A B-spline based high order panel method was developed for the motion of bodies in an ideal fluid, either of infinite extent or with a free boundarysurface. In this method, both the geometry and the potential are represented by the B-spline, which guarantees more accurate results than most potential based low order methods. In the present work, we applied this B-spline based high order method to the radiation problem of floating bodies. The boundary condition on the free surface was satisfied by adopting a Kelvin-type Green function and irregular frequencies were removed by placing additional control points on the free surface surrounding the body. The numerical results were validated by comparison with existing numerical and experimental results.

In ocean industry, free surface type ART (Anti Roll tank) system has been widely used to suppress the roll motion of floating structures. In those, various obstacles have been devised to obtain the sufficient damping and to enhance the controllability of freely rushing water inside the tank. Most of previous researches have paid on the development of simple mathematical formula for coupled ship-ARTs analysis although other numerical and experimental approaches exist. Little attention has been focused on the use of 3D panel method for preliminary design of free surface type ART despite its advantages in computational time and general capacity for hydrodynamic damping estimation. This study aims at developing a potential theory based hydrodynamic code for the analysis of floating structure with baffled ARTs. The sloshing in baffled tanks is modeled through the linear potential theory with FE discretization and it coupled with hydrodynamic equations of floating structures discretized by BEM and FEM, resulting in direct coupled FE-BE formulation. The general capacity of proposed formulation is emphasized through the coupled hydrodynamic analysis of floating structure and sloshing inside baffled ARTs. In addition, the numerical methods for natural sloshing frequency tuning and estimation of hydrodynamic damping ratio of liquid sloshing in baffled tanks undergoing wave exiting loads are developed through the proposed formulation. In numerical examples, effects of natural frequency tuning and baffle ratios on the maximum and significant roll motions are investigated.

For an accurate shock response analysis of a floating structure such as a naval surface ship subjected to an UNDEX(UNDerwater Explosion), the cavitation effects due to reflected wave at free surface and wetted structural surface should be considered. In this study, for the consideration of cavitation effects an effective method using LS-DYNA/USA and its theoretical background were presented. Through the application of the analysis of bulk cavitation phenomena in the free field, it could be confirmed that almost the same results were obtained between LS-DYNA/USA code and the analytical method. for the investigation of cavitation effects from the structural shock response characteristics, three dimensional UNDEX shock response analysis of an idealized ship model was also carried out It could be found that the cavitation Phenomena gave significant effects on the structural shock response characteristics, and especially that the shock loadings calculated at the installed location of shipboard equipment were underestimated in the case of no consideration of the cavitation effects, which might cause the severe mistake in its shock-resistance design.

The floating ring seal which is used in the high pressure turbo pump is frequently used in the oxidizer pump and the fuel pump of the turbo pump of the liquid propulsion rocket, because it is able to minimize clearance to decrease the leakage flow rate. But, the floating ring seal has a tendency to increase instability in decreasing eccentricity ratio. To complement this weakness, it is devised bump floating ring seal which is inserted bump in the outer surface. It has various experiment results. But the theoretical study of the bump floating ring seal didn't investigated yet. In this paper, we analyse about static characteristics of bump floating ring seal, compared previous experimental results. To analyze the characteristic of bump floating ring seal, we coupled perturbation method of floating ring seal and FEM of bump foil.

The abundant nutrients contained in deep seawater are delivered by natural upwellings from the deep sea to the surface sea. However, the natural upwelling phenomenon is limited to specific areas of the sea; in other areas, the thermocline separates the surface sea from the lower layer. Thus, the surface layer is often deficient in nutritive salts, causing the deterioration of its primary productivity and ultimately leading to an imbalance in the marine ecosystem. Without a consistent supply of nitrogenous nutritive salts, they are absorbed by phytoplankton, resulting in a considerable problem in primary productivity. To solve this issue, a floating type of artificial upwelling system is suggested to artificially pump up, distribute, and diffuse deep seawater containing rich nutritive salts. The key technologies for developing such a floating artificial upwelling system are a floating offshore structure with a large diameter riser, self-supplying energy system, density current generating system, method for estimating the emission and absorption of CO2, and way to evaluate the primary production variation. Strengthening the primary production of the sea by supplying deep seawater to the sea surface will result in a sea environment with abundant fishery resources.

The drift force acting on a freely-floating sphere in water of finite depth is studied within the framework of a linear potential theory. A velocity potential describing fluid motion is determined by distribution pulsating sources and dipoles on the immersed surface of the sphere. Upon knowing values of the potential, hydrodynamic forces are evaluated by integrating pressures over the immersed surface of the sphere. The motion response of the sphere in water of finite depth is obtained by solving the equation of motion. From these results, the drift force on the sphere is evaluated by the momentum theorem, in which a far-field velocity potential is utilized in forms of Kochin function. The drift force coefficient Cdr of a fixed sphere increases monotononically with non-dimensional wave frequency ${\sigma}a$. On the other hand, in freely-floating case, the Cdr has a peak value at ${\sigma}a$ of heave resonance. The magnitude of the drift force coefficient Cdr in the case of finite depth is different form that for deep water, but the general tendency seems to be similar in both cases. It is to note that Cdr is greater than 1.0 when non-dimensional water depth d/a is 1.5 in the case of freely-floating sphere.

지락사고 시 지락전류에 의한 전위경도 상승으로부터 인체를 보호하기 위하여 발전소의 주 접지망을 구성한다. 이를 위한 접지설계시 일반적으로 IEEE Std-80-2000(한전설계기준 2602)에 의하여 계산한다. 그러나 이는 수상환경에서 적용하기 힘들어 수상태양광의 접지저항 확보를 위한 접지기술이 명확하지 않다. 그런데 500kW 수상태양광의 모듈표면 및 금속덕트에 정전기가 발생하고 있고, 안정적인 접지확보를 위해서는 수상환경의 접지방식에 대한 구체적인 방안이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 수상환경에서 Wenner 4 전극법으로 대지저항률을 조사.분석하였으며, 현재 운영중인 수상태양광의 접지저항을 국제규격(IEEE std-81)에서 제시하는 전압강하법으로 측정 분석하여 안정적인 접지확보를 위한 수상태양광 접지방안을 제시하였다. 수면 1m 수중의 저항률이 ($126.3969[{\Omega}{\cdot}m]$) 하상의 저항률($97.5713[{\Omega}{\cdot}m]$)보다 대체로 높은 것을 측정 분석되었고, 제시한 접지앵커 접지방안은 수상태양광의 더욱 안정된 접지저항 확보를 위해 경제적으로 가장 효과적인 방법으로 판단되며, 향후 수상태양광 발전의 접지방법으로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

Interest in renewable energy is rapidly growing around the world. One of the most popular renewable energy sources is solar power, and photovoltaic (PV) systems are the most representative route for generating solar energy. However, with the growing adoption of solar power systems, the demand for land on which to install these systems has increased, which has caused environmental degradation. Recently, floating PV systems have been designed to utilize idle water surface areas of dams, rivers, and oceans. Because floating PV systems will be exposed to harsh environmental stresses, the safety of such systems should be secured before installation. In this study, the structural robustness of a floating PV system was analyzed by conducting numerical simulation to investigate whether the system can withstand harsh environmental stresses, such as wind and wave loads. Additionally, conventional wind and wave load predictions based on the design method and the simulation results were compared. The comparison revealed that the design method overestimated wind and wave loads. The total drag of the PV system was significantly overestimated by the conventional design criteria, which would increase the cost of the mooring system. The simulation offers additional advantages in terms of identifying the robustness of the floating PV system because it considers real-world environmental factors.

The geometry of engineering systems affects their performances. For this reason, the shape of engineering systems needs to be optimized in the initial design stage. However, engineering system design problems consist of multi-objective optimization and the performance analysis using commercial code or numerical analysis is generally time-consuming. To solve these problems, many engineers perform the optimization using the approximation model (response surface). The Response Surface Method (RSM) is generally used to predict the system performance in engineering research field, but RSM presents some prediction errors for highly nonlinear systems. The major objective of this research is to establish an optimal design method for multi-objective problems and confirm its applicability. The proposed process is composed of three parts: definition of geometry, generation of response surface, and optimization process. To reduce the time for performance analysis and minimize the prediction errors, the approximation model is generated using the Backpropagation Artificial Neural Network (BPANN) which is considered as Neuro-Response Surface Method (NRSM). The optimization is done for the generated response surface by non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II). Through case studies of marine system and ship structure (substructure of floating offshore wind turbine considering hydrodynamics performances and bulk carrier bottom stiffened panels considering structure performance), we have confirmed the applicability of the proposed method for multi-objective side constraint optimization problems.
