Tsunamis triggered by undersea earthquakes have the characteristic of longer wavelengths and can propagate a very long distance. Although the occurrence frequency of tsunami is low, it can cause casualties and properties. Historically, tsunamis that occurred on the western coast of Japan attacked the eastern coast of the Korean Peninsula and damaged the property and the loss of human life in 1983 and 1993. By tsunami in 1983 especially, 2 people were killed, and more than 200 casualties occurred. In addition, it caused 2 million dollars in property damage at Imwon Port. In 2011, The eastern cities of Japan: Iwate, Miyagi, Ibaraki, and Fukushima were damaged by a tsunami that occurred near onshore along the Pacific ocean and caused more than 300 billion dollars in property damage, and 20,000 casualties occurred. Moreover, those provoked nuclear power plant meltdown at Fukushima. In this study, it was carried out a relationship between maximum tsunami heights and fault parameters of earthquake: strike angle, dip angle, and slip angle at Imwon port. Those fault parameters are known that it does not relate to the magnitude of earthquake directly. Virtual tsunamis, which could be triggered by probable undersea earthquakes in the future, were investigated and mutual information based on probability and information theory was introduced to figure out the relationship between maximum tsunami height and fault parameters. Fault parameters were evaluated according to the strong relationship with maximum tsunami heights finally.

지진해일 초기 수면변위의 형상과 에너지는 지진해일 최대파고에 많은 영향을 주며, 이는 지진 매개변수에 의해 결정된다. 일본 서북부 연안에는 지진해일을 발생시킬 가능성이 높은 지진대가 분포되어 있는데, 이러한 지진의 지진 매개변수를 정확히 예측하는 것은 매우 어려운 일이다. 그러므로 이곳에서 일어나는 지진해일의 거동을 파악하고 가장 위험한 상황을 예측하기 위해서는 다양한 경우에 대한 검토가 필요하다. 그런데 지진 매개변수와 지진해일 최대파고의 상관관계를 명확히 알 수 있다면 이러한 지진해일을 검토하는데 많은 도움이 될 것이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 상관관계를 분석하기 위하여 가상의 지진해일을 대상으로 지진 매개변수의 변화에 따른 지진해일 최대파고 변화양상을 검토하였다.

In general, forecast tsunami heights announced for tsunami warning are computed by using a linear tsunami model with coarse grids which leads the underestimation of inundation area. Thus, an accurate tsunami inundation map corresponding to the forecast tsunami height is indispensible for an emergency evacuation plan. A practical way to construct a relatively accurate tsunami inundation map was proposed in this study for the quantitative forecast of inundation area. This procedure can be introduced as in the followings: The fault dislocations of potential tsunami sources generating a specific tsunami height near an interested area are found by using a linear tsunami model. Based on these fault dislocations, maximum inundation envelops of the interested area are computed and illustrated by using nonlinear inundation numerical model. In this study, the tsunami inundation map for Imwon area was constructed according to 11 potential tsunami sources, and the validity of this process was examined.

본 연구에서 건물이 밀집되어 있는 해안도시에서의 지진해일 범람에 대한 평면수리모형실험을 수행하였다. 해안도시는 미국 서해안에 위치한 도시인 Seaside를 1/50으로 축소하여 평면수조에 설치하였다. 본 실험에서 범람지역에서의 지진해일의 파고 및 수평속도 측정하였는데, 31개 지점에서 계측하였으며 입사된 지진해일의 파고는 원형 스케일 10 m로 설정하였다. 범람양상과 속도는 건물의 위치 및 배열상태에 따라 크게 다르게 계측되었다. 또한, 도시의 주요 도로를 따라 계측된 지진해일 범람 파고 및 수평속도를 이용하여 모멘텀 플럭스(Momentum flux)를 계산하였다. 모멘텀 플럭스는 해안선에서부터 육지방향으로 파가 진행하면서 감소하는 일반적인 경향을 나타내었다. 범람파고와 모멘텀 플럭스는 도로가 형성된 구역에서 감쇄가 적게 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 수평 유속이 구조물에 미치는 외력에 중요한 영향을 준다는 것을 알게 되었다.

동해에서 발생한 1983년 지진해일의 동해안에서 처오름 과정을 수치해석하였다. 비선형 천수방정식에 근거한 유한차분 수치모형을 이용하였으며, 임원에서 최대 처오름높이를 예측하였다. 예측된 결과는 현장 관측자료와 비교적 잘 일치하였다. 지진해일 범람 위험을 강조하기 위해 처오름높이를 근거한 시험적인 최대범람도를 제작하였다.

The Central East Sea Tsunami caused huge damage to the eastern coast of the Korean Peninsula, eapecially Imwon port was damaged relatively strongly beacause of water depth variation which makes the wave concentration on this port. there are many virtual tsunami in east sea which has a possibility of happening. So, it is very important to expect the region which may be damaged by vritual tsunmis. In this study, modified dispersion-correction terms are used. The modified scheme has the advantage of using the constant spatial grid size and time step size even in real topography. Dynamic linking technique and staggered grid system are used. Using this model some cases of virtual tsunami was simulated and check the region which is occured maximum wave heights on the eastern sea of the Korean peninsula.

Previous evaluations of the safety of the Ulchin Nuclear Power Plant in the event of a tsunami have the shortcoming of uncertainty of the tsunami sources. To address this uncertainty, maximum and minimum wave heights at the intake of Ulchin NPP have been estimated through a parametric study, and then assessment of the safety margin for the intake has been carried out. From the simulation results for the Ulchin NPP site, it can be seen that the coefficient of eddy viscosity considerably affects wave height at the inside of the breakwater. In addition, assessment of the safety margin shows that almost all of the intake water pumps have a safety margin over 2 m, and Ulchin NPP site seems to be safe in the event of a tsunami according to this parametric study, although parts of the CWPs rarely have a margin for the minimum wave height.

Generally, tsunamis are generated by the rapid crustal movements of the ocean floor. Other factors of tsunami generation include landslides on coastal and ocean floor slopes, glacier collapses, and meteorite collisions. In this study, two numerical analyses were conducted to examine the formation, propagation, and deformation properties of landslide tsunamis. First, LS-DYNA was adopted to simulate the formation and propagation processes of tsunamis generated by dropping rigid bodies. The generated tsunamis had smaller wave heights and wider waveforms during their propagation, and their waveforms and flow velocities resembled those of theoretical solitary waves after a certain distance. Second, after the formation of the landslide tsunami, a tsunami based on the solitary wave approximation theory was generated in a numerical wave tank (NWT) with a computational domain that considered the stability/steady phase. The comparison of two numerical analysis results over a certain distance indicated that the waveform and flow velocity were approximately equal, and the maximum wave pressures acting on the upright wall also exhibited similar distributions. Therefore, an effective numerical model such as LS-DYNA was necessary to analyze the formation and initial deformations of the landslide tsunami, while an NWT with the wave generation method based on the solitary wave approximation theory was sufficient above a certain distance.

우리나라 해안지역에는 많은 섬들이 위치하고 있어 대규모 지진해일이 발생하였을 때 섬과 지진해일의 상호작용으로 예기치 않은 지진해일 피해가 우려된다. 2011년 발생한 동일본 지진해일의 경우 제주도를 비롯한 남해안 섬들에 영향을 미쳤다. 본 연구에서는 천수이론에 근거한 수치모형을 이용하여 섬 중앙에 대하여 비대칭으로 입사하는 고립파의 처오름높이에 관하여 연구한다. 연구에서 얻은 결과는 지진해일의 급습에 대비한 방재대책을 수립하는데 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

For decades, solitary waves have commonly been used to simulate tsunami conditions in numerical studies. However, the main component of a tsunami waveform acts at completely different spatial and temporal distributions than a solitary waveform. Thus, this study applied a 2-D numerical wave tank that included a non-reflected tsunami generation system based on Navier-Stokes equations (LES-WASS-2D) to directly simulate the run-up of a tsunami-like solitary wave on a slope. First, the waveform and velocity due to the virtual depth factor were applied to the numerical wave tank to generate a tsunami, which made it possible to generate the wide waveform of a tsunami, which was not reproduced with the existing solitary wave approximation theory. Then, to validate the applied numerical model, the validity and effectiveness of the numerical wave tank were verified by comparing the results with the results of a laboratory experiment on a tsunami run-up on a smooth impermeable 1:19.85 slope. Using the numerical results, the run-up characteristics due to a tsunami-like solitary wave on an impermeable slope were also discussed in relation to the volume ratio. The maximum run-up heights increased with the ratio of the tsunami waveform. Therefore, the tsunami run-up is highly likely to be underestimated compared to a real tsunami if the solitary wave of the approximation theory is applied in a tsunami simulation in a coastal region.
