Abstract

The present study introduces a Legendre interpolation function which is capable of analyzing wave transformation effectively in a finite element method. A Lagrangian interpolation function has been mostly used for a finite element method with a higher-order interpolation function. Although this function has an advantage of giving an accurate result with less number of elements, simulation time increases. Calculation time can be reduced by mass lumping, whereas the accuracy of solution is lowered. In this study, we introduce a modified Lagrangian interpolation function, Legendre cardinal interpolation, which can reduce simulation time with keeping up favorable accuracy. Through various numerical simulations using a Boussinesq equations model, the superiority of the Legendre cardinal interpolation function to a Lagrangian interpolation function was shown.

유한요소법에 사용되어 효율적으로 파랑변형을 해석할 수 있는 (Legendre 보간 함수) 방법을 소개하였다. 고차의 보간함수를 사용하는 유한요소모형은 대부분이 Lagrangian 보간 함수를 사용한다. 이 경우, 적은 수의 요소를 사용하고도 정확한 결과를 얻을 수 있다는 장점이 있지만 결과를 얻기 위해 소요되는 시간이 증가한다는 단점이 있다. Mass lumping을 통하여 계산 시간을 절약할 수는 있지만 이 경우에는 해의 정확성이 떨어진다는 단점이 있어 정확도를 향상시키기 위하여 요소의 수를 증가시켜 다시 계산시간이 증대되는 문제가 생기게 된다. 본 연구에서 Lagrangian 보간 함수의 변형된 형태인 Legendre 보간함수에 수치적분을 사용하여 mass lumping을 수행한 것과 같이 대각 행렬을 만들어 시간 절약의 효과를 얻으면서도 정확도가 어느 정도 유지되는 방법을 소개하였다. Boussinesq 방정식을 이용한 다양한 수치 계산을 통하여 본 연구에서 제안하는 방법의 우수성을 검증하였다.
