Waterjet propulsion generally refers to propulsion of ships by internally mounted pumps with proper ducting. This arrangement of the actuator component of the system leads to the fundamental differences with respects to screw propeller system. In this paper, the basic hydrodynamic characteristics of waterjet propulsion was outlined to clarify the application consideration and proposal for carrying out model self-propulsion tests with waterjet propelled models was presented. The results of model self-propulsion tests carried out in the Hyundai Maritime Research Institute towing tank with catamaran ship were presented.

A Waterjet has been widely used for the propulsion of various speed range of marine vehicles due to its many advantages compared with the conventional screw propellers. In this paper, a power prediction based on momentum flux method is presented for the preliminary estimation of required power and selection of propulsion system for the waterjet driven craft. A theoretical basis of the mechanism of the waterjet is given and some of the empirical formulas are given as well. Finally the influence of intake type and nozzle exit velocity on the efficiency will be discussed.

The performance of the waterjet system of 180 ton class fishing guard ship has been experimentally studied. A waterjet propulsion system has many advantages in comparison with a conventional screw propeller especially for high speed craft because of its good cavitation performance. Recently waterjet system has been applied to fishing boats and fishing guard ship because of avoiding a net problem although their speeds are not so high. This paper describes experimental procedure and analysis method of resistance and self-propulsion tests with a 1/14.46-scale model. Experimental results were analyzed according to ITTC 96 standard method. The full-scale effective power and delivered power of the ship were also analyzed and the full-scale speed predicted from the model test results shows a good agreement with the full-scale result from the sea trial tests.

본 논문은 복합지지형 초고속선에 사용될 pod형 물분사 추진장치에 대한 예인수조 실험 및 성능해석 결과를 보여준다. 선체와 물분사 흡입구간의 상호작용이 매우 작은 것으로 가정하고 선체저항 및 추진성능 실험을 토대로 시험선 운항시 성능을 해석하였다. 축류식 펌프를 갖는 pod형물분사 추진장치를 설계하고 단독특성시험 시스템을 개발하여 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과로부터 펌프 성능, 제트효율, 흡입구 및 노즐의 손실계수 등 물분사 추진장치 설계 및 특성파악에 유용한 자료를 확보하였다. 실험결과는 설계요구조건과 비교적 좋은 일치를 보여준다.

The performance of the waterjet system of a patrol boat has been experimentally studied. A waterjet propulsion system has many advantages comparing with a conventional screw propeller especially for high speed craft because of its good cavitation performance. This paper describes experimental procedure and analysis method of self-propulsion tests with a 1/12-scale model. Experimental results were analyzed according to ITTC 96 standard method. The full-scale effective power and delivered power of the ship were also analyzed and the full-scale speed predicted from the model test compares reasonably with the measured full-scale results of the sea trial.

A waterjet propulsion system has many advantages compared with a conventional screw propeller especially for amphibious armored wheeled vehicles because of a good maneuverability at low speed, good operation ability at shallow water, high thrust at low speed to aid maneuverability and exit from water, etc. The POD type waterjet is adequate for the present wheeled vehicle because the weight is lighter and L/B is longer than the conventional armored amphibious vehicle. Resistance and self-propulsion tests with a 1/3.5-scale model are conducted at PNU towing tank. Based on these measurements, the performance is analyzed according to ITTC 96 standard analysis method and also according to the conventional propulsive factor analysis method. Based on these two methods, the full-scale effective and delivered powers of amphibious armored wheeled vehicle are estimated. This paper emphasizes the analysis method of model test of the waterjet propulsion system for a amphibious armored wheeled vehicle and the model test technique together with the comparison of the two analysis methods.

The hydraulic design optimization and performance analysis of mixed-flow pumps for waterjet marine vehicle propulsion has been carried out using mean streamline analysis and three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code. In the present study the conceptual design optimization has been formulated with a non-linear objective function to minimize the fluid dynamic losses and then the commercial CFD code was incorporated to allow for detailed flow dynamic phenomena in the pump system. New designed mixed-flow model pump has been tested in the laboratory. Predicted performance curves by the CFD code agree very well with experimental data for a newly designed mixed-flow pump over the normal operating conditions. The design and prediction methods presented herein can be used efficiently as a unified hydraulic design process of mixed-flow pumps for waterjet marine vehicle propulsion.

This paper describes the performance of small waterjet propulsion system and show the influence of performance for nozzle shape and area. The installed engine sets a limit on maximum power in below 1800 rpm for fuel saving. Our designated target is reached by redesign of the impeller considering engine characteristics and extention of nozzle pararell part. The results of the full-scale ships are compared with thoes of the model test. In the future, those experimental data will be applied to the relation study between engine characteristics and powering performance prediction.

본 논문은 복합지지형 초고속 화물 시험선인 "나래"호에 장착된 물분사 추진장치에 대한 해상성능시험에 대하여 기술하였다. 물분사 추진 장치에서 제트 속도, 임펠러에 걸리는 추력 및 토오크 계측 방법에 대해 설명하였다. 해상성능시험 결과로부터 물분사 추진장치의 성능을 분석하였고, 1996년에 수행된 유사 물분사 추진장치 모형시험 결과와 비교하였다. 해상성능시험로부터 추정된 유효마력은 모형선 결과와 좋은 일치를 보여준다. 시험선의 최적 부상 높이는 0.75m로 추정되고 물분사 추진장치의 준추진효율은 15노트에서 0.315으로 추정되었다. 본 시험을 통하여 펌프의 성능, 제트 효율, 유입부 덕트와 노즐에서의 손실 등에 관한 유용한 자료를 확보하였으며, 모형시험 결과와 유사한 경향을 보여주었다.
