Abstract

Several numerical models for predicting beach profile changes have been developed by many researchers. Many of the earlier models are known to simulate the erosional profiles with the formation of offshore bar. However, most of the models don't have proper mechanism to incorporate the recovery process of the eroded profiles after a storm and can not simulate the beach accretion with acceptable accuracy. In order to overcome these shortcomings, we propose a new numerical model which has new features to simulate the accretional phase of beach recovery process after storm including such as redistribution of suspended sand particles near the breaking point. The simulation results of the proposed model were compared with LWT (Large Wave Tank) experiments performed at CRIEPI (Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry in Japan) and CE (the Us Army Corps of Engineers) and it was shown to have performed better compared to SBEACH (Storm-induced BEAch CHange).

현재까지 제안된 해빈 종단면 변형 모델은 공통적으로 폭풍으로 인한 해빈침식과 연안 사주의 형성에 대해서는 비교적 잘 모의 할 수 있었으나 폭풍 후 퇴적작용에 의한 정상 해빈으로의 복구 과정은 잘 모의하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 한계를 극복하고자 쇄파에 의해 부유된 모래를 천수 Dean상수를 이용해 재분배하는 메카니즘을 적용한 새로운 수치모델을 제안하였다. 수치모의 결과를 미육군공병단과 일본 중앙전력연구소에서 실시한 LWT (Large Wave Tank) 실험과 비교하여 정확성을 검증하였다.
