For effective bi-static sonar operation, detection performance analysis must be performed reflecting the characteristics of sound propagation due to the ocean environment and target information. However, previous studies analyzing bistatic sonar detection performance have either not considered the ocean environment and target characteristics or have been conducted using simplified approaches. Therefore, in this study, we compared and analyzed the bistatic detection performance in Yellow sea and Ulleung basin both with and without considering target characteristics. A numerical analysis model was used to derive an accurate bistatic target strength for the submarine-shaped target, and signal excess was calculated by reflecting the simulated target strength. As a result, significant changes in detection performance were observed depending on the source and receiver locations as well as the target strength.

This study presents the results of analysis for the wave data that were consecutively collected from February 2013 to November 2018 at the location of 1.6 km offshore from Namhangjin beach. The water depth at the location is 30.5 m and waves were measured by AWAC (Acoustic Wave And Current meter). By using wave-by-wave analysis and spectral analysis, wave heights and periods were evaluated and then the relationships between the quantities obtained by the two methods were proposed based on linear regression analysis. In addition, monthly and yearly variations of the significant wave height and period, and the peak wave direction were analyzed. Moreover, the relationship between the significant wave height and period was newly suggested. Variability and probability distribution of the significant wave period with respect to the significant wave height were also examined.

A previous velocity measurement system for marine sediment had several problems such as the errors occurred when picking first arrival time and the inconvenient measurement procedure. In order to resolve these problems, we developed a new acoustic properties measurement system by using PXI (PCI eXtentions for Instrumentation) module based on LabVIEW. To verify the new system, we measured the velocity and attenuation of sediment using the new system in a parallel with the previous system under the same experimental environment. The result of measurement showed 1~2% margin of error for the velocity as well as similar attenuation values. We concluded that the new system can efficiently measure the acoustic properties of marine sediment. It also has an advantage to construct the database of acoustic data and raw signal.

In order to understand the effects of the main components of antifoaming agents on the marine benthic ecosystem when silicone-based antifoaming agents are discharged into marine environments, eco-toxicity testing was performed on silicone and alcohol-based antifoaming agent by using benthic amphipod (Monocorophium acherusicum) and luminescent bacteria (Vibrio fischeri). The toxic effects of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a main component of silicone-based antifoaming agents on aquatic organisms were also researched. In the results of the eco-toxicity test, luminescent bacteria showed a maximum of 9 times more toxic effects than benthic amphipod for alcohol-based antifoaming agents, and silicone-based antifoaming agents showed a maximum of 400 times more toxic effects than alcohol-based. The $LC_{50}$ and $EC_{50}$ values of PDMS ranged from 10 to $44,500{\mu}g/L$ in phytoplankton, invertebrate, and fish. In the results of applying PBT (P: persistency, B: bioaccumulation, T: toxicity) characteristics as an index showing the qualitative characteristics of PDMS, persistency (P) and bioaccumulation (B) were confirmed. Thus, when PDMS is discharged to marine environments, it could accumulate in the upper trophic level through bioaccumulation and the food chain, which could have negative effects on benthic organisms. The results of this study may be used for objective and scientific risk assessment, considering the major components of antifoaming agents when investigating the effects of various discharged antifoaming agents in marine ecosystem.

To investigated the variation of marine environments due to set up of artificial structure, we carried out field observations. High temperature and salinity waters were distributed clearly in the southeastern part of study area during summer season. The variation of current structure was also occurred around study area where artificial structure set up. In 2005 after set up of artificial structure, the nutrient concentration increased greater than that in 2002 before set up artificial structures. To illustrate the characteristics of marine environment due to set up of artificial structure, quantitative analyses on the effect of artificial structure are important.

In order to produce model ice sheets having targeted physical properties in accordance with the law of similitude, the ice model basin of Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering carries out a series of processes such as cooling, seeding, freezing, and tempering. Performance in ice field of ice going ships or marine structures is evaluated from model tests in ice conditions made out of a model ice sheet such as level ice, pack ice, brash ice, and ice rubble field, etc. In this study, we investigated effects of micro-bubble layers and seeding of ice nuclei included in the process generating a model ice sheet on change in physical properties of thickness, density, and flexural strength.

This paper deals with the dynamic simulation method for analysis of driving characteristics of aircraft and towing vehicles (TUG) on carrier vessel in wave motions. For prompt deployment in a short period of time, optimization of the movement of carrier aircraft becomes a major issue. In this regards, strategy studies using real-time simulation technology and optimal decision-making technologies are being conducted. In the present work, the dynamic characteristics of carrier aircraft and TUG connected by towbar or towbarless mechanism were investigated by means of multi-body dynamics model. Meanwhile, for real-time simulation, Dugoff's model of tire loads calculation was adopted. Through comparative analysis it was confirmed that the similarity of results between the multi-body contact model and the tire load calculation model can be achieved by coefficients tuning.

In these days, there are increasing demands for weight reduction in many industrial fields including marine industries. Therefore, magnesium thin films for lightweight materials were prepared on magnesium alloy substrate. The influence of gas pressure and substrate bias voltages on the crystal orientation and morphology of the films was determined by using X-ray diffraction and FE-SEM, respectively. And the effect of crystal orientation and morphology of the magnesium thin films on corrosion behavior was estimated by measuring electro-chemical anodic polarization curves in deaerated 3% NaCl solution. From the results, corrosion resistance of Mg thin films was improved by controlling the crystal orientation and morphology of the films with effective use of plasma ion plating technique.

In this study, we investigated the tide-induced flow patterns near the ocean outfall of the Jeju and Bomok Wastewater Treatment Plants (WTP) in Jeju Island by using measurements of Acoustic Doppler Current Meter (ADCP) and a numerical experiment with inserting passive tracer into a regional ocean model. In late spring of 2018, the ADCP measurements showed that tidal currents dominate the flow patterns as compared to the non-tidal components in the outfall regions. According to harmonic analysis, the dominant type of tides is mixed of diurnal and semi-diurnal but predominantly semidiurnal, showing stronger oscillations in the Jeju WTP than those in the Bomok WTP. The tidal currents oscillate parallel to the isobath in both regions, but the rotating direction is different each other: an anti-clockwise direction in the Jeju WTP and a clockwise in the Bomok WTP. Of particular interest is the finding that the residual current mainly flows toward the coastline across the isobath, especially at the outfall of the Bomok WTP. Our model successfully captures the features of tidal currents observed near the outfall in both regions and indicates possibly high persistent pollutant accumulation along the coasts of Bomok.

본 연구에서는 장주형 해양구조물의 횡방향 진동에 대한 파라메트릭 가진 효과를 고찰하였다. 먼저, 장주형 해양구조물의 횡방향 운동에 대한 4계 편미방지배방정식을 비선형 Mathieu 방정식으로 유도하였다. 비선형 mathieu 방정식의 해를 구하여 장주형 해양구조물의 동적 반응 특성을 해석하였다. 유체 비선형 감쇠력은 불안정 조건하에 있는 파라메트릭 진동의 반응크기를 제한 하는데 중요한 역활을 한다. 파라메트릭 진동의 경우 가장 큰 반응크기는 Mathieu 안정차트의 첫번째 불안정 구간에서 일어난다. 반면에, 파라메트릭 진동과 강제진동의 결합 진동인 경우, 가장 큰 반응 크기는 두번째 불안정 구간에서 발생된다. 파라메트릭 가진으로 인한 장주형 해양구조물의 횡방향 운동은 동적조건에 따라 subharmonic, superharmonic 또는 chaotic 운동이 되기도 한다.
