In an oscillating water column (OWC)-type wave energy conversion system, the performance of the OWC chamber depends on the chamber shape, as well as the incident wave direction and pressure drop produced by the turbine. Although the previous studies on OWC chambers have focused on wave absorbing performance in ideal operating conditions, incident waves do not always arrive normally to the OWC chamber in real sea conditions, especially in fixed devices. The present study deals with experiments and numerical calculations to investigate the effects of wave direction on the performance of the OWC chamber. The experiments were carried out in a three-dimensional wave basin for five different wave directions, including the effect of turbine using the corresponding orifice. The wave elevation inside the chamber was measured at the center point under various incident wave conditions. The numerical study was conducted by using a numerical wave tank-based volume-of-fluid model to compare the results with experimental data and to reveal the detailed flows around the chamber.

본 연구에서는 홍수범람지도 제작을 위해 사용되는 수치모형의 검증을 수행하고자 한다. 검증할 수치모형은 스위스의 Beffa에 의해 개발된 FLUMEN(FLUvial Modeling ENgine)으로서 수심 적분된 2차원 비선형 천수방정식에 불규칙 심각망을 이용한 유한체적법(finite volume method)이 적용된 수치모형이며 스위스, 독일, 오스트리아 등에서 홍수범람해석에 사용된 바 있는 모델이다. FLUMEN 모형의 검증을 위하여 범람해석시 가장 중요한 문제인 이동경계조건(moving boundary condition)을 포함하고 있는 원형섬에서의 고립파에 처오름높이를 계산하여 수리모형실험 결과와 비교한다. 수리모형실험은 미국 육군 공병단 산하의 해안공학연구소(CERC, Coastal Engineering Research Center)에서 수행되었으며(Liu 등, 1995) 수조의 중앙에 높이 0.625m, 해저지름 7.2m, 경사각 $14.04^{\circ}$의 원형섬이 위치한다. 본 연구 결과, 수치해석으로 계산된 섬에서의 실제 처오름높이와 입사파의 파고의 비(R/A)는 수리모형실험의 결과와 어느 정도 일치하였다.

This study aims to investigate the characteristics of wave generation in a deep ocean engineering basin and to develop a meta-model of the transfer function of the wavemaker that reflects the geometric characteristics of the deep ocean engineering basin. To this end, the two-dimensional frequency domain boundary element method was applied to achieve an efficient analysis that reflects the geometric characteristics of the deep ocean engineering basin. The developed numerical method was validated through comparison with the analytical solution. Numerical analyses were conducted for the boundary value problem of the wavemaker according to various periods and the positions of the movable bottom. The numerical results were used to investigate the effect of the geometric characteristics of the deep ocean engineering basin on the transfer function of the wavemaker, and the effect of depth on wave generation was checked by changing the position of the movable bottom. To efficiently utilize the various results of the boundary element method, a meta-model, an approximate model of the transfer function of the wave maker, was developed using a thin plate spline interpolation model. The validity of the developed meta-model was confirmed through a comparison of the results of the model tests.

A numerical analysis for wave motion in the shallow water is presented. The method is based on potential theory. The fully nonlinear free surface boundary condition is assumed in an inner domain and this solution is matched along an assumed common boundary to a linear solution in outer domain. In two-dimensional problem Cauchy's integral theorem is applied to calculate the complex potential and its time derivative along boundary.

Among various numerical methods of wave transformations including wave breaking by structure, models using VOF(Volume Of Fluid) method to trace free surface are getting into the spotlight recently. In order to analyze wave transformations and velocity of the wave fields due to the permeable submerged breakwater(PSB), This study applied VOF method to the two-dimensional wave channel installed line-source to generate waves and added dissipation zone to offer a non-reflective boundary. Hydraulic experiments was performed to obtain the application of two-dimensional numerical wave channel. The results of numerical experiments using the two-dimensional wave channel agree well with the experimental data. It was shown that vortices are formed behind the PSB, and in case of the 2-rowed PSB they also are occurred in between PSBs, strongly non-linear waves are developed on the crown of the PSB, and the direction of velocities in porous media is determined by the shape of free surface.

In this study, the wave profiles and kinematics of highly nonlinear waves at various water depths were calculated using a 2D fully nonlinear Numerical Wave Tank (NWT). The NWT was developed based on the Boundary Element Method (BEM) with the potential theory and the mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian (MEL) time marching scheme by 4th-order Runge-Kutta time integration. The spatial variation of intermediate-depth waves along the direction of wave propagation was caused by the unintended generation of 2nd-order free waves, which were originally investigated both theoretically and experimentally by Goda (1998). These free waves were induced by the mismatch between the linear motion of wave maker and nonlinear displacement of water particles adjacent to the maker. When the 2nd-order wave maker motion was applied, the spatial modulation of the waves caused by the free waves was not observed. The respective magnitudes of the nonlinear wave components for various water depths were compared. It was found that the high-order wave components greatly increase as the water depth decreases. The wave kinematics at various locations were calculated and compared with the linear and the Stokes 2nd-order theories.

표면 반사파가 존재하는 무향수조 내에서 근접 음향 홀로그래피의 적용 가능성을 살펴보기 위하여 여러 변수의 변화에 따른 음장 예측 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수직 배열 센서 및 수평 배열 센서를 이용하는 경우에 대해 해석하였으며 수직 배열센서를 이용하여 한 면에서 측정하는 경우 표면 반사파에 의한 영향은 무시할 만큼 작은 것을 확인하였다. 수평 배열센서를 이용하는 경우에는 표면 반사파의 영향이 상대적으로 크게 나타나 반사파를 고려하기 위해 두개의 측정면에서의 음압값이 필요하며 직접파와 반사파를 모두 고려하는 경우 음압 예측치의 오차가 적게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

The evolution of leading waves generated by a wavemaker in a two-dimensional tank has been studied. The front of wave trains can be described in general by the Schrodinger equation. In particular, when the slope of the carrier waves is steep, and hence nonlinearity becomes important, the cubic Schrodinger equation is proved to be an appropriate mathematical model. Computations are made by using the Crank-Nicolson algorithm and compared with experimental data. It is found that the numerical result predicts the evolution of leading waves fairly well and the evolution is significantly affected by nonlinearity for steep waves when kh＞1.36.

In order to generate the stable tsunami in a numerical wave tank, a two-dimensional numerical model, LES-WASS-2D has been introduced the non-reflected wave generation system for various tsunami waveforms. And then, comparing to existing experimental results it is revealed that computed results of the LES-WASS-2D are in good agreement with the experimental results on spatial and temporal tsunami waveforms in the vicinity of a seawall. It is shown that the applied model in this study is applicable to the numerical simulations on tsunami overtopping and inundation. Using the numerical results, the characteristics of overtopping and inundation on a seawall are also discussed with volume ratio of tsunami and relative tsunami height. The wider the tsunami waveform, tsunami overtopping quantity and inundation distances are linearly increased. Therefore, the hydraulic characteristics is highly likely to be underestimated against the real tsunami if the solitary wave of approximation theory is applied for the overtopping/inundation simulations due to a tsunami.

This study investigates the characteristics of stem waves along a vertical wall generated by obliquely incident monochromatic waves through laboratory experiments conducted in a wave basin and numerical simulations using parabolic approximation equations. The investigation is focused on the nonlinear effect of incident waves on the propagation characteristics of stem waves. Numerical results are compared with laboratory measurements and good agreements are obtained. The main results of this study show that the normalized stem wave height along the wall decreases and the stem width increases as the angle of incident waves decreases or the nonlinearity of the incident waves increases.
