Abstract

In the study, experiments are performed in the interaction region combined with wave and current to investigate the characteristics of local scour around submarine pipelines. Wave generator and current generator are used for the experiments and two current directions were used; co-direction and counter direction to the wave. The local scour depths around the pipeline are obtained according to the various pipe diameters(D), wave periods(T), wave heights(H), and current velocities(V). The experiments show that the maximum equilibrium local scour depth increases with pipe diameter, wave period, wave height, and current velocity. Using the experimental results, the correlations of scour depth and parameters such as Shields parameter($\theta$), Froude number(Fr), period parameter, Keulegan-Carpenter number(KC), Ursell number($U_R$), modified Ursell number($U_{RP}$) and ratio of velocities($U_{c}/(U_{c}+U_{m})$) are analyzed. In the interaction region combined with waves and currents, Froude number and Shields parameter are found the main parameters to cause the local scour around the submarine pipelines and this means that current governs the scour within any limits of the currents.

본 연구에서는 해저관로의 국부세굴 특성을 고찰하기 위하여 파랑과 정상흐름이 결합된 흐름장에서 실험을 수행하였다. 조파장치와 흐름 발생장치를 이용하여 파랑과 흐름의 방향이 일치하는 경우와 반대인 경우에 대해서 검토하였다. 관경, 주기, 파고, 흐름속도 등을 변화시켜 가면서 해저관로 주변의 국부 세굴심을 측정하였다. 실험결과 최대평형 세굴심은 관경, 주기, 파고, 흐름속도가 증가할수록 증가하였다. 실험결과를 통하여, Shields 수, Froude 수, KC 수, 주기매개변수, Ursell 수, 수정 Ursell 수 및 유속비 등의 매개변수가 세굴심에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. Froude 수와 Shields 수가 국부세굴을 일으키는 주요매개변수로 나타났는데, 이것은 파랑과 흐름이 결합된 흐름장에서 어느 한도 내에서는 흐름이 세굴을 지배하는 것을 보여준다.
