연합인증

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.

A method of reducing skin friction drag on a marine hull comprising imparting ultrasonically-induced cavitation at a boundary layer at the hull-water interface. The includes providing a sonification plate on at least a portion of a wettable area of the hull to establish a boundary layer interface between the sonification plate and the water medium, and energizing the sonification plate to produce microcavitation bubbles at the boundary layer interface whereby to alter the Reynolds number, kinematic viscosity, and coefficient of friction. The sonification plate is hermetically sealed and includes an array of ultrasonic transducers, which may be mounted on an interior or exterior surface of the hull. The energizing step nucleates microcavitation bubbles upon entrained gases and/or particulate matter residing in the water medium.

1. In a marine vessel having a planing hull and a wetted area at an interface between an aft region of the hull and a water fluid medium when underway in said medium, a method of reducing skin friction drag at the interface comprising planing said hull on said water fluid medium and acoustically generating cavitation bubbles in a boundary layer of the interface at the aft region of said planing hull whereby to reduce a coefficient of friction between the hull and the medium. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said imparting comprises: providing a sonification plate on at least a portion of the wetted area of said aft region of said hull to establish a boundary layer interface between the sonification plate and the water fluid medium,energizing the sonification plate to produce microcavitation bubbles at the boundary layer interface, andcontrolling at least one of duty cycle and intensity of said energizing. 3. The method of claim 2, further including providing an array of ultrasonic transducers within said sonification plate, hermetically sealing said sonification plate, and mounting said sonification plate on at least a portion of the wetted area of said hull. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein said energizing step nucleates microcavitation bubbles upon entrained gases and/or particulate matter residing in said water fluid medium. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein said energizing step comprising energizing said sonification plate to generate cavitation bubbles in the water fluid medium to alter a Reynolds Number Re=(ρυL)/μ=υL/η at the boundary layer interface of the wetted area of the hull, where L is length of travel of water fluid medium along the hull, ρ is density of water fluid medium, υ is velocity of the marine vessel relative to the water fluid medium, μ is viscosity of the water fluid medium, and η is kinematic viscosity of the water fluid medium. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein said energizing step includes generating a series of acoustic waves having a frequency range of ten thousand to one hundred thousand kilohertz. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein said energizing step includes providing an intensity or duty cycle control of said energizing whereby to regulate size, duration, and/or density of cavitation bubbles in accordance with conditions of water at said interface. 8. The method of claim 6, wherein said energizing step includes generating acoustic waves having a power level to at least break a surface tension of the water fluid medium at said interface. 9. A method of reducing frictional drag on a planing hull vessel comprising: accelerating the hull through water to plane the vessel,providing a sonification plate on at least a portion of a wetted area of an aft region of said hull, andenergizing the sonification plate with an energy level according to conditions of said water to acoustically generate cavitation bubbles by exceeding tensile strength of said water in and about a boundary layer at an interface between the aft region of the hull and water whereby to reduce wetted area resistance of said hull while underway through water. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein energizing step includes generating acoustic waves within a range of ten thousand to one hundred thousand kilohertz. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein said energizing step includes generating acoustic waves having a power level that at least breaks a surface tension of water exposed to said hull. 12. The method of claim 11, further including providing a power level control to regulate intensity of said acoustic waves in a general range of one to ten watts per square centimeter more or less that is sufficient to break a tensile strength of the water according to conditions of the water interfacing said hull, whereby to regulate size and duration of cavitation bubbles and to reduce unnecessary energy consumption in water having excessive nuclei upon which to nucleate cavitation and/or to allow dissipation or collapse of cavitation bubbles in time to prevent undue cavitation interference with a propulsion mechanism of said vessel located aft of said sonification plate. 13. The method of claim 11, further including providing a duty cycle or intensity control of said energizing whereby to regulate the size, duration, and/or density of cavitation bubbles in accordance with conditions of water interfacing said hull. 14. The method of claim 11, wherein said providing step includes extending said sonification plate over an entire wetted area of said hull. 15. The method of claim 11, wherein said providing step includes providing said sonification plate on a running pad of said planing hull. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein said providing step includes providing a secondary sonification plates on trim tabs of said vessel whereby to further reduce wetted area resistance of said trim tabs. 17. The method of claim 15, wherein said hull includes ventilation steps forward of said running pad, and said providing step includes providing a sonification plate on a submerged portion of at least one step whereby to further reduce wetted area resistance of said vessel. 18. A method of improving efficiency of operation of a planing hull marine vessel by reducing wetted area resistance of a hull thereof while underway through a medium of water, said method comprising: providing an insonification region on a submerged portion of an aft region of said planing hull at which to acoustically generate microcavitation bubbles,accelerating said vessel to plane said hull on said medium in order to reduce a wetted surface area of said aft region while said hull is on plane when proceeding over said medium, andacoustically generating said microcavitation bubbles at a boundary layer of said submerged region between the hull of said vessel and said medium of water whereby to reduce wetted area resistance of said vessel while underway. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein said generating step further includes producing ultrasonic waves at said boundary layer having a frequency range between ten thousand and one hundred thousand kilohertz at a power level to at least break surface tension of said medium of water. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein said generating step further includes providing a series of ultrasonic transducers to generate said microcavitation bubbles and controlling one of duty cycle and power level of exciting said transducers according to at least one condition of said medium of water.
