대형유조선의 저항추진성능에 미치는 자세변화의 영향에 관한 연구

Abstract

In recent years, many environmentally disastrous maritime accidents resulted from oil or fuel spills from damaged vessels. The situation becomes worse especially when the early counter treatment is not prompt enough. To properly handle this type of accidents and prevent further disasters, the propulsive performance of damaged vessels must be better understood for salvage operations, as well as for containing oil spills while the vessels are being towed or self-propelled. Until now, many hydrodynamic studies have focused on the propulsive performance of undamaged vessels but only a few studies on that of damaged vessels. In this paper, both experimental and computational methods are used to study the propulsive performance of a VLCC in heeled and/or trimmed conditions. For experimental studies, measurement systems should be modified to adapt to the variations of attitude of a damaged vessel. For numerical studies, CFD programs should be also extended to be applied to asymmetrically floating conditions.
