In order to extend the operational life of Underwater Moored Platforms (UMPs), a horizontal axis water turbine is designed to supply energy for the UMPs. The turbine, equipped with controllable blades, can be opened to generate power and charge the UMPs in moored state. Three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are performed to study the characteristics of power, thrust and the wake of the turbine. Particularly, the effect of the installation position of the turbine is considered. Simulations are based on the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the shear stress transport ${\kappa}-{\omega}$ turbulent model is utilized. The numerical method is validated using existing experimental data. The simulation results show that this turbine has a maximum power coefficient of 0.327 when the turbine is installed near the tail of the UMP. The flow structure near the blade and in the wake are also discussed.

In this research, a typical tension-leg type of floating platform incorporated with an innovative concept of underwater tuned liquid column damper system (UWTLCD) is studied. The purpose of this study is to improve the structural safety by means of mitigating the wave induced vibrations and stresses on the offshore floating Tension Leg Platform (TLP) system. Based on some encouraging results from a previous study, where a Tuned Liquid Column Damper (TLCD) system was employed in a floating platform system to reduce the vibration of the main structure, in this study, the traditional TLCD system was modified and tested. Firstly, the orifice-tube was replaced with a smaller horizontal tube and secondly, the TLCD system was combined into the pontoon system under the platform. The modification creates a multipurpose pontoon system associated with vibration mitigation function. On the other hand, the UWTLCD that is installed underwater instead would not occupy any additional space on the platform and yet provide buoyancy to the system. Experimental tests were performed for the mitigation effect and parameters besides the wave conditions, such as pontoon draught and liquid-length in the TLCD were taken into account in the test. It is found that the accurately tuned UWTLCD system could effectively reduce the dynamic response of the offshore platform system in terms of both the vibration amplitude and tensile forces measured in the mooring tethers.

통상의 수중 음향 센서는 단일 센서로는 음압의 크기만 측정할 뿐 외부 음원의 방향은 측정 할 수 없는 한계가 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 링 센서를 사용하여 음원의 방향을 찾을 수 있는 구조를 제안하였다. 제안된 구조의 링 센서는 내부 압전 세라믹이 8등분되어 배열되어 있으며, 외부 음압에 대한 각 압전 세라믹 조각의 출력 전압을 적절히 조합하여 외부 음원의 방향을 파악할 수 있는 특성을 가진다. 나아가 링 센서의 반경, 압전 세라믹의 두께, 길이와 같은 구조 변수들의 영향을 분석하여, 벡터 센서의 감도를 향상 시킬 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다.

Cables for Towed Array Sonar System(TASS) were developed. In order to verify the performance of cables, environmental and operational conditions as well as functional requirements were investigated during design stage. Double armored high and low voltage integrated cable for towed body and two kinds of cables, armored and light weight power and optic hybrid cables for towed array sensor system were developed by modeling and simulation. Customized manufacturing process and test method, such as foam extrusion and dynamic fatigue test were applied to this development. In conclusion, underwater towed hybrid cable with high tensile strength and compact structure were developed.

In the past few years, there are many studies and researches of the underwater vehicles which are carried out its mission using sonar sensors. MSCL(Marine System Control Lab.) at Inha University developed test-bed small ROV, ISRO. ISRO is an open-frame type and has 4 thrusters. ISRO can control 4 motions i.e surge, sway, yaw and heave with sonar sensors. ISRO is developed for inspection of ship hull, marine structure, plant of lake or river and so on. When ROV ISRO inspects something, it is necessary to control the position of ROV ISRO's for the movement and anti-collision with structures in the underwater. In this paper, we deal with the development of a small ROV and verification of the position control system via simulation and experiment using sonar sensors.

Dynamic buckling, also known as parametric resonance, is one of the dynamic instability phenomena which may lead to catastrophic failure of structures. It occurs when compressive dynamic loading is applied to the structures. Therefore it is essential to establish a reliable procedure to test and evaluate the dynamic buckling behaviors of structures, especially when the structure is designed to be utilized in compressive dynamic loading environment, such as supercavitating underwater vehicle. In the line of thought, a dynamic buckling test system is designed in this work. Using the test system, dynamic buckling tests including beam, plate, and stiffened plate are carried out, and the dynamic buckling characteristics of considered structures are investigated experimentally as well as theoretically and numerically.

수중 탐지용으로 사용되는 심벌 트랜스듀서에는 여러 가지 종류가 연구되어져 왔는데, 대표적인 종류로 Moonie 트랜스듀서, 컨벡스 심벌 트랜스듀서, 그리고 컨케이브 심벌 트랜스듀서 등이 있다. 본 연구에서는 수중 광대역 프로젝터용으로 이들 세 종류의 트랜스듀서의 특성을 분석하고 비교하였다. 트랜스듀서의 구조 변수들이 각 트랜스듀서의 음향 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 이를 바탕으로 각 트랜스듀서 종류가 특정 중심주파수를 가지면서 대역폭이 최대가 되는 구조를 도출하였다. 최적화된 구조를 가지는 트랜스듀서들의 성능을 비교한 결과, 컨벡스 심벌 트랜스듀서가 광대역과 고출력, 두 측면에서 모두 가장 우수하다는 것을 확인하였다.

본 논문은 해중터널에 돌발용수 발생 시 급속팽창구조체를 통한 차폐에 관한 연구이다. 현재 국내에는 터널 내 돌발용수에 대한 대책이 미비한 실정이다. 터널 내 방수로, 수문 등 유입수 처리 시설이 설비되어 있지만 많은 양의 해수 또는 지하수 유입에 대한 한계가 있으며, 수문의 경우 차단하는 시간이 느리기 때문에 피해를 최소화 할 수 없는 상황이다. 이에 따라 급속팽창구조체에 대한 차폐율 및 축 방향 이동거리에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 축소모형 실험 결과를 통해 급속팽창구조체의 개수 및 내부 공압이 차폐율에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 급속팽창구조체의 개수가 한 개에서 두개로 늘어남에 따라 차폐율이 약 35~40% 더 커지게 되었다. 또한 내부 공압이 0.2 bar에서 0.3 bar로 증가함에 따라 차폐율이 약 4% 더 커지는 것을 확인하였다. 실대형 실험을 통해 본 연구에서 확인된 결과를 검증하고 더욱 발전시킨다면 해저터널 또는 해중터널의 돌발용수에 있어 효과적인 방수대책으로 활용 가능할 것이라 판단된다.

Unlike structures in the air, the vibration analysis of a submerged or floating structure such as offshore structures is possibly only when the fluid-structures is understood, as the whole or part of the structure is in contact with water. Through the comparision between the experimental result and the finite element analysis result for a simple cylindrical model, it was verified that an added mass effects on the cylindrical structure. Using the commercial FEA program ANSYS(v.11.0), underwater added mass was superposed on the mass matrix of the structure. A frequency response analysis of forced vibration in the frequency considered the dynamic load was also performed. It was proposed to find the several important modes of resonance peak for these fixed cylindrical type structures. Furthermore, it is expected that the analysis method and the data in this study can be applied to a dynamic structural design and dynamic performance evaluation for the ground and marine purpose of power generator by wind.
