Physical experiments were carried out to measure the wave force on the vertical walls of perforated breakwater considering several phases of a wave acting on the breakwater. The maximum horizontal wave force acting on each vertical wall was compared between single and double chamber caisson breakwater. The experimental data in this study showed that the total horizontal wave force for double chamber caisson was 9.6% smaller on average than that for single chamber caisson when the total chamber width was the same for both caissons. Such reduction of the wave force is due to the dissipation of wave energy at the porous middle wall, which is located between the porous front wall and non-porous rear wall.

In this study, we proposed a new-type of circular perforated caisson breakwater consisting of a bundle of latticed blocks that can be applied to a small port such as a fishing port, and numerically investigated the hydraulic characteristics of the breakwater. The numerical method used in this study is OLAFOAM which newly added wave generation module, porous media analysis module and reflected wave control module based on OpenFOAM that is open source CFD software published under the GPL license. To investigate the applicability of OLAFOAM, the variations of wave pressure acting on the three-dimensional slit caisson were compared to the previous experimental results under the regular wave conditions, and then the performance for irregular waves was examined from the reproducibility of the target irregular waves and frequency spectrum analysis. As a result, a series of numerical simulations for the new-type of circular perforated caisson breakwaters, which is similar to slit caisson breakwater, was carried out under the irregular wave actions. The hydraulic characteristics of the breakwater such as wave overtopping, reflection, and wave pressure distribution were carefully investigated respect to the significant wave height and period, the wave chamber width, and the interconnectivity between them. The numerical results revealed that the wave pressure acting on the new-type of circular perforated caisson breakwaters was considerably smaller than the result of the impermeable vertical wall computed by the Goda equation. Also, the reflection of the new-type caisson breakwater was similar to the variation range of the reflection coefficient of the existing slit caisson breakwater.

This study experimentally investigated the change in distribution of wave pressure on the front wall according to the variation of the front wall porosity of the caisson breakwater having the cap of wave chamber. First, the wave pressure for the non-porous caissson corresponding to zero porosity was measured and compared with the pressure formula suggested by Goda(1974). The analysis showed that the measured pressure distribution fairly well agreed with the Goda formula, which confirmed the accurate measurement of wave pressure in the present experiment. In case of the porous caisson, meanwhile, the experiment was performed by varying the front wall porosity as 0.2, 0.25, and 0.3. The wave pressure distribution at the front wall showed little difference according to the porosity for most of the test wave conditions, whereas the pressure slightly increased with the porosity for some test waves whose wave heights and periods were relatively large. However, the difference according to the porsosity was insignificant for the wave force at the front wall.

본 연구에서는 부유식방파제의 입사면과 전달면이 Slit으로 구성되어있어 유수실이 존재하는 투수성 부유식방파제에 대하여 2차원 자유도운동에 따른 발전가능성을 검토하였다. 입사파랑이 부유식방파제 유수실구간의 내부로 유입될 때 발생하는 강한 와류는 입사파랑의 주기와 파고가 증가할수록 궤적이 높고 길게 발생하게 된다. 이러한 원리를 이용하여 부유식방파제 유수실구간 입사면과 전달면에 각각 양방향으로 회전이 가능한 수차를 설치하고 와류 발생에 따른 2차 에너지 생성 가능성을 검토하였다. 실험결과, 입사파랑의 내습에 따라 수차는 시계방향과 반시계방향으로 회전하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 상대적으로 주기가 긴 규칙파랑 실험조건(파고 0.1m, 주기 2.0sec)에서 약 0.5W 내외의 지속적인 전기에너지를 확보하는 것으로 검토되었다.

파의 에너지 감쇠기구의 관점에서 볼 때 분류손실방식인 유공벽식 방파제 중에서 원형공이 벽 전체에 균일하게 분포되어 있고 구멍 직경에 비해 벽 두께가 얇은 삼중 유공벽형 Caisson의 각 벽에 작용하는 파력에 고나해 이론적 접근과 실험을 통한 실증을 시도해 보았다. 이론적인 방법으로는 토굴구효남의 이론을 응용하였으며 주어진 파랑조건에 대해 각 유공벽 전 후면에 연속방정식과 Bernoulli 방정식을 이용하여, 각 영역별 연속 Potential의 진폭과 위상각에 대한 비선형 12원 연립방정식을 만들었고 Computer를 이용하여 반복법으로 각 속도 Potential을 확정하였다. 이렇게 구한 속도 Potential을 압력방정식에 대입하여 각 벽별 파력을 계산하였으며 동일한 파랑조건하의 실험에서 각 벽별 파력을 측정하여 양자를 서로 비교검토하였다. Bernoulli의 방정식중 에너지 손실항은 의사비선형으로 처리하였다. 유공율조합 0.25-0.3-0.2이고, 판두께가 1cm인 모형의 실험결과, 각 벽별 최대파력치의 특성으로서는 첫때, S-2, S-3등 간벽에 작용하는 파력이 전벽 및 후벽에 비해 두드러지게 작다는 사실과, 둘째 작용파력의 크기 순이 파형경사가 작을 때는 대략 S-4, S-1, S-2, S-3순이고 파형경사가 클 때에는 대략 S-1, S-4, S-2, S-3순이라는 점 등을 들 수 있겠다. 굴구효남이 가정한 f의 치 1.5를 사용하여 계산한 각 벽별 최대파력을 실험치와 비교해 본 결과, 파가 각 유공벽을 통과할 때의 손실수두를 실험에서의 양만큼 fr=1.5를 가정한 수학적 model이 설명해 주지 못한다고 볼 수 있으므로 두가지 방법에 의하여 본 실험에서 사용한 유공판의 손실계수를 근사적으로 추정하여 보았다. 추정한 f를 사용하여 다시금 각 벽별 최대파력을 계산하고 실험치와 비교해 보면 훨씬 서로 근접함을 알 수 있었다. 결국 본 논문의 이론을 사용하면 유공Caisson문제의 전체적인 윤곽 및 각 변수들의 파력에 대한 영향을 파악할 수 있겠다.

Hydraulic experiments were carried out to investigate the hydraulic characteristics of solid and perforated-wall caissons of a mixed type breakwater for regular waves of various heights and periods. It was found that a perforated-wall caisson is more advantageous than a solid caisson for such hydraulic characteristics as reflection. transmission, and runup at the front face of the caissons and that the experimental results agree reasonably well with existing theoretical or empirical relationships. Especially the reflection coefficient of a perforated-wall caisson. mainly governed by the resonance in the wave chamber, was found to be minimum when the width of the wave chamber is approximately a quarter of the wave length in the wave chamber.

Recently, some attempts to construct slit caisson-type breakwaters are made in Korea. Since slit caisson-type breakwaters are suitable for relatively deep sea areas, a lot of theoretical and experimental researches have been performed. In this study, the reflection characteristics of vertical slit caisson breakwaters are investigated based on the measured data in two-dimensional hydraulic model tests with irregular waves. The experiments were conducted for various cases; variation of porosity of perforated-wall, width of wave chamber, number of slits for single-and double-chamber, respectively. It is found that in the case when the wave steepness (H/L$_{s}$ ) is small, the reflection coefficients are large. The existing researches have shown that the wave reflection is minimized when the nondimensional width of wave chamber B/L is about 0.2~0.25 for the regular waves. However, for the irregular waves the reflection is lowest when $B/L_2$, is 0.13~0.15. For a same porosity condition, the wave dissipation is stronger as the width of s1it is larger. The double-chamber caisson is superior to single- chamber caisson in the wave dissipating effects.

Using the eigenfunction expansion method, a mathematical model has been developed to calculate the reflection and transmission of regular waves from a multiple-row curtainwall-pile breakwater. In addition, hydraulic model experiments have been conducted with different values of porosities between the piles, drafts of the curtain walls, and distances between the rows of the breakwater. It is found that the reflection and transmission coefficients decrease and increase, respectively, with decreasing relative water depth, but they bounce to increase and decrease, respectively, as the relative water depth decreases further. When either the porosity between the piles or the draft of the curtain wall is changed with other parameters fixed, the relative magnitudes of the reflection and transmission coefficients have been changed, but the general trend remained the same. When the wavelength is the same as the distance between the rows of the breakwater, a rapid change was observed for the reflection and transmission coefficients. A good agreement between the measurement and prediction was also founded for three-row breakwaters.

Hydralic model experiments for permeable breakwaters with three different shapes of cap concrete were carried out in a two-dimensional wave channel to investigate the shape effects of cap concrete on transmission rate of the incident waves over the breakwaters. The model test results show that energy damping effects are significant in the following order; cap concrete with dissipation holes and apron, cap concrete with apron only, and cap concrete without dissipation holes and apron. It is concluded that the significant damping effects are due to energy dissipation of the incident wave as they pass through the holes and the apron.
