In this study, the simulation and analysis for the inundation in a coastal urban area according to the storm surge height are carried out using a 2-D numerical model. The target area considered in this study is a part of the new town of Changwon City, Gyungsangnam-do and this area was extremely damaged due to the storm surge generated during the period of the typhoon "Maemi" in 2003. For the purpose of the verification of the numerical model applied in this study, the simulated results are compared and analyzed with the temporal storm surge heights observed at the tide station in Masan bay and inundation traces in an urban area. Moreover, in order to investigate the influence of super typhoons possible in the future, the results simulated with the storm surge heights increased 1.25 and 1.5 times compared with those observed during the period of typhoon "Maemi" are compared and analyzed.

최(1984)에서는 일차적으로 1956-1982년의 목포항 검조기록을 분석하여 하구둑 건설에 따른 조위변화를 보고한 바 있다. 검조자료의 연장이 14년 더 확보되어 본 연구에서는 하구둑 건설전후인 1962-1979년, 1982-1992년의 두 그룹으로서 검조기록을 분석하여 하구둑에 의한 조석체계의 변화를 정량적으로 보고하고자 한다. 변화된 조석체계는 해안대수층의 수위변화, 범람급험도의 증가 등 실생활에 큰 영향을 줌에도 불구하고 이에 대한 조사가 철저하지 못한 실정이다. (중략)

Since most of the researches on the coastal inundation due to typhoons have considered only storm surges, an additional inundation due to rainfall has been neglected. In general, typhoons are natural disasters being accompanied by the rainfall. Thus, it is essential to consider the effect of rainfall in the numerical simulation of coastal inundation due to storm surges. Because the rainwater is discharged to the sea through the storm sewer system, it should be included in the numerical simulation of storm surges to obtain reasonable results. In this study an algorithm that can deal with the effects of rainfall and sewer system is developed and combined with a conventional storm surge numerical model. To test the present numerical model various numerical simulations are conducted using the simplified topography for the cases including the inundation due to rainfall, the drainage of rainwater, the backflow of sea water, and the increase of sea water level due to drainage of rainwater. As a result, it is confirmed that the basic performance of the present model is satisfactory for various flow situations.

The present study aims to document the run-up height, losses of human lives and property damage due to the tsunami occurred on December 26, 2004 in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. These Islands were severely devastated by the tsunami. Approximately 1,925 people were lost their lives and 5,555 people were reported missing. A field survey conducted at 26 sites indicates that the run-up height reached its maxima of 17.3 m at the passenger jetty of Little Andaman area and the Chdiyatopu area was inundated 500 m from the coastline.

Recently, the intensity and frequency of typhoons have been on the increase due to unusual weather phenomena and climate change. In particular, on September 13, 2003, typhoon MAEMI (0314) caused heavy damage in the provinces of Busan and Gyongnam, but also provided an opportunity to perform a variety of studies on storm surge. According to investigation reports on the damage resulting from typhoon MAEMI, the areas where coastal inundation occurred were located in reclaimed land under coastal development. In this study, through an image data analysis of historic and present day typhoons affecting Masan, we found that the inundation damage areas corresponded to reclaimed lands. Therefore, using the area around Busan, including the southeastern coast of Korea where typhoons lead to an increased storm surge risk, we performed a storm surge/inundation simulation, and examined the inundation effect on reclaimed land due to the intensified typhoons predicted for the future by climate change scenarios.

The flooding and overtopping due to unexpected large ocean wave may occur serious problems to environments and structures. Generally fixed wave breakers and several structures were installed to prevent such damages, however, they may affect to environments and charted path of ships badly. In this regard, new type of initial wave breaker was investigated in both of experimentally and numerically. For the experiments, conceptual devices were built by authors with stereo vision system. The moving particle semi-implicit method was adopted for simulation. It is revealed that the initial wave breaker reduce the damages from ocean waves by energy dissipated earlier. Furthermore, the effects of position of the initial wave breaker was also considered.

지구온난화에 의해 전세계적으로 평균해수면이 상승하고 있는데, 이는 지반의 융기 또는 침강 등을 비롯한 여러가지 지역적 차이 때문에 지역적으로 적지 않은 차이를 보이고 있다. 분석결과에 따르면 서남해안은 $1\~3mm/yr$ 정도의 비슷한 값을 보이고 있으며 제주도의 경우 $3\~5mm/yr$로 서남해안 지역에 비하여 약간 큰 값을 보이는 등 전지구적 상승량인 $1\~2mm/yr$ 보다는 다소 크게 나타나고 있다. 이와 함께 방조제와 같은 해안구조물 건설에 의해서도 평균해수면 뿐 아니라 고조위 및 저조위의 변화가 유발된다. 서남해안에서는 군산항과 목포항에서 특히 방조제 건설후에 각각 조위상승과 조석확폭현상이 발생하여 만조위 상승이 유발된 것으로 나타나고 있는데, 여기에 기인하여 목포 인근해역에서는 침식현상이 초래되고 있을 뿐 아니라 연중 해수면 변화가 심해짐에 따라 고극조위가 더욱 커져 저지대 범람이 특히 우려되고 있는 실정이다.

In this study, numerical simulations are conducted for the inundations due to storm surge and rainfall at Masan City of Korea where severe damages occurred by the typhoon Maemi. A coupled numerical model which can deal with various flow patterns such as storm surge, rainfall and sewer flows is employed. The numerical results show that the inundation area and depth increase significantly when the combined effects of storm surge and rainfall are considered in comparison with those obtained without a rainfall effect. Further numerical simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance of the sea wall being constructed for the coastal defence. The results show that the maximum inundation depths decrease when the sea wall is constructed. However, the duration of inundation becomes longer, because the rainwater on the ground cannot be discharged easily to the sea due to the presence of the sea wall.

Typhoon induced surge simulations are done to make an establishment of coastal disaster prevention plan. To apply efficient run-up and overtopping on vertical harbor docks, in which prevailing wet-dry scheme cannot be satisfied due to infinite steepness, an imaginary internal barrier concept introduced and analyzed. Before real application on the Mokpo harbor area, feasibility tests are done on an idealized simple geometry and as a result it is found that the moderate width of the barrier might be 1 m. The threshold value of the minimum wet depth $H_{min}$ for land area, which behaves sensitive role in inundation area and depth, depends on grid size. However it is revealed that 0.01 m is adequate value in this fine finite element with 10 m spacing. A hypothetical typhoon of 100 years return period in central pressure and maximum velocity is generated based on historical tracks. Simulation of possible inundation on Mokpo area is performed with asymmetrical vortex of hypothetical typhoon and wave coupling. Model results show general agreement in pattern compared to other's prediction, however possibility of inundation enlargement is expected in harbor area.

Edge wave는 해안선 근처에서 갇힌(trapped) 파의 한 형태로써, 해안선 근처에서의 산사태(Yeh and Chang, 1994) 또는 지진해일(tsunami)이 해안선에 도달한 후 해안선과의 상호간섭(Shuto, 1990)에 의해서 발생한다. Edge wave는 해안선을 따라 최대 처오름 높이(maximum run-up height)를 유지하며 진행하기 때문에 범람으로 인한 인명 및 재산피해를 야기시킬 수 있으므로 이에 관한 정확한 해석은 매우 중요하다. (중략)
