A hull-form for a 32,000G/T class Ro-Pax ferry has developed in accordance with a need of ferry operators to reduce fuel oil consumption(FOC) due to the drastic increase in oil prices recently and strengthening of environmental rules and regulations such as CO2 emission. A twin-skeg type is applied as the hull-form in lieu of an open-shaft type in order to improve propulsion performance. In order to achieve this object, flow control devices are installed to reduce a propeller induced vibration which is a main reason to obstruct the application of twin-skeg type passenger vessels owing to an uncomfortable vibration level. Numerical simulation by using an in-house code and a commercial code (Fluent) has performed to find out an optimum design of the flow control devices and to check an improvement in cavity volume. Model tests in Samsung Ship Model Basin are carried out to evaluate propulsion performance with the developed twin-skeg type hull and a reference hull of open-shaft type. In conclusion, it is shown that the twin-skeg type hull is better than the open-shaft in FOC by around 7% and in cavity volume by 20% as well.

Traditional construction method of the stern tube is difficult to control the process and needs excessive working hours. Recently in order to resolve these issues, stern tube unit has been installed for some commercial vessels. The stern tube unit is a monolithic structure of bush and related components. The purpose of this study is to carry out a feasibility study for application of the stern tube unit for a 174K twin skeg LNG carrier. In this study, a 19,000 TEU container carrier installing the stern tube unit has been selected to compare with the deformations of stern for a 174K twin skeg LNG carrier.

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.

부선은 타 선박에 비해 운항조건 등의 특성상 많은 어려움과 위험에 노출된 채 해상운송 업무를 수행하고 있으며, 예부선 해양사고는 일반 선박보다 40%이상 높게 나타나고 있다. 본 연구는 부선의 안전운항에 필요한 정량적이고 객관적인 정보를 제공하기 위해 실무에서 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 선수 형상을 지닌 부선을 대상으로, skeg와 bridle이 부선의 회두운동에 미치는 영향 조사를 위한 수조실험을 통해 부선의 동적 거동에 의한 예인장력의 변동을 측정하고, skeg가 선수 형상이 다른 부선의 침로안정성에 미치는 영향을 분석 검증하여 예부선의 안전예항 방안을 도출하였다.

Recently, a ship-shaped barge has been developed to improve the resistance performance, as well as course-keeping capability. However, the stern of the barge is still similar to a box shape, and the vortex generated at the side of the barge creates drag and yaw instability. In order to solve this problem, stern skegs are normally used. The present paper deals with the correlation between the size of the stern skegs and the barge dimensions and hull coefficient. A stern skeg was designed to prevent yaw instability and minimize any additional resistance. The resistance test and course keeping test were performed in the towing tank at Pusan National University. To determine the correlation parameters between the designed stern skeg size and barge dimensions, a parametric study was also performed. Based on the experimental data from five barges, the optimum skeg dimensions were successfully derived. It is expected that the validation of the present study will be carried out by further experiments and computational comparisons in the near future.

예부선이 항행할 경우 부선의 회두운동으로 인하여 예선은 조종성능에 제한을 받기 때문에 부선의 회두운동을 감소시켜야 안전한 예항업무를 이행할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 부선의 침로안정성을 향상시키기 위한 방안으로 부선의 회두운동에 영향을 미치는 항목들을 조사하기 위하여 수조실험을 실행하였다. 선수 형상에 따라 회두운동 특성이 다르게 나타나기 때문에 서로 다른 선수 형상을 지닌 부선 모델을 대상으로 스케그의 영향, 예인선속의 영향, 예인삭 길이의 영향, 브라이들의 영향에 대하여 종합적으로 분석하였다. 실험결과 스케그의 설치 위치에 의한 효과는 선수형상에 따라서 다르게 나타나고 있는 모습을 보여주고 있다. 부선의 회두운동은 부선에 연결된 예인삭의 길이가 길수록 부선의 회두가 작아짐을 알 수 있었다. 또한 예인삭만 연결한 상태보다 예인삭에 브라이들을 연결하는 것이 부선의 회두가 작아지며, 브라이들의 길이가 길어질수록 부선의 회두운동이 크게 작아짐을 알 수 있었다.

Various propulsion systems, applicable for a G/T 47,000 class mid-size cruise ship, are discussed and a comparative study on stern forms and hull resistance characteristics is carried out, in relation to these propulsion systems. Based on shipyard production logs on similar cruise ships, a reference hull form of a single shaft propulsion system with center-skeg, is generated. Then two new stern hull forms are derived by using a hull transform technique: consisting of one stern form using a twin-skeg system and the other using the Azipod system. Using a CFD-based commercial flaw analysis program, WAVIS (WAve and VIScous flaw analysis system for hull form development), various hydrodynamic characteristics, including wave profiles and ship hull resistance, are compared for three hull forms.

본 논문에서는 계열 모형시험을 통하여, 길이/폭 비가 작은 컨테이너선의 조종성능에 미치는 선미 부가물, 타 및 선미형상의 효과에 대해서 조사 연구되었다. 타, 선미부가물과 선미형상을 변화시키면서 각 경우에 대하여 타 단독시험과 PMM 시험이 수행되었다. 실험적으로 구한 유체력 미계수와 일본에서 개발된 MMG 수학모형을 사용하여 조종성능 해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 선미형상의 변화와 선미벌브 밑부분에 부가물을 부착시키는 것이 불안정한 선박의 방향안정성을 향상시키는데 있어 가장 효과적이었다.
