  • In this study, the effects of the wave field changes due to the coastal structure on the hydrodynamic performance of the OWC wave energy, converter are analyzed using a three-dimensional numerical wave tank technique (NWT). The OWC device is simulated numerically by introducing a linear pressure drop model, considering the coupling effect between the turbine and the OWC chamber in the time domain. The flow distribution around the chamber is different due to the change of reflection characteristics depending on the consideration of the breakwater model. The wave energy captured from the breakwater is spatially distributed on the plane of the front of the breakwater, and the converted pneumatic power increased when concentrated in front of the chamber. The change of the standing wave distribution is repeated according to the relationship between the incident wavelength and the length of the breakwater, and the difference in energy conversion performance of the OWC was confirmed.

  • Frontal regions in midlatitude storms exhibit a wide range of behavior, which can be observed by remote sensors. These include decay, strengthening, rotating, and sometimes spawning of new cyclones. Here we refine and apply recent theories of front and frontal wave development to a case of a front clearly observed and analyzed in remote sensing data. By applying innovative analysis techniques to the data we assess the respective roles of ageostrophy, background deformation, and Boundary Layer processes in determining the evolution of the surface front. Our analysis comprises of diagnosis of the terms appearing in the vorticity and divergence equations using remotely sensed observations.

  • The thermal front over the shallow coastal seas of Korea during the winter season provides very unique acoustic media such that wave equation is easily separable and the solutions turn out to be very simple and well known. In steady of using the WKB method to solve the radial equation the mode technique have been applied to obtain the solution. The radial propagation is rather weakly influenced by the presence of the thermal front that causes the horizontal variations of the sound speed. The physical description of the sound propagation is also presented in terms of ray tracing.

  • A measurement-based time-domain noise simulation of radiation detector-preamplifier (front-end) noise in nuclear spectroscopy is described. The time-domain noise simulation was performed by generating "noise random numbers" using Monte Carlo's inverse method. The probability of unpredictable noise was derived from the empirical cumulative distribution function via the sampled noise, which was measured from a preamplifier output. Results of the simulated noise were investigated as functions of time, frequency, and statistical domains. Noise behavior was evaluated using the signal wave-shaping function, and was compared with the actual noise. Similarities between the response characteristics of the simulated and the actual preamplifier output noises were found. The simulated noise and the computed nuclear pulse signal were also combined to generate a simulated preamplifier output signal. Such simulated output signals could be used in nuclear spectroscopy to determine energy resolution degradation from front-end noise effect.

  • Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is defined as the interaction phenomena of electromagnetic waves scattered from a large structure or complex terrain. In this study, the propagation of linear wave is modeled with ray theory, direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC), and some classical theories on flat plates. The wave physics of reflection, refraction, and diffraction are simulated for the investigation of front and back scattering of the one-dimensional plane wave from a tower with ray theory and DSMC, respectively. The effect of rotating disk idealized from the real wind-turbine blades is modeled with a simplified version of the classical electromagnetic theory as well as DSMC based on the ray theory.

  • This study is aimed to find the scouring mechanism at the toe of rubble mound structures. To investigate the characteristics of scouring in front of the structure, experiments were performed with regular waves in a 2-D flume. The results of this study are as follows. 1) It can be said the characteristics of incident wave causes rolling and sliding of armour block. The difference of wave pressure on the slope, internal flow as well as settlement of armour block due to the weight cause scouring. 2) It is observed that scouring depth at the toe increased when wave height or period increased. The location of ultimate scouring and deposition depth moved seaward when wave period increased. 3) The failure of rubble mound structure was caused by waves or scouring. Failure by erosion increased with high waves and long waves. 4) Using surf-similarity parameter including characteristics of incident waves and structure, scouring and deposition pattern were found and their limit was formulated.

  • Shock pressure of wave breaking on vertical wall is studied experimentally with beaches, which have four different slopes (1/4.02, 1/7.05, 1/10, 1 /13.5). This results is summerized as follows: 1. Maximum impact presures are occured where the wave break directly on the wall rather than breaking in front of the wall. 2. Deep water steepness, and the beach slope are the two Quantities governing the magnitude and location of maximum dimensionless impact pressure from wave breaking directly on the wall, also, the greatest pressure is produced with a beach slope of 1/10. 3. This study is clearly shown that the location of maximum pressure can be presented above still water level under respectively experimental condition. The dimensionless elevation of maximum Pressure is greatest on a beach slope of 1/10.

  • Pulsed supersonic liquid jets injected into an ambient air are empirically studied by using a high pressure ballistic range system. Ballistic range systems which are configured with high-pressure tube, pump tube, launch tube and liquid storage nozzle. Experimental studies are conducted to use with various impact nozzle geometry. Supersonic liquid jets are generated by an impact of high speed of the projectile. High speed liquid jets are injected with M = 3.2 which pressure is 1.19 GPa. Multiple jets which accompany with shock wave and pressure wave in front of the jet were observed. The shock-wave affects significantly atomization process for each spray droplets. As decreasing orifice diameter, the averaged SMD of spray jets had the decreasing tendency.

  • Wave reflection control functions of mound for the foundation of composite and perforated break-waters were investigated through the theoretical considerations. The theory developed is based on a simple summation of components of reflected waves. The applicability of the theory is assured by the comparative studies of the theoretical calculation and experimental data on the sea surface elevation in front of a breakwater. It is found that the reflection is mainly controlled by depth and width of the mound. In the design of composite type perforated breakwaters, the width of perforated part of the upright section can be decreased to less than half of the conventional design width for the same reflection by using the reflection control function of mound part and the reflection can be reduced until less than $30\%$ of that in the composite breakwaters. Using the results, a design method of mounds is proposed, by which the reduction of wave reflection is assured under the given wave conditions.
