초록

본 연구는 문헌 분석을 통해 함정 내부에서의 생물학 에어로졸 확산 특성과 기존 환기 개념의 제약을 고찰하고, 내부 확산 억제를 목표로 하는 환기 및 압력 제어 기반 적용 방안을 제시한다. 제안된 개념은 구획 기반 존 설정, 인접 구획 간 수 파스칼(Pa) 수준의 미세 압력 위계를 전제로 한 단계적 압력 제어, 그리고 생물학 위협 단계에 따른 적응적 환기 운용을 통해 임무 핵심 구역 보호와 작전 지속성 유지를 지향한다. 본 논문은 신규 장비 도입이나 구조 변경 없이 기존 환기 인프라를 활용하여 적용 가능한 해군 함정 생물학 방호 개념의 기초 틀을 제공한다.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the dispersion behavior of biological aerosols within naval ship environments and examines the limitations of conventional ventilation-based chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) protection concepts. It proposes an application-oriented framework that prioritizes suppression of internal dispersion through compartment-based zoning, a staged pressure hierarchy with small inter-compartment pressure differentials on the order of several pascals (Pa), and ventilation operation that adapts to assessed biological threat levels. The proposed approach enhances protection of mission-critical spaces and operational continuity by utilizing existing ventilation infrastructure without structural modification or additional hardware.
