In offshore environment, an accurate estimation of a wave-structure interaction has been an important issue for safe and cost effective design of fixed and floating offshore structures exposed to a harsh environment. In this study, a wave-structure interaction around a circular column was investigated with regular waves. To simulate 3D two-phase flow, open source computational fluid dynamics libraries, called OpenFOAM, were used. Wave generation and absorption in the wave tank were activated by the relaxation method, which implemented in a source term. To validate the numerical methods, generated Stokes 2nd-order wave profiles were compared with the analytic solution with deep water condition. From the validation test, grid longitudinal and vertical sizes for wave length and amplitude were selected. The simulated wave run-up and wave loads on the circular column were studied and compared with existing experimental data.

Two analytical solutions for wave diffraction by a semi-infinite breakwater, which Penney and Price (1952), and Stoker (1957) presented, are rederived. Since in previous works the derivations were skipped or briefly given, in the paper the derivation is brought into focus. Numerical computations of the solutions are presented and solution behavior of Stoker's method due to a number of terms in the series is analyzed.

A numerical study of the process of wave deformation, such as reflection and transmission coefficients and wave forms with bottom change was carried out by Boundary Element Method using linear elements. It is assumed that the incident wave is normal and oblique to the bottom and the wave may be described by linear theory The accuracy of the computational scheme is investigated by comparing the results of other researchers in the following several cases. (1) Simple and sloping stepped bottom geometry (2) Submerged breakater type bottom geometry (3) Trench type bottom geometry

수중구조물에 의한 파랑의 변형을 예측하기 위해 3차원 수치모형을 도입하여 수치모형 실험을 수행하였다. 본 수치모형은 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 유한차분법을 이용하여 계산하는 동수압 모형으로서, 난류의 해석을 위해서 상대적으로 큰 에디(eddy)만을 고려하는 SANS(Spatially Averaged Navier-Stokes) 방정식의 해를 구하는 LES(large-eddy-simulation) 기반의 수치모형이다. 엇갈림 격자체계에서 유한차분법을 사용하여 지배방정식을 해석하는 모형으로서 수치기법으로 Two Step projection 기법을 사용하여 SANS 방정식을 계산하였으며, Bi-CGSTAB 기법을 이용하여 Poisson 방정식의 해를 구하고 압력장을 계산하였다. 또한, 자유수면의 추적을 위하여 2차 정확도의 VOF(volume-of-fluid) 기법을 사용하였다. 먼저 선형파를 일정 수심상에서 조파시켜 해석해와 비교한 후 수중구조물이 설치된 지형에 적용하여 파랑의 변형을 수치모의하여 수리모형 실험 결과와 비교 및 분석하였다.

Empirical design is still used to avoid a structural damage because impact phenomenon and structural behaviour due to wave impact load can not examined accurately. The damage due to wave impact load is largely affected by impact pressure impulse and impact load area. The objective of this study is, as the second step, to develop an efficient scantling program of bow flare structure, and to predict its impact load area by comparing maximum dented deformations at center of idealized panel structure model of bow flare structure of 300k DWT VLCC using LS/DYNA3D code, which will be used for its verification of dynamic structural analysis, as the next step. Through this study, the impact load area was estimated as $1.5s{\times}1.5s$ stiffener space(s) in the case of panel with stiffeners and as $2.5s{\times}2.5s$, with stringers, under impact pressure curve with peak height 6.5MPa, tail height 1.0MPa, and duration time 5.0msec.

Wave distribution in Jangjeon Harbour is numerically simulated for an optimum design of the harbour facilities. A deep-water design wave is estimated based on stochastic extreme wave analysis of wind data in the vicinity of the harbour, and it is applied to the boundary condition at open sea. Boussinesq wave theory that includes effects of frequency dispersion and nonlinearity is employed for the wave simulation. The porosity and sponge layer are adapted at beach to depict partial reflection and complete absorption of waves, respectively. The design wave for breakwater is computed in global domain with coarse grids and the wave distribution inside of wharf is simulated in local domain with fine grids.

The damages due to wave impact loads are largely affected by impact pressure impulse and impact load area. The objective of this study is, as the third step, to perform dynamic structural analysis of bow flare structure of 300,000 DWT VLCC using LS/DYNA3D code, and to verify its dynamic structural behaviors. The impact load areas of stiffener space $1.5s{\times}1.5s$ and $2.5s{\times}2.5s$ are applied to bow flare structure part with relatively flexible stiffeners, and with stiff members such as stringers, webs etc., respectively, under the wave impact load with peak height 6.5MPa, tail 1.0MPa, and duration time 5.0msec. Through the dynamic structural analysis in this study, it might be thought that the structural strength of bow flare structure is generally sufficient for these wave impact load and areas, except that large damages were found at bow flare structure area with flexible wide span stiffeners.

It can be assumed that the ocean waves consist of many independent pure sinusoidal components which progress in arbitrary directions. To analyze irregular sea waves, both the spectrum method and the individual wave method have been used. The spectral approach is valid in the region where the water depth is deep and the linear property of velocity distribution is predominent, while the individual wave analysis method in the region where the water depth is shallow and the wave nonlinearity is significant. Therefore, to investigate the irregular wave transformation from the deep water to the shallow water region, it is necessary to relate the frequency spectrum which is estimated by the spectrum analysis method to the i oint probability distribution of wave height, period and direction affected by the boundary condition of the individual wave analysis method. It also becomes important to define the region where both methods can be applied. This study is a part of investigation to establish a systematic approach for analyzing the irregular wave transformation. The region where the spectral approach can be applied is discussed by earring out the experiments on the irregular wave transformation in the two-dimensional wave tank together with the numerical simulation. The applicability of the individual wave analysis method for predicting irregular wave transformation including wave shoaling and breaking and the relation between frequency spectrum and joint probability distribution of wave height and period are also investigated through the laboratory experiment and numerical simualtion.

Explicit solutions of the wave dispersion equation are developed using the recursive relation in terms of the relative water depth. We use the solutions of Eckart (1951), Hunt (1979), and the deep-water and shallow-water solutions for initial values of the solution. All the recursive solutions converge to the exact one except that with the initial value of deep-water solution. The solution with the initial value by Hunt converged much faster than the others. The recursive solutions may be obtained quickly and simply by a hand calculator. For the transformation of linear water waves in whole water depth, the use of the recursive solutions will yield more accurate analytical solutions than use of previously developed explicit solutions.

파랑 중에서 선체의 운동은 선체의 형상과 선속변화에 따라 다양하게 나타나며, 관련연구는 실험적 방법과 수치 해석을 함께 병행하여 지속적으로 진행되고 있다. 파랑조건에 적합한 최적 선형 확보는 선체의 운동응답 결과로 고찰할 수 있다. 파랑 중 선체의 운동응답을 알아보기 위해 초기 선형인 Wigley 선형에 적용하였으며, 수치해의 정도를 선행연구결과와 비교분석하였다. 그리고 서로 다른 모델에 대하여 나타나는 운동응답을 상호 비교하였다. 형상에 따른 Wigley 선형의 선체 운동응답에 대하여 일반화된 선형형상에서 나타날 수 있는 파랑 중 운동응답을 얻을 수 있었다.
