The KVLCC2 and its modified hull form were investigated in regular head waves using Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) methods. The modified KVLCC2 (named KWP-bow KVLCC2) is designed for reducing wave reflection from the bow. Firstly, the original KVLCC2 is studied for verification of the present code and methodology and the computed time history of total resistance and 2DOF motions (heave and pitch) for the selected two wave length conditions are directly compared with the results obtained from KRISO towing tank experiment under the identical condition. The predicted added resistance, heave and pitch motion RAOs show relatively good agreement with the experimental results. Secondly, the comparison of performance in waves between KVLCC2 and KWP-bow KVLCC2 is carried out. We confirmed that newly designed hull form shows better performances in all the range of wave length conditions through both the computation and the experiment. The present URANS method can capture the difference of performance in waves of the two hull forms without any special treatment for short wave length conditions. It can be identified that KWP-bow KVLCC2 gives about 8% of energy saving in sea state 5 condition.

This paper considers experimental and numerical studies on added resistance in waves. As the numerical methods, three different methods, strip method, Rankine panel method and Cartesian-grid method, are applied. The computational results of vertical motion response and added resistance are compared with the experimental data of Series 60($C_B=0.8$) hull, S175 containership and KVLCC2 hull. To investigate the influence of above-still water hull form, a Rankine panel method is extended to two nonlinear methods: weakly-nonlinear and weak-scatterer approaches. As nonlinear computational models, three ships are considered: original KVLCC2 hull, 'Ax-bow' and 'Leadge-bow' hulls. Two of the three models are modified hull forms of original KVLCC2 hull, aiming the reduction of added resistance. The nonlinear computational results are compared with linear results, and the improvement of computational result is discussed. As experimental approach, a series of towing-tank experiment for ship motions and added resistance on the three models (original KVLCC2 hull, 'Ax-bow' and 'Leadge-bow') are carried out. For the original KVLCC2 hull, uncertainty analysis in the measurement of vertical motion response and added resistance is performed in three waves conditions: ${\lambda}/L=0.5$, 1.1, 2.0. From the experimental results, the effects of hull form on added resistance are discussed.

Various approaches have been tried in an effort to improve the power performance of a flapping tidal stream turbine after it was introduced as an alternative to conventional rotary turbines. Among the different approaches, researches on mimicking the morphology and behavior of animals have been conducted. In this study, we utilized a flapper to mimic the multi-joint pectoral fin of a Manta-ray and investigated its effect on power generation. Experiments were conducted by a dual flapping apparatus with rigid and flexible flappers in a towing tank facility. First, in order to determine the conditions that can produce high power generation, the performances of the dual rigid flappers were compared when input arm angles and frequencies are changed, and the two conditions $40^{\circ}$, 0.2 Hz and $40^{\circ}$, 0.3 Hz for the input arm angle, frequency were selected. When the mimicked flexible flapper was used instead of the front rigid flapper and the rear one, the power was improved by an average of 22% and 38% in the experimental conditions, respectively. Moreover, it was recognized from the apparent camber observed during the experiment that the flexible flapper had been successfully applied. If the feasibility of the Manta-Ray mimicked flapper is improved through subsequent researches, the flapping tidal turbine can be a viable alternative to rotary turbines in the near future.

Recently researchers are conducting a lot of research related to EEDI in order to satisfy IMO resolution MEPC. Especially they are interested in design of energy saving device. This paper is to design the asymmetric pre-swirl stator for 160K LNG carrier in order to reduce energy. Two types of the asymmetric pre-swirl stator are taken into account; constant and variable pitch angle stators. “constant” and “variable” mean state that the pitch of stators change by radius. The dimensions of the stators are initially determined using potential-flow code. The propulsion performances of the stators are predicted using viscous-flow code. The model test is carried out in towing tank in PNU. Prediction of ship performance generally follow ITTC recommended. Ship wake prediction was done by two method, ITTC 1978 and ITTC 1999. Therefore propulsion performances were compared ITTC 1978 with ITTC 1999 methods. Comparison components are delivered power and thrust deduction coefficient of the model. Final pre-swirl stator is selected by comparing experiment and CFD.

In the ship design process, ship motion and propulsion performance in sea waves became very important issues. Especially, prediction of ship propulsion performance during real operation is an important challenge to ship owners for economic operation in terms of fuel consumption and route-time evaluation. Therefore, it should be considered in the early design stages of the ship. It is thought that the averaged value and fluctuation of effective inflow velocity to the propeller have a great effect on the propulsion performance in waves. However, even for the nominal velocity distribution, very few results have been presented due to some technical difficulties in experiments. In this study, flow measurements near the propeller plane using a stereo PIV system were performed. Phase-averaged flow fields on the propeller plane of a KVLCC2 model ship in waves were measured in the towing tank by using the stereo PIV system and a phase synchronizer with heave motion. The experiment was carried out at fully loaded condition with making surge, heave and pitch motions free at a forward speed corresponding to Fr=0.142 (Re=2.55×106) in various head waves and calm water condition. The phase averaged nominal velocity fields obtained from the measurements are discussed with respect to effects of wave orbital velocity and ship motion. The low velocity region is affected by pressure gradient and ship motion.

본 논문에서는 비선형 자유표면파 문제에 대한 수치해법을 개발하였다. 궁극적인 물리적 모델은 수조시험에서의 조파저항 실험으로서 이를 모사하는 수치실험을 위한 수치해법을 개발하는데 그 목적이 있다. 수치해법으로서는 선형 문제에서 이미 수치방사조건의 효율성이 입증된 국소유한요소법을 비선형 문제에 응용하였다. 수치 계산과정에서는 교란원인 압력 분포면으로부터 멀리 떨어진 곳에서는 선형해를 이용하고 교란원 근처에서는 엄밀한 비선형 조건을 만족시켰다. 비선형 영역과 선형 영역 사이에는 비선형-선형 천이 완충영역을 수치 계산영역 내에 도입하여 적절히 수치 정합을 하였다. 수치 계산 과정중 각 축차 단계에서의 모드 해석을 이용하여 계산 시간을 월등히 줄일 수 있었다. 수치 계산 모형으로는 수조 실험을 모사한 자유표면 압력 분포면이 균일한 속도로 전진하는 문제를 택하였다. 본 수치계산 방법의 효율성으로 인하여 기존의 수치 계산 방법에 비해 월등이 큰 계산영역을 사용 수치계산을 수행할 수 있었다. 교란원에서 먼 하류에서 채택된 비선형 자유표면파를 선형 계산 결과와 비교하여 그동안 부분적으로 연구된 비선형파의 특성을 규명할 수 있었다. 비선형 효과에 의해 캘빈각이 증가하며, 캘빈각 근처의 파고와 파수가 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.

규칙파, 불규칙파 및 파랑과 흐름이 공존하는 상태에서 프레임에 우리형 그물을 부착하여 구성되어 있는 가두리 시설의 운동특성을 분석하기 위하여 정사각형 및 원형 구조의 가두리 시설을 대상으로 예인 수조에서 수리 모형실험을 실시하였으며, 규칙파중 운동 특성은 선형 포텐셜 이론에 의한 수치 해석의 그것과 비교하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. 1) 규칙파중 모형 가두리 시설의 상하 및 종 동요는 전후 동요와는 달리 그물의 영향을 거의 받지 않았으므로 이 시설물의운동 특성중 가장 중요한 상하 동요를 해석하는 경우에는 그물을 제외하고 프레임만을 고려해도 된다는 것을 확인하였다. 2) 불규칙파중 및 파랑과 흐름이 공존하는 상태에서 모형 가두리 시설의 운동 특성은 입사파 주기의 2배 되는 고주파수에서 시설물의 고유 주기 등에 의해 동적 운동의 peak frequency가 나타남으로써 비선형 즉, 2nd order harmonic 성분이 존재하였다 3) 파동 및 흐름장에서 동요 특성이 정사각형에 비해 비교적 작게 나타난 원형이 파도, 조류 등 환경 조건이 거친 해역에 보다 적합한 것으로 판단되었다.
