연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus, comprising: a marine seismic streamer; a hydrofoil operatively connected to the streamer; a vortex concentrator deployed proximate a tip of the hydrofoil; and a vortex reducing device deployed substantially in the wake of the vortex concentrator thus reducing noise in sensors contained in the streamer, the vortex reducing device selected from a) a device comprising a hub, a duct and at least one pair of ribs, wherein one of the pair of ribs is coupled to the hub and one of the pair of ribs is coupled to the duct; and b) a propeller. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the vortex concentrator comprises a rotational body having an axis of cylindrical symmetry. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the vortex reducing device has an axis of cylindrical symmetry. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the vortex reducing device is deployed such that the axis of cylindrical symmetry of the vortex reducing device is coaxial with the axis of symmetry of the vortex concentrator. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the vortex reducing device comprises a hub, a duct, and at least one pair of ribs, and wherein one of the pair of ribs is coupled to the hub and one of the pair of ribs is coupled to the duct. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein each of the ribs has a length that is selected to rectify fluid flowing past the ribs. 7. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the at least one pair of ribs comprises at least one pair of triangular ribs. 8. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the at least one pair of ribs comprises eight pairs of triangular ribs. 9. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein a diameter of the duct is selected so that a selected tip vortex velocity is within the duct. 10. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein one of the pair of ribs is deployed on the hub and one of the pair of ribs is deployed on the duct such that each pair of ribs does not substantially shadow another pair of ribs as fluid flows past the pair of ribs, and wherein each rib does not substantially shadow another rib as fluid flows past the pair of ribs. 11. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein at least one of the ribs, the hub, and the duct comprise carbon fiber. 12. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the vortex reducing device comprises a propeller. 13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein one or more eigenfrequencies of the propeller are substantially outside a seismic band being sensed by the sensors. 14. The apparatus of claim 12, further comprising a generator, and wherein the propeller is rotationally coupled to the generator so that rotation of the propeller drives the generator. 15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the generator is electrically coupled to a battery. 16. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the generator is electrically coupled to the hydrofoil, and wherein the generator is configured to provide electric power to a control system of the hydrofoil. 17. A method, comprising: towing a marine seismic streamer and a hydrofoil operatively connected to the streamer; concentrating at least one vortex proximate at least one tip of the hydrofoil; and reducing a rotational velocity of the at least one concentrated vortex by passing the concentrated vortex through a vortex reducing device thereby reducing noise in the streamer, the vortex reducing device selected from a) a device comprising a hub, a duct and at least one pair of ribs, wherein one of the pair of ribs is coupled to the hub and one of the pair of ribs is coupled to the duct; and b) a propeller. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein concentrating the at least one vortex proximate the tip of the hydrofoil comprises providing at least one rotational body proximate the tip of the hydrofoil. 19. The method of claim 17, wherein reducing the rotational velocity of the at least one concentrated vortex comprises providing at least one vortex reducing device substantially in a wake of the at least one rotational body. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein providing the at least one vortex reducing device substantially in the wake of the at least one rotational body comprises providing at least one pair of ribs substantially in the wake of the at least one rotational body. 21.
