The breaking wave pressure occurs when a plunging breaker instantaneously impinges on structural surface, and appears differently depending on whether or not to form air pockets at the instant of contact. The Wagner type normally forms a single pressure peak at the contact spot due to the direct collision of water volume to the structure whereas in the Bagnold type the time lagged oscillation of the air pocket causes pressure peaks even at areas away from the spot. In the present study, the Bagnold's impact pressure is numerically and experimentally investigated for the bulkhead of an underwater tunnel under construction which is subjected to nearby breaking waves. A numerical solver of Navier-Stokes equations was applied to reproduce the breaking waves near a bulkhead, and the results showed the Bagnold's impact pressure occurring on the back (land side) face of the bulkhead. The existence of the impact pressure was also verified by a hydraulic model testing, and it was found that the experimental results well conformed to their numerical counterparts.

To investigate varying wave impact pressure exerting at the crest wall of rubble mound seawall, depending on breaking wave properties, regular waves with different wave periods were generated. Wave velocity fields and void fraction were measured using bubble image velocimetry and simple combined wave gauge system (Na and Son, 2021). For the waves with shorter wave period, maximum horizontal velocity was less reduced compared to incident wave speed while breaking-induced air entrainment was occurred intensely, leading to a significant reduction of wave impact pressure at the crest wall. For the waves with longer wave periods, less air wave entrained and the wave structure followed a flip-through mode (Cooker and Peregrine, 1991), resulting in an abrupt increase of the impact pressure.

It has been widely known that the effect of diffracted waves at the tip of composite breakwater with finite length causes the change of standing wave height along the length of breakwater, the spatial change of wave pressure on caisson, and the occurrence of meandering damage on the different sliding distance in sequence. It is hard to deal with the spatial change of wave force on trunk of breakwater through the two-dimensional experiment and/or numerical analysis. In this study, two and three-dimensional numerical techniques with olaFlow model are used to approach the spatial change of wave force including the impulsive breaking wave pressure applied to trunk of breakwater, the effect of rear region, and the occurrence of diffracted waves at the tip of caisson located on the high crested rubble mound. In addition, it is thoroughly studied the mean wave height, mean horizontal velocity, and mean turbulent kinetic energy through the numerical analysis. In conclusion, it is confirmed that the larger wave pressure occurs at the front wall of caisson around the still water level than the original design conditions when it generates the shock-crushing wave pressure checked by not two-dimensional analysis, but three-dimensional analysis through the change of wave pressure applied to the caisson along the length of breakwater.

In the previous study, both the wave characteristics at the tip of composite breakwater and on caisson were investigated by applying olaFlow numerical model of three-dimensional regular waves. In this paper, the same numerical model and layout/shape of composite breakwater as applied the previous study under the action of one directional irregular waves were used to analyze two and three-dimensional spatial change of wave force including the impulsive breaking wave pressure applied to trunk of breakwater, the effect of rear region, and the occurrence of diffracted waves at the tip of caisson located on the high crested rubble mound. In addition, the frequency spectrum, mean significant wave height, mean horizontal velocity, and mean turbulent kinetic energy through the numerical analysis were studied. In conclusion, the larger wave pressure occurs at the front wall of caisson around the still water level than the original design conditions when it generates the shock-crushing wave pressure in three-dimensional analysis condition. Which was not occurred by two-dimensional analysis. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the wave pressure distribution at the caisson changes along the length of breakwater when the same significant incident wave was applied to the caisson. Although there is difference in magnitude, but its variation shows the similar tendency with the case of previous study.

Shock pressure of wave breaking on vertical wall is studied experimentally with beaches, which have four different slopes (1/4.02, 1/7.05, 1/10, 1 /13.5). This results is summerized as follows: 1. Maximum impact presures are occured where the wave break directly on the wall rather than breaking in front of the wall. 2. Deep water steepness, and the beach slope are the two Quantities governing the magnitude and location of maximum dimensionless impact pressure from wave breaking directly on the wall, also, the greatest pressure is produced with a beach slope of 1/10. 3. This study is clearly shown that the location of maximum pressure can be presented above still water level under respectively experimental condition. The dimensionless elevation of maximum Pressure is greatest on a beach slope of 1/10.

Breaking wave is one of the important design factors in the design of coastal and port structures as they are directly related to various physical phenomena occurring on the coast, such as onshore currents, sediment transport, shock wave pressure, and energy dissipation. Due to the inherent complexity of the breaking wave, many empirical formulas have been proposed to predict breaker indices such as wave breaking height and breaking depth using hydraulic models. However, the existing empirical equations for breaker indices mainly were proposed via statistical analysis of experimental data under the assumption of a specific equation. In this study, a new Munk-type empirical equation was proposed to predict the height of breaking waves based on a representative linear supervised machine learning technique with high predictive performance in various research fields related to regression or classification challenges. Although the newly proposed breaker height formula was a simple polynomial equation, its predictive performance was comparable to that of the currently available empirical formula.

2중곡면 반파공의 월파 특성을 검토하기 위하여 입사파고 및 주기가 각각 다른 불규칙파를 대상으로 수리실험을 실시하였으며, 2중곡면 반파공과 직립형 구조물에 대해 동일한 조건으로 실험하여 이를 명확히 하였다. 특히 2중곡면 상부의 곡률반경에 따라 외해측으로 되돌리는 파랑의 비말효과에서 큰 차이가 있을 것에 착안하여 상부곡면부의 곡률반경이 증가한 정상 2중곡면 반파공(FSW)과 상부곡면부의 곡률반경이 감소한 역 2중곡면 반파공(IFSW)에 대해 실험을 수행하였다. 그리고 2중곡면 원호 크기의 비 B/D=0, 20%, 40%, 60% 및 80%인 경우에 대해서도 월파특성을 비교 검토하여 다음과 같은 결론를 얻었다. 1. 2중곡면 원호 크기의 비 B/D가 증가할수록 월파저지 효과가 개선됨을 확인 하였으며 최대 B/D가 0.8인 경우 0.2에 비해 50% 이상 월파유량이 감소하여 B/D의 변동에 따른 월파저지특성을 확인하였다. 2. 역2중곡면 반파공(IFSW)의 실험결과 기존 정상2중곡면 반파공(FSW)에 비하여 20%이상 월파량이 감소하고 있음을 알 수 있었으며 이는 2중곡면 상부측의 곡률 반경이 증가함에 따른 기하학적 특성에 의해 외해측으로의 되돌림 파랑(수괴)이 증가한 것으로 판단된다. 3. 동일한 마루높이에 대해 직립형 호안에 의한 월파량 비교결과 역 2중곡면 반파공(IFSW)의 경우 최대 80%이상의 월파량 저감 효과가 나타나는 것으로 검토되었다. 4. 월파저지의 측면에서 2중 곡면공에 비해 역2중 곡면공이 우수한 것으로 예측되었으나 2중곡면 반파공의 소파원리가 반파공의 원호내에서 쇄파를 야기하여 파에너지를 소멸하는 것이므로 쇄파를 유도하는 과정에서 충격쇄파압의 발생이 예측되는 바 이에 대한 계속적인 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.
