This study performs the investigation of a long-term variation of annual maximum surge heights(AMSH) and main characteristics of high surge events, and the statistical evaluation of the AMSH using sea level data at Yeosu and Tongyeong tidal stations over more than 30 years. It is found that the long-term uptrends based on the linear regression in the AMSH are 34.5 cm/34 yr at Yeosu and 33.6 cm/31 yr at Tongyeong, which are relatively much higher than those at Sokcho and Mukho in the Eastern Coast. 71% and 68% of the AMSH occur during typhoon's event in Yeosu and Tongyeong tidal stations, respectively, and the highest surge records are mostly produced by the typhoon. The generalized extreme value distribution taking into account of the time variable is applied to detect time trend in annual maximum surge heights. In addition, Gumbel distribution is checked to find which one is best fitted to the data using likelihood ratio test. The return level and its 90% confidence interval are obtained for the statistical prediction of the future trend. The prevention of the growing storm surge damage by the intensified typhoon requires the steady analysis and prediction of the surge events associated with the climate change.

This study investigates a long-term variation of annual maximum surge heights(AMSH) and main characteristics of high surge events, which is influenced by the global warming and intensifying typhoons, using sea level data at Sokcho and Mukho tidal stations over 34 years ($1974{\sim}2007$). It is found that the there is a longterm uptrend of the AMSH at Sokcho (8.3 cm/34yrs) and at Mukho (8.7 cm/34yrs), which is significant within 95% confidence level based on the linear regression. The statistical analysis reveals that 53% of the AMSH occurs during typhoon's event in both tidal stations and the highest surge records are mostly produced by the typhoon. It is concluded that the uptrend in the AMSH is attributed by the increasing typhoon activities globally as well as locally in Korea due to the increased sea surface temperature in tropical oceans. The continuous efforts monitering and predicting the extreme surge events in the future warm environments are required to prevent the growing storm surge damage by the intensified typhoon.

확률론적 지진해일 재해도 평가(PTHA)는 최근 지진해일에 대한 연구에서는 관심을 많이 받고 있는 주제로 여러 국가에서 연구가 진행되고 있다. 단층매개변수의 민감도 분석은 일본(Goda et al., 2014), 미국(Sepúlveda and Liu, 2016), 뉴질랜드(D. Burbridge et al., 2015) 등에서 연구가 활발하게 이루어졌으며 현재도 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 민감도 분석은 PTHA를 진행하기 위한 선행 과정으로 파향선 추적을 통한 대상지 설정 및 연구 대상 단층을 선정한 후 로직트리를 만들기 위해 각 단층 매개변수의 범위와 단위 폭을 제시한다. 해당 연구는 세 가지 단층 매개변수에 대한 지진해일 초기파와 파고에 대한 민감도 분석을 실행했다. 주향각은 초기파와 지진해일고에 대해서 임의의 변동을 보이지만 변동 폭은 다른 두 매개변수들과 비교하여 가장 크다. 경사각과 슬립각은 단층의 수직 움직임을 변화시키며 이를 통해 초기파의 변동을 예측할 수 있다. 초기파의 변동과 모양을 분석함으로써 수치 계산이 가설과 유사한 결과를 보임을 확인하였다. 경사각과 슬립각에 의한 지진해일고의 변화는 최저 지진해일고가 초기파의 총 에너지와 연관된다는 결론에 이른다. 지진해일 재해도는 해안지역에 도달하는 최종 파고와 관련이 있으므로 각 매개변수의 단위 폭은 지진해일고의 결과를 통해 선정되었다. 민감도 분석은 제시한 주향각, 경사각, 슬립각의 단위 폭을 이용하여 로직트리의 분기 수를 감소시켜 수치 계산 시간을 줄임으로써 PTHA의 효율성을 증대시킨다.

The fluctuation of inundation height due to climate change and sea level rise is expected to cause the socio-economical damage in the coastal zone. To evaluate the inundation damage in Haeundae Beach Area, the inundation height was calculated using the observed data and the range of inundated area and buildings was estimated by applying to DEM data, which was constructed with airborne LiDAR data. The range of inundated area and buildings were estimated with 5 scenario of sea level rise in the condition of minimum and maximum inundation height. When the 181cm, the area of 7.19ha and 5 buildings were expected to be inundated. As 20cm in sea level rises at the minimum of the inundation height, the area of 8.90ha and 8buildings were expected to be inundated. As 30cm, 40cm, 50cm, 60cm in sea level rise, 9.98ha and 9 buildings, 11.11ha and 11buildings, 12.41ha and 11buildings, 14.18ha and 14buildings were expected to be inundated, respectively. When the 526 cm, the area of 32.35ha and 42buildings were expected to be inundated. As 20cm, 30cm, 40cm, 50cm, 60cm in sea level rise at the maximum of the inundation height, 38.94ha and 47buildings, 42.46ha and 52buildings, 45.76ha and 58buildings, 49.51ha and 66buildings, 52.53ha and 72buildings were expected to be inundated, respectively. The leisure and industry facilities, socio-economical installation, habitation are located near by the estimated inundation area, then the inundation damage is expected to be greater scale.

일반적으로 지진해일은 지진, 화산에 의한 융기 또는 침강에 따른 급작스러운 해저지각 운동에 의해 발생하며, 이에 따른 수위변동과 유체운동을 일컫는다. 그 밖에 해안/해저 산사태, 운석 낙하, 빙하 붕괴와 같이 암석, 토사, 얼음, 운석이 바다, 호수의 수면과 충돌하여 해일이 발생하기도 한다. 이 산사태 해일의 피해사례는 많지 않지만, 대부분 인명피해를 동반한다. 이에 과거부터 수리모형실험을 통해 산사태로 생성된 해일의 전파과정을 조사하는 연구들이 수행되었다. 최근에는 컴퓨터 성능향상과 다양한 수치모델이 개발됨에 따라 수치해석이 많이 수행되고 있다. 그러나 산사태 해일의 생성을 직접 모의하기 위해서는 유체-구조 상호작용(FSI; fluid-structure interaction)을 고려할 수 있는 전산유체역학(CFD; computational fluid dynamics)해석이 요구되는 관계로 활발한 연구가 진행되지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 FSI에 기초하여 충돌모의에 특화된 LS-DYNA를 이용하여 산사태 해일의 생성, 전파 그리고 직립벽(댐)에서의 처오름 및 파압 등을 검토한다. 그리고 낙하물의 형상, 낙하 높이에 따라 생성된 해일이 댐에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 또한, 이용하는 LS-DYNA 해석의 타당성 및 유효성을 확인하기 위하여 기존 수리모형실험에서 생성된 산사태 지진해일과 비교·검증한다. 수치해석 결과, 동일한 체적의 낙하물에서는 폭이 좁을수록 최대파고가 낙하물에 근접해 생성되었고, 폭이 넓을수록 파장이 길어지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 낙하물의 낙하높이가 높을수록 산사태 지진해일의 파고가 크게 생성되었다. 낙하물로부터 600m 지점에서 설치한 댐에서의 산사태 지진해일의 처오름은 파고 및 파장이 클수록 증가하였다. 산사태 지진해일의 파압 역시 처오름에 상응하게 나타났다. 그러므로 호소에서 산사태 해일이 발생한다면, 댐 및 제방의 안정성에 영향을 미칠 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study proposed a two-dimensional horizontal numerical model based on the nonlinear shallow water wave equations to simulate tsunami propagation and coastal inundation. We numerically investigated the possible impacts of tsunami caused by the triple interlocked Tokai, Tonankai and Nankai Earthquakes on the Jeju coastal areas, using the proposed model. The simultaneous Tokai, Tonankai and Nankai Earthquakes were created a virtual tsunami model of an M9.0 earthquake. In numerical analysis, a grid nesting method for the local grid refinement in shallow coastal regions was employed to sufficiently reproduce the shoaling effects. The numerical model was carefully validated through comparisons with the data collected during the tsunami events by 2011 East Japan Earthquake and 1983 central East Sea Earthquake (Nihonkai Chubu Earthquake). Tsunami propagation triggered by the combined Tokai, Tonanakai and Nankai, Earthquakes was simulated for 10 hours to sufficiently consider the effects of tsunami in the coastal areas of Jeju Island. The numerical results revealed that water level fluctuation in tsunami propagation is greatly influenced by water-depth change, refraction, diffraction and reflection. In addition, the maximum tsunami height numerically estimated in the coastal areas of Jeju Island was about 1.6 m at Sagye port.

In the previous research, the effectiveness of resonator was confirmed through the numerical analysis on two cases with the use of existing resonator at the Mukho and Imwon ports located in the eastern coast of South Korea by discussing the reduction rates of 1983 Central East Sea tsunami, and 1993 Hokkaido Southwest off tsunami, respectively. In this study, the reduction rates of tsunami height with three different resonators, Type I, II-1, and II-2, at the Samcheok port were examined respectively through the numerical analysis using COMCOT model under the same condition as the previous study. It was discussed the spatial distribution of maximum height of tsunami, change of water level, and effectiveness of resonator with the presence of new types of resonator, and change of their sizes. As a result, the effectiveness of resonator was verified through the application of new types of resonator reducing about maximum 40% of tsunami height. In order to design the optimal resonator for the variety of site condition, it is necessary to research about the various cases applying different shape, arrangement, and size of resonator as further study.

Storm surges caused by a typhoon occur during the summer season, when the sea-level is higher than the annual average due to steric effect. In this study, we analyzed the sea-level pressure and tidal data collected in 1 h intervals at Incheon, Kunsan, Mokpo, Seogwipo stations on the Yellow Sea coast to analyze the summer season storm surge and wave overtopping. According to our analyses, the summer mean sea-level rise on the west and south coasts is approximately 20 cm and 15 to 20 cm higher than the annual mean sea-level rise. Changes in sea-level rise are closely related to changes in seasonal sea-level pressure, within the range of 1.58 to 1.73 cm/hPa. These correlated mechanisms generates a phase difference of one month or more. The 18.6 year long period tidal constituents indicate that in 2090, the amplitude of the $M_2$ basin peaks on the southwest coast. Therefore, there is a need to analyze the target year for global warming and sea-level rise in 2090. Wave overtopping was simulated considering annual mean sea-level rise, summer sea level rise, the combined effect of nodal factor variation, and 100-year frequency storm surge. As a result, flooding by wave overtopping occurs in the area of Suyong Bay, Busan. In 2090, overtopping discharges are more than doubled than those in Marine City by the recent typhoon Chaba. Adequate coastal design is needed to prepare for flood vulnerability.

Each year, the south coast of Korea is badly damaged from storm surge. The damages are greatly dependent upon the local peculiarities of the region where the storm surge occurs. So, in order to prevent/reduce recurrence of the disaster, it is very important to investigate the fluctuation characteristics of the storm surge height, related to the local peculiarities at each coastal area where occurrence of the disaster is expected. In this paper, using the numerical model, the storm surge was simulated to examine its fluctuation characteristics at the Gyeongnam coast (southeast coast of Korea). Typhoons of Sarah (5914), Thelma (8705) and Maemi (0314), which caused terrible damage to the coastal area in the southeast coast of Korea in the past, were used forstorm surge simulations. Moreover, the storm surge due to virtual typhoons, which were combined the characteristics of each proposed typhoons (Maemi, Sarah, Thelma)with the travel route of other typhoon, was predicted. As expected, the results revealed that the storm surge heights are enhanced at the coastal regions with the concavity like a long-shaped bay. Also, the storm surge heights, due to each typhoon, were compared and discussed at major points along the Gyeongnam coast, related to the local peculiarities, as well as the characteristics and the travel route of typhoon.

This study aimed to assess the efficacy of an adsorption process in removing organic matter and micropollutant residuals. After a full-scale water circulation system, the adsorption process was considered a post-treatment step. The system, treating anthropogenically impacted surface waters, comprises a hydro-cyclone, coagulation, flocculation, and dissolved air flotation unit. While the system generally maintained stable and satisfactory effluent quality standards over months, it did not meet the highest standard for organic matter (as determined by chemical oxygen demands). Adsorption experiments utilized two granular activated carbon types, GAC 830 and GCN 830, derived from coal and coconut-shell feedstocks, respectively. The assessment encompassed organic materials along with two notable micropollutants: acetaminophen (APAP) and acid orange 7 (AO7). Adsorption kinetics and isotherm experiments were conducted to determine adsorption rates and maximum adsorption amounts. The quantitative findings derived from pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm models suggest the effectiveness of the adsorption process. The findings of this study propose the potential of employing the adsorption process as a post-treatment to enhance the treatment of contaminants that are not satisfactorily treated by conventional water circulation systems. This enhancement is crucial for ensuring the sustainability of urban water cycles.
