부력엔진 독립시험 모듈 해양공학수조 시험 = Buoyancy Engine Independent Test Module Test in the Ocean Engineering Basin

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO), which is developing the core technology for the buoyancy engine of underwater gliders, has developed a test module that can vertically ascend and descend with a buoyancy engine to verify the performance of the developed buoyancy engine. The independent test module was tested in a 15 metre deep pit in the Ocean Engineering Basin to verify its ability to ascend and descend. In order to test at a shallower depth than the real sea, it was necessary to know the negative buoyancy value during descent and the time at which the buoyancy engine would be activated. To do this, we solved the equation of motion in the vertical direction to obtain these values and applied them to the tank test. To validate the usefulness of solving the equation, we also compared the depth of descent over time measured in the test with the results calculated from the solution.
