As considerable interests in noise emission from the ships have been increased, International Maritime Organization (IMO) standardized the Underwater Radiated Noise (URN) measurement process of commercial ships in deep seas by enacting the related ISO standard ISO 17208-1 and classification societies responded with the enactment or revision of corresponding notations. According to this trend, a new hybrid underwater sound propagation model based on underwater sound propagation theories was developed and its accuracy on analysis was verified through the result comparison with the results of other generally used models. Using the verified model, each URN propagation characteristics adjusted by the correction methods proposed in the ISO standard and class notations were analyzed and compared in two assumed URN measurement cases. The results showed that the effects of transmission loss corrections in the circumstances with less bottom reflections generally similar but they had rather large differences in the model analysis results with bottom-reflection-dominant conditions. It was concluded that the deep consideration of effective bottom-reflection-correction method should be made in future revisions of ISO standard and class notations.

수중운동체의 수중방사소음을 측정하기 위해서는 수중음향 최근접점 거리의 계산과 해표면 반사 등에 의한 음향간섭이 음향준위에 미치는 영향이 고려되어야 한다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 해표면 반사에 의한 음향간섭으로 발생하는 로이드 미러 효과가 수중운동체의 수중방사소음 측정 결과에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 수중운동체의 수중방사소음 측정결과에 로이드 미러 효과에 의한 주파수스펙트럼 레벨의 변동이 나타나는 것을 확인하였고, 이론식으로부터 예측한 로이드 미러 패턴이 측정결과와 일치됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 확인된 로이드 미러 패턴으로부터 수중운동체의 최근접점거리를 추정하였으며, 표면 간섭으로 나타나는 로이드 미러 효과가 수중운동체의 수중방사소음 준위 분석에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다.

Main source of URN(Underwater Radiated Noise) which is related to the ship's survivability is divided into two groups. Cavitation is main source of URN when the speed of ship is upper than CIS(Cavitation Inception Speed). But when the speed of ship is lower than CIS, main source of URN is structure-borne noise on the hull which is originated from propulsion system, pump system or transmitted vibration of pipe system. In this paper, to reduce the vibration of discharge pipe and valve system, back flow prevent globe valve and new rubber mount are applied to the ship. As the result of applying new valve and mount, the vibration is reduced drastically.

Recently, reducing underwater radiated noise (URN) of ships has become an environmental issue to protect marine wildlife. URN of ships can be predicted by various methods considering its generating mechanism and frequency ranges. For URN prediction due to ship structural vibration in low frequency range, the fluid-structure interaction analysis technique based on finite element and boundary element methods (FE/BEM) is regarded as an useful technique. In this paper, URN due to a double bottom-shaped structure vibration has been numerically investigated based on a coupled method of FE/BEM to enhance the prediction accuracy of URN due to the vibration of real ship engine room structure. Acoustic radiation efficiency and URN transfer function in case of vertical harmonic excitation on the top plate of double bottom structure have been evaluated. Using the results, the validity of an existing empirical formula for acoustic radiation efficiency estimation and a simple URN transfer function, which are usually adopted for URN assessment in initial design stage, is discussed.

Underwater sound speed is an important analysis parameter on an estimation of the underwater radiated noise (URN) emitted from vessels. This paper aims to present an underwater sound speed measurement procedure using a cross-correlation of time-domain acoustic signals and validate the procedure through an experiment in a reverberant water tank. For the purpose, time-domain acoustic signals transmitted by a Gaussian pulse excitation from an acoustic projector have been measured at 20 hydrophone positions in the reverberant water tank. Then, the sound speed in water has been calculated by a linear regression using 190 cross-correlation cases of distances and time lags between the received signals and the result has been compared with those estimated by the existing empirical formulae. From the result, it is regarded that the presented experimental procedure to measure an underwater sound speed is reliably applicable if the time resolution is sufficiently high in the measurement.

URN(Underwater Radiated Noise) is one of the important performances of the battle ship related to the stealth. The main source of the URN is the structure-borne noise on the hull. And the pipe vibration transmitted to the hull is the main source of the structure-borne noise when the speed of the ship is lower than CIS(Cavitation Inception Speed). In this paper, the vibration isolator(rubber mount) for the pipe system is described in order to reduce the structure-borne noise transmitted to the hull. The vibrations on the sea-water conveying pipes and their supports are measured in order to know how much vibration occurs on those positions. Based on these test results, the improved design of the rubber mount is suggested by the parametric study and is verified numerically with the pipe and hull model.

Acoustic radiation efficiency is a crucial factor to estimate Underwater Radiated Noise (URN) of ships accurately. This paper describes a numerical method to analyse acoustic radiation efficiency of one side-wetted rectangular Mindlin plate with simply supported boundaries excited by a harmonic point force. Transverse displacements of plate and acoustic radiation pressures are evaluated by the mode superposition method. The acoustic radiation efficiencies analyzed by both Mindlin and thin plate theories show little differences at monopole and corner modes of low frequency regions but relatively large differences at edge and critical modes of high frequency regions. Especially, the critical frequency with the highest acoustic radiation efficiency evaluated by the Mindlin plate theory is higher than that of thin plate theory. In addition, the acoustic loading effect of fluid also increases bending wave-number of plate and its critical frequency. Finally, the acoustic radiation characteristics of plates with different aspect ratios and thicknesses through numerical analyses are investigated and discussed.

본 논문은 잠수함 공격잠망경(Attack periscope) 보호를 위한 보호구조물 설치 타당성 및 신뢰성 검증 방안에 대해 서술하고 있다. 공격잠망경은 잠망경 심도 및 수상 항해 시 대수상 및 대공 표적을 은밀하게 시각적으로 확인하기 위한 핵심 탑재 장비이다. 관측장치 및 거리측정장치를 통해 획득된 표적 정보를 전투체계에 제공하며, 대수상 및 대공탐색하여 자함의 위협 수준 판단과 표적의 영상, 거리를 포함한 위치 정보를 제공한다. OOO급 잠수함 성능개량 시 공격 잠망경을 신규 장비로 교체함에 따라 마스트 길이가 증가하였고, 증가된 마스트 길이만큼 외부로 노출됨에 따라 항해 시 어망, 그물과 같은 해상 부유물에 의한 장비 손상 발생 가능성이 커졌다. 따라서 함교에 공격잠망경 보호구조물을 설치하여 장비 운용성능을 향상시켰으며, CFD 해석 및 실제 해상에서의 수중방사소음 측정을 통해 보호구조물 설치 타당성 및 신뢰성 검증을 수행하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 향후 공격잠망경 신규 장비 교체 시 건전성 확보를 위한 참고자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
