The submarine pipe, which is one of the most important coastal structures, is widely used in the development of coastal and ocean engineering. The scour of the submarine pipe occurs due to the wave and the current according to the state of the sea bed. The scour affects the submarine pipe and causes it to undergo settlement and fatigue. It is difficult to predict the local scour under complicated and various conditions of the coastal environment, even though many researches on the scour of the submarine pipe have been studied in recent years. This study analyzed the scour depth around a submarine pipe by using the Neural Network technique. The back-propagation algorithms was used to train the Neural Network. The 58 simulating experimental data for the performance and validation of the Neural Network technique were analyzed in this study. Then, the regression analysis for the same data was performed in this study to predict and compare with the Neural Network technique for the scour depth.

An efficient and practical reliability evaluation method is proposed for the coastal structures in this paper. It is capable of evaluating reliability of real complicated coastal structures considering uncertainties in various sources of design parameters, such as wave and current loads, resistance-related design variables including Young's modulus and compressive strength of the reinforced concrete, soil parameters, and boundary conditions. It is developed by intelligently integrating the Latin Hypercube sampling (LHS), Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) and the finite element method (FEM). The LHS-based MCS is used to significantly reduce the computational effort by limiting the number of simulation cycles required for the reliability evaluation. The applicability and efficiency of the proposed method were verified using a caisson-type breakwater structure in the numerical example.

One of good ways to make a ship perform well in rough seas is to reduce its waterplane area and accordingly is subject to a reduced wave exciting forties. However, a great reduction of the waterplane area may create a penalty in speed performance due to the increased ratio of the wetted area to the displacement volume. This paper suggests a new catamaran hull form which compromises the speed and seakeeping quality by increasing the waterplane area somehow compared with that of the conventional SWATH ship. A 350 passenger carrying SWATH ship with a cruising speed of 30 knots in sea state of 4 has been developed and its performance was validated by the model tests. The design concept resistance performance and seakeeping dualities of the design craft are presented together with its comparative performance comparison with other high speed crafts.

In order to estimate the height of long period wave from character of deep water wave, field observation is carried out three wave gauge are arranged by a straight line from the seashore to offshore direction and the result is analyzed. In addition, the existing theory of the mechanism for long period wave producer is verified by field observation, and the relation between deep water wave and long period wave of shallow area is examined. Observed long period wave is coincided with the existing theory for the most part. In order to add the change of time and space of long period wave, the height of long period wave is calculated by the composition of long period wave in each position. As a result, the relation of long period wave and deep water wave is presented more clear. Estimate formula is drew through them.

Models of beach response due to sea level rise were verified by experiments and potential shoreline retreat around Korea and Japan was predicted. Wave tank experiments demonstrated that not only static retreat by water level rise but also additional retreat by wave action plays an important role in total retreat and additional retreat becomes important on the condition of high waves. The result of long-term analysis of tidal data over past 3 decades shows the tendency toward rise by an average of 1.79 mm/year, which is the result of rise in 29 regions and fall in 12 regions. Based on analyzed rate of long-term sea-level rise, potential shoreline retreats of study area after 50 years were calculated and the result shows serious loss of beach.

This paper introduces a non-hydrostatic wave model SWASH for simulating wave interactions with porous structures. This model calculates the flow in porous media based on volume-averaged Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations (VARANS) in ${\sigma}$-coordinate. The empirical coefficients of resistance used to account for the flow in a porous media often need to be measured or calibrated. In this study, the empirical resistance coefficients used in the model are calibrated and validated using laboratory experiments, involving dam-break flow through porous media, and solitary wave interactions with a porous structure. It is shown that the agreement between experimental and numerical results is generally satisfactory. It is also confirmed that non-hydrodynamic model, SWASH, is computationally much more efficient than the three-dimensional porous flow models based on VOF approach.

In this study, the performance of irregular wave field generation of olaFlow is first verified by comparing the frequency spectrum of the generated waves by the wave-source using olaFlow and the target wave. Based on the wave performance of irregular waves of olaFlow, the characteristics of the velocity field including the average flow velocity, longshore current and turbulent kinetic energy around the three-dimensional permeable submerged breakwaters, which act as the main external forces of the salient formation, are numerically investigated. The numerical results show that as the gap width between breakwaters decreases, the wave height in the center of the gap increases and as the gap width between breakwaters increases, the longshore currents become stronger. As a result, it is possible to understand the formation of the salient formed behind the submerged breakwaters.

Sea level rise and increase of the typhoon/hurricane intensity due to global warming have threaten coastal areas for residential and industrial and have been widely studied. In this study we showed our recent efforts on sea wind which is one of critical factors for safe maritime traffic and prediction for storm surges and waves. Currently, most of numerical weather models in korea do not have sufficient spatial and temporal resolutions, therefore we set up a find grid(about 9km) sea wind prediction system that predicts every 12 hours for three day using Weather Research and Forecasting(WRF). This system covers adjacent seas around korean peninsula Comparisons of two observed data, Ieodo Ocean Research station(IORS) and Yellow Sea Buoy(YSB), showed reasonable agreements and by data assimilation we will improve better accurate sea winds in near future.

하구부에서의 점착성 유사의 이동량(유사량)은 조류의 비대칭성, 파랑, 하천 흐름, 조류 유속과 수위의 불일치성, 유사특성, 응집현상, 하상 침식율, 바닥지형 등 많은 인자의 영향을 받는다. 본 연구는 이들 인자들이 어떻게 영향을 주는지 살펴보기 위해 점착성 유사의 이동을 모의하는 1DV 모형을 이용하여 수치실험을 실시하고 그 결과를 분석하는 것이 목적이다. 점착성 유사의 실측자료가 부족한 실정과 현상에 대한 원인을 체계적으로 연구하는 방법을 참고하여 이상적인 조류조건을 가정하고 수치모형을 적용하였다. 점착성 유사의 특성을 고려하기 위해 응집현상이 고려되었고 가변적인 한계소류력이 적용되었다. 모의 결과를 통해서 조류의 한 주기 동안 이동하는 점착성 유사량은 가는 비점착성 유사의 이동량에 비해 조류 유속의 왜곡도에 영향을 덜 받을 수 있다는 결론이 도출되었다. 이러한 점은 가변적인 한계소류력에 기인하는 것으로 고려되며, 점착성 유사의 이동량을 연구하는 경우 가변적인 한계소류력이 고려되어야 한다는 점을 알 수 있다. 조류의 유속이 왜곡된 경우 하천으로부터 유하하는 유량이 크지 않은 경우 유사량의 방향이 조류 1 주기의 평균방향과 다를 수 있다는 결론 역시 도출된다. 조류의 수위와 유속 사이의 위상차가 유사량에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 위상차가 무시되는 진행파 형태의 조류의 경우 큰 유사량을 나타내지만 약 $90^{\circ}$의 위상차를 나타내는 정상파의 경우는 무시할 정도의 유사량이 계산되었다. 위상차가 하구부의 형태에 따라서 결정된다는 점을 생각할 때 자연적 변화, 인위적 공사 등에 따라 하구부의 형태적 변화가 발생하는 경우는 유사량의 변화 역시 고려되어야 한다는 점을 알 수 있다. 이상적인 조건에서 수행된 본 연구의 보다 객관적인 검증을 위해 Ems/Dollard 하구부에서 측정된 수위, 유속, 부유사 농도 자료와 비교하였다. 그 결과 본 연구의 이상적인 조건과 유사한 특성을 나타낸다는 점을 알 수 있었고 본 연구의 결과가 자연에서 나타나는 현상의 특성을 대변할 수 있을 것으로 유추된다.

The armor blocks are used to protect the body of the structure and dissipate wave energies, so it is crucial to evaluate the stability of the armor unit. The stability of armor blocks has been mainly evaluated through empirical coefficients called the stability coefficient obtained from hydraulic model experiments. In this study, a new type of single-layered armor block called K-Block was proposed, and a new experimental method based on the pull-out force was proposed to evaluate the stability of the armor unit, including the interlocking effects. The pull-out force test proposed in this study directly measures the force required to separate the armor unit from the armored layer on the slope by applying a tensile force in the vertical and horizontal directions to the installed armor unit. The proposed experimental method confirmed that the interlocking effects of the armor block could be quantitatively evaluated, and the high stability of the K-Block was verified.
