본 연구에서는 구조물 상치에 에어챔버를 설치하여 챔버 내부의 공기주입량에 따라 흘수심을 조절 할 수 있는 유공 및 투수성부유식방파제를 사용하였으며, 부유식방파제의 흘수심구간에 유공을 두어 내부의 흐름에 따른 에너지소산 효과를 수리모형실험을 통하여 분석하였다. 기존 연구에 의하여 선행되어진 부유식방파제의 형상은 구조물 제체의 입사면과 투과면이 막힌 형태의 연구가 대다수였으나, 계류라인의 장력에 따른 부체의 안정성을 고려하여 본 수리모형실험에서는 입사면 흘수심구간과 투과면 흘수심구간에 유공 및 투수층을 두어 진행하는 입사파랑을 일부 흡수하도록 하였다. 또한, 부유식방파제 흘수심단면의 내부에서 흐름변화에 의한 에너지소산 효과와 입사면과 투과면의 유공률 변화에 따른 방파성능을 무공 부유식방파제와 비교하며 효율성을 분석하였다.

The energy transfer between sea-wave components by way of nonlinear wave-wave interactions plays a central role in spectral evolution. Since huge calculation time is required to exact computation of the resulting Boltzmann integral, however, the exact nonlinear energy transfer has not been directly introduced into operational wave models. Thus, effective calculation methods were examined in the present study which exploit the scale property of a scattering coefficient and the detailed balance of interactions. The improved Webb's method (IWM) has inherent stability because singularities degenerate into a negligible point. The improved Masuda's method (IMM) makes a quasi-analytical treatment of the inherent singularities and requires only 1.3 seconds of computer time via Pentium 300MHz processor. The IMM is, therefore, projected to be very useful for theoretical researches in spectral evolution with fetch- or duration-limited situations.

As a transition region between ocean and land, coastal wetlands are significant ecosystems that maintain water quality, provide natural habitat for a variety of species, and slow down erosion. The energy of coastal waves and storm surges are reduced by vegetation cover, which also helps to maintain wetlands through increased sediment deposition. Wave attenuation by vegetation is a highly dynamic process and its quantification is important for understanding shore protection and modeling coastal hydrodynamics. In this study, laboratory experiments were used to quantify wave attenuation as a function of vegetation type as well as wave conditions. Wave attenuation characteristics were investigated under regular waves for rigid model vegetation. Laboratory hydraulic test and numerical analysis were conducted to investigate regular wave attenuation through emergent vegetation with wave steepness ak and relative water depth kh. The normalized wave attenuation was analyzed to the decay equation of Dalrymple et al.(1984) to determine the vegetation transmission coefficients, damping factor and drag coefficients. It was found that drag coefficient was better correlated to Keulegan-Carpenter number than Reynolds number and that the damping increased as wave steepness increased.

Water waves are generated mainly by winds in open seas and large lakes. They carry a significant amount of energy from winds into near-shore region. Thereby they significantly contribute to the regional hydrodynamics and transport process, producing strong physical, geological and environmental impact on coastal environment and on human activities in the coastal area. Furthermore an accurate prediction of the hydrodynamic effects due to wave interaction with offshore structures is a necessary requirement in the design, protection and operation of such structures. In the present paper surface and internal waves scattering by thin surface-piercing and bottom-standing vertical barriers in a two-layer fluid is analyzed in two-dimensions within the context of linearized theory of water waves. The reflection coefficients for surface and internal waves are computed and analyzed in various cases. It is found that wave reflection is strongly dependent on the interface location and the fluid density ratio apart from the barrier geometry.
