KCS선형의 천수영역에서의 자세 변화에 대한 실험적 연구

Abstract

When a ship sails in shallow water, it is well known that an additional sinkage and trim of the ship(squat) is caused by change of hydrodynamic force between the seabed and the bottom of a ship. In this paper, to examine this phenomenon by model tests, the squat of KCS model ship at a low speed is measured by the vision based ship motion measurement system during HPMM tests. Various combinations of a ship speed, a rudder angle and a drift angle were tested at three depth conditions(H/T = 1.2, 1.5 & 2.0). As a result, increase of the ship's speed and ship's drift angle caused an increase in ship squat, but the ship's rudder angle did not. The rate of increase in ship squat was the most at H/T = 1.2 condition. Lastly these experimental results are compared to the results by three empirical formulas and two CFD methods. The tendency of ship squat measured by experiment is similar to those of empirical formulas.
