Amphibious assault vehicles have been used in the Marine Corps. In recent years, their ability to move faster is becoming one of the most important considerations. At high speeds, the vehicle tends to sink at the stern and sometimes the opposite occurs. Such dynamic trim plays a significant role in determining the vehicle's hydrodynamic performance. Furthermore, an excessive trim by stern upsets the viewing angle. We have thus considered a stern hydrofoil to reduce the dynamic trim of the amphibious assault vehicle. Laboratory-scale resistance tests were conducted in a towing tank at the Seoul National University (SNU). This study aims to make a preliminary assessment of the hydrodynamic performance of the vehicle with the stern hydrofoil and to investigate permissible speed range of the vehicle. The experimental results show that the stern hydrofoil can successfully achieve a reduction of both the dynamic trim and the hydrodynamic resistance at running speeds above 20 km/h.

The roll motion of a general vessel, which is more influenced by resonance as compared to other motions, adversely affects the passenger and hull. Therefore, reducing the roll motion through an anti-rolling system is critical, and most ships use various devices such as anti-rolling tanks, bilge keels, and fin stabilizers to accomplish this. In this study, a simplified model is developed for the application of an anti-rolling device for unmanned semi-submersible vessels. The applied anti-rolling device is installed on the stern and stem of a ship using a pair of servo motors with added weight, and the motor is controlled through the Arduino. The moment of the motor is designed and implemented based on a mathematical model such that it is calculated through the restoring force according to the heel angle of the ship. The performance of the proposed system was verified by utilizing the roll damping coefficient calculated by the free-roll decay test and logarithmic decrement method and was validated by a towing tank test. The system is expected to be used for unmanned vessels to perform sustainable missions.

선박의 선형시험설비로는 회류수조, 예인수조 등이 있으나, 소형 고속선박은 실선 대응 모형선의 축적비가 대형선에 비해 매우 작고 수조의 유속과 예인전차의 속도제한으로 고속선의 설계선속까지의 성능검증에는 한계로 작용하였다. 이에, 고속 활주형선의 선형시험 검증을 위해 실 해상모형시험기법을 정립하였다. 한편, 고속 Stepped Hull선형은 일체형 활주형 선저선형에 비하여 고속 주행시 공기공급에 따른 접수면 감소로 인하여 저항감소에 따른 속도향상과 연비절감 효과가 있으나, 선미 좌우측의 접수면 감소에 따른 횡동요 안정성이 감소되는 경향이 있다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 고속 선형시험이 가능한 해상모형시험을 이용하여 선미 보조동체 장착 유무에 따른 고속 Stepped Hull 선형의 횡동요 및 저항특성을 비교, 분석한 것이다.

The displacement Deep-V catamaran concept was developed in Newcastle University(UNEW) through development of the systematic Deep-V catamaran series. One of the most important Deep-V catamaran launched to date is Newcastle University's own multi-purpose research vessel, The Princess Royal. The vessel was launched in 2011 and enhanced the Deep-V catamaran concept further with the successful adoption of a novel anti-slamming bulbous bow and tunnel stern for improved efficiency. It was however identified that the vessel has substantial amount of dynamic trim that limited the visibility of the captain. The dynamic trim also increased the wave-making resistance thereby preventing the vessel from attaining its maximum speed in certain sea states. This paper therefore presents the application of devices such as Trim Tabs, Interceptors, Transom Wedges and Integrated Transom Wedges-Tabs to control the dynamic trim and improvement of fuel efficiency of the vessel. All of these energy saving devices were fitted into a model for tests in Newcastle University's Towing Tank. Model test verification confirmed that the optimum appendage was the interceptors, they produced a 5% power saving and 1.2 degree trim reduction at 15 knots, and investigations of full scale trials will be scheduled with and without application of device to compare the improvement of performance.

30만톤 초대형 유조선을 대상으로 하여 전류고정날개 추진시스템을 개발하기 위한 일련의 과정을 서술하였다. 전류고정날개 추진시스템은 프로펠러 후류 유동에서의 회전 운동에너지의 손실을 회수하여 추진 효율향상을 도모하기 위한 복합추진 장치이다. 에너지 절약형 복합추진 장치중 전류고정날개 추진시스템은 명확한 유체역학적 원리에 의하여 작동될뿐 아니라 기계적 구조가 간단하여 초기 설치비가 저렴하고 신뢰성이 높은 추진 장치이다. 선체와 기존 프로펠러를 고려하여 5개의 고정날개를 설계하였으며, 모형시험에 의하여 성능을 검증하였다. 공동수조의 모형시험 결과 전류고정날개 추진시스템의 단독 추진효율이 단독 프로펠러에 비하여 $4{\sim}6%$ 증가됨을 확인하였다. 또한 예인수조에서의 자항추진 시험결과 설계속도(15.5 Knots)에서 전달마력이 최대 6.5% 감소되었다. 일련의 설계 및 모형시험에 의한 검증 과정을 통하여 전류고정날개는 선체후류에 맞추어 설계되어야 큰 마력 절감효과를 낼 수 있음을 밝혔다.

Through a series of bollard pull tests of a propeller in partially submerged condition, thrust, torque, and shaft excitation force of a conventional propeller model were measured using a six-component load cell. By variation of the Weber number and Reynolds number, a consistent towing tank model test condition was derived. The effects of propeller immersion depth on the ventilation behavior and change of force and moment acting onto the propeller shaft were investigated. The decrease in thrust owing to the inception of ventilation was confirmed, and a large degree of dispersion of the thrust and torque coefficients were also observed in the transition region where the blade tip was under the water surface. The shaft excitation force was derived from the force and moment onto the propeller shaft.

In order to investigate Propeller Open Water (POW) characteristics for the high-speed propeller in Large Cavitation Tunnel (LCT), the high-capacity inclined-shaft dynamometer was designed and manufactured. Its measuring capacities of thrust and torque are ${\pm}2200N$ and ${\pm}120N-m$, respectively. The driving motor is directly connected to the propeller shaft. Inclined angle of the propeller shaft can be adjusted up to ${\pm}10^{\circ}$. As the pressure inside LCT can be adjusted in the range of 0.1~3.0bar, we can carry out the POW test at high Reynolds number (above $1.0{\times}10^6$) without propeller cavitation and the cavitation test in uniform flow. After the new dynamometer setup in LCT, the Reynolds number variation test and propeller open-water test were conducted at the inclined angle of $0^{\circ}$ and $6^{\circ}$. The present POW results of the new dynamometer are compared with those of the existing high-capacity dynamometer in LCT and of the dynamometer in the towing-tank. Through systematic model tests and comparison with their results, the performance of the new inclined-shaft dynamometer was verified. It is thought the POW test for the high-speed propeller should be better conducted at high Reynolds number.

In order to study the self-propulsion test and analysis techniques for the submerged body in Large Cavitation Tunnel (LCT). DARPA Suboff, a submarine model publicly available was manufactured. The resistance results of DARPA Suboff was acquired from the LCT tests and compared with those of DTRC. After the wall blockage correction, the resistance results of LCT were in good agreement with those of DTRC. On the basis of the resistance results of LCT, the self-propulsion tests were conducted in LCT. The test objective was to get the full-scale propeller operating conditions for the propeller cavitation and noise tests. The test results of DARPA Suboff were analyzed in a way similar to the analysis techniques of those of the Towing Tank (TT). Another submerged body, for which self-propulsion tests were conducted in TT, was selected for results verification. The results of LCT were in good agreement with those of TT. On the basis of the present study, it is thought that the operating conditions for the full-scale submerged body can be drawn through LCT tests.

The present study aims to improve the accuracy of the maneuvering simulations based on captive model test results. To derive the hydrodynamic coefficients in a self-propelled condition, a mathematical maneuvering model using a whole vehicle model was established. Captive model tests were carried out using the Vertical Planar Motion Mechanism (VPMM) equipment. A motor controller was used to control the constant propeller revolution rate during pure motion tests. The resistance tests, self-propulsion tests, static drift tests, and VPMM tests were performed in the towing tank of Seoul National University. When the vertical drift angle changes, the gravity load on the sensors were changed. The hydrodynamic forces were deduced by subtracting the gravity load from the measured forces. The hydrodynamic coefficients were calculated using the least-square method. The simulation of the turning circle test was compared with the free-running model test result, and the error of the turning radius was 8.3 % compared to the free-running model test.

In order to study the open-water test and analysis techniques for pumpjet propulsors in the Large Cavitation Tunnel (LCT), at the Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering, a set of test equipment was designed and manufactured. The pumpjet propulsor is composed of rotor, stator and duct resulting in the strong interaction between the components. A ring-shaped sensor was developed to measure the thrust and torque for duct and stator. The test equipment including the pumpjet is installed on an existing POW dynamometer in the reverse direction. The results from the reverse POW test setup were validated against those from the conventional POW test setup in the Towing Tank (TT) as well as in the LCT. The pumpjet open-water test was conducted at the Reynolds number of around 1.0×106, at which the obtained experimental data became stable in the Reynolds number effect test. The open-water test for the rotor (rotor-only) was conducted to study whether the duct and stator should be considered as a part of the hull or the propulsor. On the basis of the test results, it was shown that the duct and stator could be included in the propulsor. The total thrust, combined thrust of rotor, duct, and stator was used for the pumpjet open-water test analysis. As the whole pumpjet is defined as a propulsor, it is thought that the self-propulsion test and analysis could be conducted in the same way as that of the conventional propeller.
