The issues associated with the application of CFD for ship design are addressed. Doubtlessly at the moment, CFD tools are very useful in evaluating hull forms prior to traditional towing tank tests. However, time-consuming pre-processing is an obstacle in the daily application of CFD tools to improve hull forms. The accuracy of computational modeling without sacrificing the usability of CFD system is also to be assessed. The wave generation is still predicted by using potential panel methods, while velocity profiles entering into propeller plane is solved using turbulent flow solvers. The choice of turbulence model is a key to predict nominal wake distribution within acceptable accuracy. The experimental data for CFD validation are invaluable to improve physical and numerical modeling. Other applications of CFD for ship design than hull form improvement are also given. It is certain that CFD can be a cost-effective tool for the design of new and better ships.

3톤급 소형어선의 나선, 빌지킬 및 중앙날개(central wing)가 부착된 상태의 3가지 모델에 대해 평수중에서 속도 변화, 초기각의 변화 및 OG(무게중심과 횡동요 중심간의 거리)의 변화에 따른 횡동요 감쇠시험에 의해 감쇠특성을 비교하였다. 또한 에너지법에 의해 선형 및 비선형속도항에 의존하는 횡동요 감쇠모멘트를 수식화하여 시험값과 비교하였으며 3가지 모델에 대한 에너지 발산 형태도 비교하였다.

The mathematical model used in the simulation of ship's maneuvering contains the hydrodynamic coefficients, which are usually evaluated based on PMM model tests in the towing tank and used to predict ship's maneuvering performance when applied to the proto-type ship. The proper mathematical model has to be developed to predict ship's maneuvering motions with hydrodynamic coefficients very well. The mathematical model for PMM model tests is analyzed with identification program and the hydrodynamic coefficients and maneuvering motions by system identification we compared with those obtained directly from PMM model tests and sea trial. The mathematical model for PMM model tests was established and the magnitudes of ship's maneuvering coefficients were determined. When the identified values of coefficients were used to simulate the maneuvers, a very good agreement was obtained between the numerically simulated motion responses and those obtained from PMM model tests.

The aim of present study is to evaluate the stability of GM(Metacentric Height) calculation and investigate the damping effect of free rolling test. Moreover, GZ(Righting arm in stability) curve shows that it can provide reasonable design conditions for Fish boat. The roll damping characteristics of the improved model for an 7.9 ton class fishing boat are investigated through the free roll test in towing tank. The safety and boarding sensitivity are evaluated by GM calculation and roll motion period. Therefore, the results in this paper describe that the effect for improved hull is more improved than the original hull.

When a High Speed Train (HST) passes through a station with no stop, effects of wind pressure transients caused by this passing train have to be considered for the safety of passengers on the platform and for the possible structural safety problems as well. In Gwangmyeong and Daejeon stations of the Korean high speed railroad, tunnels inside stations for the passing train are proposed to reduce the noise and wind pressure transients to the passengers on the platform. In the present study, transient 3-D full Navier-Stokes solutions with moving mesh to implement train movement are obtained and compared with the results obtained by the towing tank experiment. Investigations on flow phenomena for various train speeds and design modifications are also performed.

This paper proposes particle filter(PF) method using acoustic signal for localization of an underwater robot. The method uses time of arrival(TOA) or time difference of arrival(TDOA) of acoustic signals from beacons whose locations are known. An experiment in towing tank uses TOA information. Simulation uses TDOA information and it reveals dependency of the localization performance on the uncertainty of robot motion and senor data. Also, comparison of the PF method with the least squares method of spherical interpolation(SI) and spherical intersection(SX) is provided. Since PF uses TOA or TDOA which comes from measurement of external information as well as internal motion information, its estimation is more accurate and robust to the sensor and motion uncertainty than the least squares methods.

A series of towing tank tests were carried out for 18 full ship models of high block coefficients. The resistance coefficients and wake distribution at the propeller plane were measured and carefully examined. Regression analysis was employed to find out the relationships with the hull form parameters. Equations for wave resistance coefficient, form factor, and nominal wake are given. A harmonic analysis of measured wake was performed to look into the influence of the local stern shape on the magnitude of fluctuating wake components at three different radii. The amplitude of wake harmonics was also expressed by regression quations. It was found that the regression formulas were very useful in estimating resistance and circumferential wake characteristics of full ship models. It was also considered that the formulas presented in this paper could be utilized in the hull form improvement in a preliminary design.

In this paper, we suggest a design concept of defining the propeller geometry by stacking up the blade sections aligned with propeller surface streamlines. Numerical and experimental propeller open water(P.O.W.) characteristics of a newly designed propeller are presented. The surface streamlines for a propeller are obtained by using the panel method. Redefinition of the blade sections aligned with the streamlines is provided together with 8-spline modeling, by which we manufacture model propellers. We carried out the P.O.W, tests in a towing tank in order to show the effect of the present method on P.O.W. characteristics.

A series of model tests on a container ship in waves was executed at the Experimental Towing Tank of Ship Research Station, KIMM. This paper presents the results of resistance, self-propulsion, propeller open-water and ship motion tests in regular head waves. Firstly, the experimental results of ship motion measured on a towed model and a self-propelled model were compared with those of Japanese results showing fairly good agreements. Secondly, the results of resistance and propulsion tests were analyzed and the data of added resistance, thrust increase, torque increase, revolution increase and self-propulsion factors in waves were presented. Also the diffraction force measured on a fixed model in waves was analyzed. Finally, this report shows the propeller characteristics in calm water based on propeller immersion and in regular waves based on wave length.
