A Typhoon wave is generated by wind fields during the Passage of Typhoon. Transporting wind field makes wind wave and swell in the open sea, and then, those wave components are transported in the shallow water. Typhoon waves in the shallow water is generated by Typhoon wind field and incident wave. Bisides, Incident waves to the shallow water are deformated by topographic conditions. This paper estimated the analysis of the Typhoon waves by wind fields and incident waves according to wave action balance equation model. As the result of wave numerical experiment, wave field during the passage of Typhoon 'Memi' in the shallow water is strongly effect by wind fields. Wave action balance equaion can be partially used for Typhoon wave simulations.

2010년 3월 26일 21시 45분경, 백령도 서남쪽 1.6km(1마일)해상에서 대한민국 해군의 초계함 천안함이 원인 미상의 사고로 침몰한 사건이 발생하였다. 이에 연안공학자의 입장에서는 수색 및 구조에 필요한 기초자료인 해상조건들을 제공하고 시뮬레이션을 통한 보다 자세한 예측 및 유추가능한 자료를 제공한다는 것은 뜻깊은 일임에 틀림없다. 이에 본 연구에서는 백령도-대청도 부근해역의 기상, 파랑, 조석 및 조류, 저질, 부유사 상태등을 조사 분석하고 이를 기초로 해역특성을 분석하였다. 사건당시의 유속상황은 소조기(neap tide)-중조기 (mean tide) 사이에 해당하며 3월 26일이 지나고 4월 3~4일까지는 유속이 가장 강한 대조기 (spring tide)가 진행되는 시점으로 수색 및 구조작업에 에로사항이 있는것으로 파악되었다. 또한, 21:00-22:00 경은 낙조가 진행 중에 있기 때문에 물질이동은 남동쪽이 우세할 것으로 보이며 특히, 불규칙한 해저지형으로 인하여 급격한 와류 등이 존재할 것으로 판단되어 입자추적실험을 수행하였다. 수행 결과, 입자는 유속상황에 따라서, 초기에는 남동쪽으로 이동하지만 장기 예측결과, 외해쪽으로 흘러가는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통하여 추후, 수색작업의 범위를 외해쪽으로 확대시켜야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Recently, there is a tendency to design the large full ships with lower-powered engine as the means for energy saving in ship's navigation at seas. Such a lower-powered ship is anticipated to show the different propulsive performance in rough seas, because the fluctuation of main engine load of lower powered ship is relatively large as compared with higher-powered ship is relatively large as compared with higher-powered ship. The fluctuation of propeller load is nonlinear at racing condition in waves. It is due to the variation of inflow velocity into propeller, the propeller immersion and the characteristics of engine governor. In this paper, the theoretical calculation of the nominal speed loss and the numerical simulation for the nonlinear load fluctuation of a model ship in rough seas are carried out. From the results of calculation, the following are discussed. (1) The ratio of nominal speed loss to the speed in still water. (2) The manoeuvring ability of ship and the operational ability of main engine in a seaway. (3) A method of the evaluation for the fluctuation of propeller torque and revolution on the engine characteristics plane. (4) The effect of engine governor characteristics on the propeller load fluctuation.

On-site measurement of ship wave has been carried out in the vicinity of Mokpo inner harbour. The wave data were collected and logged 5Hz by the ultrasonic instrument for 12hour on May 17, 2006. The number of data was 216,000 and the maximum wave height was 81.41cm in normal weather condition. It was found that the wave conditions in this water area are predominantly affected by the ship-generated waved under normal condition. By comparing with the wind-generated waves in the open region which were irregular but with dominant directional characteristics, the existing harbor wave field was much more complex.

Due to a lack of reproducibility and visibility of the conventional equipment for westerly wave simulation, it is difficult to have indoor experiments at high school that show the stream of Hadley cell. A modified improvement of the old one improves the problem. The side wall and bottom of the new equipment is made by copper and acrylic resin, respectively, in order to clarify the difference between the water temperature inside and outside of the water tank. The equipment also has a high quality digital record for generating exact analysis of the results. And we also carried out several experiments that relate theoretical and experimental aspection of westerly wave. Temperature Detected Sheet (TDS) in flow visualization unit provides not only visual information of liquid flow, but also clear understanding of the relation between upper and lower wind flow structure. And the liquid stream simulated in indoor experiment using proposed equipment is commensurate with westerly wave in real atmosphere. The efficiency of educational properties of the proposed equipment is verified indirectly by Likert Scales survey of high school teachers.

If a hidden enemy is shooting, there is a threat against soldiers in recent conflicts. This paper aims to improve the localization of a muzzle using microphone array. Gunshot noise can provide information about the location of muzzle with two signals, the muzzle blast from the gun barrel and the projectile sound from the bullet. Two signals arrive to the microphone array with different arrival time and angle. If the arrival angles of the two signals are estimated, distance between sniper location and the microphone array can be calculated by using geometric principles. This method was established in 2003 by Pare. But this method has a limitation that it cannot calculate the distance when the arrival angles of the two signals are same. Also it has an error when the angle difference of arrival is small. In order to overcome this limitation, a new method is proposed that uses the change of characteristic of the projectile sound with respect to vertical distance from the trajectory. The proposed method estimates the distance correctly when the arrival angle of two signals are same, and when the angle difference between two signals is increased, the estimation error increases with respect to the angle. Therefore these two methods can be selected according to the angle difference between two signals to estimate the distance of the muzzle. Below the threshold of the angle difference, the proposed method can be used to estimate distance with smaller error than the existing method. This was demonstrated by shooting tests using actual sniper rifles.

It is one of the important processes to predict the resistance of the towed ship when towing a disabled ship on the sea. Besides the basic resistance of hull itself, there are various added resistance, especially the added resistance due to waves can be considered one of the biggest component. In this paper, the algorithm which predict the added resistance due to waves of a disabled ship by theoretical analysis method of ISO 15016 standard was established, and realized as a computer program. The calculated result for an example ship was compared with existing standard one, and it is considered that this algorithm and computer program are appropriate to use for predicting the resistance and towing force of the disabled ship actually.

Abnormally high waves occurring at the east coast of korea were observed at five field measurement stations and their characteristics were analyzed with the use of wind data provided by the Korean Meteorological Administration. The high waves occurred because strong Donghae twister that was developed by extratropical cyclone blew while high swell arrived at the east coast of Korea. At Sokcho, the most northern site among the five measurement stations, maximum gust speed was 63.7 m/s and significant wave height reached at its maximum of 9.69 m with the corresponding peak wave period of 12.8 s. The reason for appearance of the abnormally high waves is that high swell continued while the twister blew strongly. Moreover, the wind direction was the same as the direction of swell propagation, which maximizes the increase of wave height due to superposition of swell and wind-generated waves. On the east coast of Korea, outbreak of this type of storm waves is very probable in winter season so that it is requested to establish a countermeasure of minimizing possible damage caused by the storm waves.

Characteristics of high waves occurred in winter season on the west coast of Korea were investigated by analyzing the wave data observed at five observation locations. Records of four different high waves were subjected to the analysis together with the corresponding meteorological data during those time periods. The significant wave height reached its maximum of 6.42 m on December 4th, 2005. It was clarified that the high waves occurred due to strong wind fields that were formed over the west sea of Korea when the extra-tropical cyclone was excessively developed. Characteristics of the high waves generated in the west sea seemed to be predominantly wind sea as the temporal variation of the wave height at the coast were closely related to those of the wind speed measured at neighboring weather stations.
