In this study, a high speed planing boat with 7.2 meters in length is developed as the beam larger about 10% by comparing with the general planing boat. The design speed of a boat is 30 knots (about 15.4 m/s) by using 150 hp outboard engine and the main material is FRP. The resistance performance related to the free running attitude as trim and sinkage is discussed and the wave patterns are observed to clear the relationship between the performance and wave characteristics by model test. The turning circle is estimated by Lewandowski´s equation. The results show that not only the wave pattern but also the free running attitude of the boat have the strong influence on a resistance performance. The boat needs smaller engine power and has more stable running attitude because of large sinkage and small variation of trim due to the large area for the lift force and light weight.

In this study, a high speed Rigid Inflatable Boat(RIB) with about 10 meters length is developed. Design speed of the boat is 30 knots (15.43 m/s) using 250 hp twin engines and main material is aluminum. Resistance performance related to the free running attitude as trim and sinkage are discussed and wave patterns are observed to make clear the relationship between the performance and wave characteristics using model test and CFD analysis. The results show that not only wave patterns but also free running attitude of the boat have a strong influence on resistance performance. CFD results including free surface give good relative tendency for effective power and the attitude comparing model test results. CFD analysis used in this study can be used at initial ship design stage of high speed boat.

In this study, a 30ft class high speed catamaran cruise boat is designed and resistance performances are investigated by model test at a circulating water tank. Design speed of the boat is 17knots(8.7m/s) and maximum speed is 20knots(10.3m/s) using 330ps twin engine. Each single bodies are designed unsymmetric planing hull considering high speed-length-ratio(Froude number) and wave interaction at inner part of the hull. Small size fins like chine are attached near free surface at each outside of the hull to separate wave along the hull side. The results show that the small chine plays a big role in separating the wave flowing along the hull. However, in the case of relatively heavy boat such as the developed hull, such a small power due to chine can not cause additional lift and cause resistance increase.

In this study, electric propulsion leisure boat with 9 meters length is designed and the performances are investigated by CFD analysis and model test. Maximum speed of the developed boat is 15knots(7.7 m/s) using 80Kw electric motor. Catamanan type hull form with slender body is adopted considering high Froude number and large deck area. Two kinds of hull forms are designed and the performances are compared in resistance point of view. Wave patterns are observed to make clear the relationship between resistance performance and wave characteristics. The results show that not only wave interaction due to shoulder waves but also stern waves have a strong influence on resistance performance and CFD analysis including free surface can give useful informations at initial ship design stage for high Froude number catamaran boat.

해양레저 활동의 범위가 점차 원거리 항해로 확대되면서 거주가 가능한 크루즈보트가 각광받고 있다. 해양레저산업 선진국인 유럽, 북미의 경우 미려한 디자인, 인간공학적 구조 그리고 경량선체 소재 채택을 통한 연료효율 향상 등 크루즈보트의 설계와 제작에 있어 이미 경쟁력을 확보하고 있다. 반면, 국내의 경우 소형 레저보트 중심의 개발, 건조가 이뤄지고 있으며, 선체소재 또한 유리섬유강화복합재료(GFRP)가 대부분을 차지하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 원양항해가 가능한 50피트급 탄소섬유강화복합재료(CFRP) 선체 크루즈보트의 설계 및 특성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. CFRP 선체 레저보트의 선형특성을 분석하여 설계선(MMU-C.B)의 선형을 제안하였으며, 이를 기반으로 CFRP 크루즈 보트의 설계모델을 구축하였다. 또한 GFRP 레저선박의 모형시험결과와 MMU-C.B 설계결과의 조선공학적 비교검토를 통해 설계선의 형상 그리고 저항 및 활주자세 특성을 분석하였다.

The ice tank is important facility to check the performance of the ship and offshore in ice condition before the construction. MOERI(Maritime & Ocean Engineering Research Institute) constructed ice model basin on the end of 2010. The ice technology to know the phenomena of ice near the ship and to estimate power of the ship in model scale is the main characteristic of the ice model basin. To achieve this goal in one ice sheet, making of test plan and feasibility check of test possibility have to review in the beginning stage of the every test. This paper describes the number of maximum resistance and self propulsion test in a sheet of level ice and proposes the methodology to optimize pack ice, rubble ice, brash ice and ice ridge test in MOERI ice tank. The feasibility of free running test to know maneuvering performance in ice field and some specific idea to measuring ice thickness and ice ridge shape was proposed.

Hull forms for catamaran type small fishing boat powered by electric motor are newly developed by experimental approaches. Model tests for two hull forms having different length are made at circulating water channel. Resistance performance and wave patterns are compared to carry out an analysis of the effect of extension of main body. The results show that the extension of main body can give better resistance performance above a certain velocity.

The feasibility study for reducing ship resistance was carried out. A thin plate was installed in front of bow to guide the air which was induced to the bottom just following to the hull surface when ship is running fast. To confirm the reduction of surface friction, model test in the high speed CWC and numerical simulation were implemented. The results show that the induced air to the bottom is increasing according to the increasing of air velocity and it plays an important role to reduce the frictional resistance.
