Lerbs and van Manen giving relations of the wake pitch with the wake non-uniformity. With the aid of the high speed computer, it is now possible to apply the time-consuming iterative approaches for the solution of the lifting surface problems. In this paper we formulate the variational problem to optimize the efficiency of the propeller operating in the given ship wake using the lifting surface method. The variational formulation relating the spanwise circulation distribution with the propulsive efficiency to be maximized is however non-linear in circulation distribution functions, thus the iterative method is applied to the quasi-linearized equations. The blade shape design also requires the iterative procedures, because the shape of the blade which is represented by the lifting surface is unknown a priori. The numerical code was validated with the DTNSRDC propeller 4119 which is well-known to be optimum in uniform inflow condition. In addition existing (well-designed) commercial propellers were selected and compared with the results of the open water tests and the self-propulsion tests.

본 연구에서는 동축반전 프로펠러 설계 파라미터 중 프로펠러 상하 간격이 동축반전 프로펠러 유동에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 ANSYS Fluent 19.0 Solver를 이용하여 26 inch 단일, 동축반전 프로펠러에 대해 수치적 해석을 수행하였다. 단일 프로펠러에 대해 Moving Reference Frame (MRF) 기법을 이용하였으며 동축반전 프로펠러에 대해 방위각에 따라 변하는 유동을 분석하기 위해 Sliding Mesh 기법을 사용하였다. 위, 아래 프로펠러가 서로 반대방향으로 회전하면서 서로 가까워지는 구간에서 추력과 동력이 감소하였다. 프로펠러 상하 간격이 증가하면서 위, 아래 프로펠러의 상호 간섭이 감소하는 것을 관찰하였다. 동축반전 프로펠러 주위 유동장 변수 등고선을 확인한 결과, 프로펠러가 가까워지는 구간에서 발생하는 공력 성능의 변화는 Loading 효과와 동시에 날개 끝 와류후류의 영향으로부터 기인한다.

Flexible composite propellers are subject to large deformation under heavy loading, and hence the hydrodynamic performance of deformed propeller might deviate from that of the metallic propeller under negligible deformation. To design the flexible propeller, it is therefore necessary to be able to evaluate the structural response of the blades to the hydrodynamic loadings, and then the influence of the blade deformation upon the hydrodynamic loadings. We use the lifting-surface-theory-based propeller analysis and design codes in solving the hydrodynamic problem, and the finite-element-method program formulated with 20-node iso-parametric solid elements for the analysis of the structural response. The two different hydrodynamic and structural programs are arranged to communicate through the carefully-designed interface scheme which leads to the derivation of the geometric parameters such as the pitch, the rake and the skew distributions common to both programs. The design of flexible propellers, suitable for manufacturing, is shown to perform the required thrust performance when deformed in operation. Sample design shows the fast iteration scheme and the robustness of the design procedure of the flexible propellers.

20kg 미만의 중소형 멀티콥터의 초기 사이징 과정에서 적용 가능한 기체 구조 중량 예측에 관한 연구를 소개한다. 임무장비를 제외하고 멀티콥터는 기체 구조, 모터, 프로펠러, 배터리 등으로 구성되는데, 모터, 프로펠러, 배터리 등의 중량은 설계변수에 따른 추세선을 통해 추정이 가능하다. 하지만 기체 구조 중량은 멀티콥터의 형상과 설계 개념이 다양하고, 대부분의 상용 제품들이 기체 구조 중량 데이터를 제공하지 않기 때문에 추세선을 통해 예측할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 기본적인 멀티콥터 형상을 정의하고 멀티콥터 사이징 초기 단계에서 결정되는 프로펠러 개수와 직경을 통해 멀티콥터 기체 구조 중량을 추정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법은 구조 중량이 제시된 멀티콥터 제품들을 통해 검증하여 그 유용성을 확인하였다.
