Wave run-up is an important issue in offshore engineering, which is tightly related to the loads on the marine structures. In this study, a series of physical experiments have been performed to investigate the wave run-up around a vertical cylinder in transitional water depth. The wave run-ups of regular waves, irregular waves and focused waves have been presented and the characteristics in frequency domain have been investigated with the FFT and wavelet transform methods. This study focuses on the nonlinear features of the wave run-up and the interaction between the wave run-up and the cylinder. The results show that the nonlinear interaction between the waves and the structures might result wave run-up components of higher frequencies. The wave run-ups of the moderate irregular waves exhibit 2nd order nonlinear characteristics. For the focused waves, the incident waves are of strong nonlinearity and the wavelet coherence analysis reveals that the wave run-up at focal moment contains combined contributions from almost all the frequency components of the focused wave sequence and the contributions of frequency components up to 4th order harmonic levels are recommended to be included.

In the ocean engineering field, information about the ocean environment is important for planning, design, and operation, especially the wave information. High precision wave data is also important for considering environmental problems, like efficient operation of ships. For this purpose, many methods were considered in the past. However, an on-board directing wave measurement system has not been incorporated. The use of conventional marine radar Plane Position Indicator (PPI) images allows the estimation of wave information on a real-time basis, using both space and time information, regarding the evolution of ocean surface waves. In order to achieve data acquisition, the Radar Scan Converter (RSC) has been developed. Three-dimensional analysis was performed. The comparison of wave information derived from this system, and that of wave buoy, shows that this wave field detecting system can be a useful tool.

본 연구는 제주도 서측 해역의 현지 파랑관측 자료를 기초로 해양파의 비선형 특성을 조사한 것으로서, 실제 해역에서 Freak wave 예보의 토대를 마련하기 위한 기초 연구이다. 관측된 파랑자료의 비선형 특성을 조사하기 위해 파형의 상하 비대칭성, 전후 비대칭성, 빈도 분포의 첨예도, 파랑 스펙트럼의 대역폭 파라미터 등을 추출하고 이들 자료를 유의파고 최대파고 등의 파랑 특성치들과의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 제시된 파랑의 비선형 파라미터들은 계측된 파랑 스펙트럼의 전반적인 비선형적 특징을 묘사하긴 하지만, 돌발적 고파랑이라고 할 수 있는 $H_{max}$와의 상관은 미약하여 Freak wave 의 발생을 단적으로 예측하기에는 부족한 것으로 나타났으나, 스펙트럼의 첨예도를 나타내는 $K_t$의 경우는 타 비선형 파라미터에 비해 다소 개선된 상관을 보여주고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

This paper compares theoretical wave profile and particle kinematics with experimental results generated by a 2 D wave tank. Particle velocity fields of compound waves were acquired using a PIV technique. Synchronization was applied to acquire images of the wave fields, and the time gap between these images was controlled by the user. This technique was applied to investigate the wave breaking mechanism, and the wave profile and velocity distribution in a wave breaking field was obtained.

This paper adopts the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) open-source code SPHinXsys to study the solitary wave interaction with coastal structures. The convergence properties of the model in terms of particle size and smoothing length are tested based on the example of solitary wave propagation in a flat-bottom wave flume. After that, the solitary wave interactions with a suspended submerged flat plate and deck with girders are studied. The wave profile and velocity field near the surface of the structures, as well as the wave forces exerted onto the structures are analyzed.

A multi-level overtopping wave energy converter was designed according to the large tidal range and small wave heights in China. It consists of two reservoirs with sloping walls at different levels. The reservoirs share a common outflow duct and a low-head axial turbine. The experimental study was carried out in a laboratory wave-flume to investigate the overtopping performance of the device. The depth-gauges were used to measure the variation of the water level in the reservoirs. The data was processed to derive the time-averaged overtopping discharges. It was found that the lower reservoir can store wave waters at the low water level and break the waves which try to climb up to the upper reservoir. The upper sloping angle and the opening width of the lower reservoir both have significant effects on the overtopping discharges, which can provide more information to the design and optimization of this type of device.

The prediction of wave conditions is crucial in the field of marine and ocean engineering. Hence, this study aims to predict the significant wave height through machine learning (ML), a soft computing method. The adopted metocean data, collected from 2012 to 2020, were obtained from the Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology. We adopted the feedforward neural network (FNN) and long-short term memory (LSTM) models to predict significant wave height. Input parameters for the input layer were selected by Pearson correlation coefficients. To obtain the optimized hyperparameter, we conducted a sensitivity study on the window size, node, layer, and activation function. Finally, the significant wave height was predicted using the FNN and LSTM models, by varying the three input parameters and three window sizes. Accordingly, FNN (W48) (i.e., FNN with window size 48) and LSTM (W48) (i.e., LSTM with window size 48) were superior outcomes. The most suitable model for predicting the significant wave height was FNN(W48) owing to its accuracy and calculation time. If the metocean data were further accumulated, the accuracy of the ML model would have improved, and it will be beneficial to predict added resistance by waves when conducting a sea trial test.

이 연구에서는 단면 수리모형실험을 통해 파의 여러 위상에 따라 단일 및 이중유수실 유공케이슨 방파제의 연직벽에 작용하는 최대 수평파력을 계측하고 그 크기를 서로 비교하였다. 본 실험 자료 분석 결과 이중유수실 케이슨의 유수실 전체 폭이 단일유수실의 폭과 동일한 경우 이중유수실 케이슨에 작용하는 총 수평파력이 평균적으로 9.6% 작은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 파력 저감 효과는 이중유수실 케이슨 방파제의 유공 전면벽과 무공 후면벽 사이에 위치한 유공 중간벽에서 파 에너지가 소산되기 때문인 것으로 파악되었다.

최근 인공위성 SAR를 이용한 기술은 해풍, 파랑, 해류 등과 같은 해양에서 발생되는 다양한 현상을 관측하고 연구하는데 필수적인 기술로 대두되고 있다. CMOD4, CMOD-IFR2 모델은 해상풍의 크기를 구할 수 있으며, wave-SAR 변환 기법과 inter-look cross-spectra 기법은 파랑의 크기, 방향과 같은 물리적 값을 추출할 수 있다. 또한 Doppler shift 기법을 적용하여 해류속도를 구할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 위의 기법들을 종합적으로 적용하여 SOP (SAR Ocean Processor) 프로세서를 개발하였다. 이 프로세서를 한반도 연안지역에 적용하여 RADARSAT-1 영상자료로부터 바람, 파랑, 해류의 물리적 정보를 추출하였으며, 이를 현장자료와 비교한 결과 신뢰할만한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
