In this paper, the wave and current forces acting on cylinders are investigated by theoretical and experimental methods. The models used are one-cylinder, four-cylinder and semi-submersible types. The theoretical investigations are carried out by the Morison equation and three dimensional source distribution method to calculate exciting forces in waves with and without currents. The experimental investigations are carried out in the wave tank which can generate currents in both directions. In these tests, the models have been exposed to the regular waves with and without currents. It is shown that the exciting forces acting on the one-cylinder or four-cylinders can be approximately estimated by the Morison equation and also by the diffraction theory. However, the Morison equation seems to be not appropriate to estimate the exciting forces on the present type of semi-submersible.

A numerical hydrodynamic performance analysis of the pitch-type multibody wave energy converter (WEC) is carried out based on both linear potential flow theory and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in the unidirectional wave condition. In the present study, Salter's duck (rotor) is chosen for the analysis. The basic concept of the WEC rotor, which nods when the pressure-induced motions are in phase, is that it converts the kinetic and potential energies of the wave into rotational mechanical energy with the proper power-take-off system. This energy is converted to useful electric energy. The analysis is carried out using three WEC rotors. A multibody analysis using linear potential flow theory is performed using WAMIT (three-dimensional diffraction/radiation potential analysis program), and a CFD analysis is performed by placing three WEC rotors in a numerical wave tank. In particular, the spacing between the three rotors is set to 0.8, 1, and 1.2 times the rotor width, and the hydrodynamic interaction between adjacent rotors is checked. Finally, it is confirmed that the dynamic performance of the rotors slightly changes, but the difference due to the spacing is not noticeable. In addition, the CFD analysis shows a lateral flow phenomenon that cannot be confirmed by linear potential theory, and it is confirmed that the CFD analysis is necessary for the motion analysis of the rotor.

The primary wave energy conversion by a three-dimensional bottom-mounted oscillating water column (OWC) wave power device in regular waves has been studied. The linear potential boundary value problem has been solved following the boundary matching method. The optimum shape parameters such as the chamber length and the depth of the front skirt of the OWC chamber obtained through two-dimensional numerical tests in the frequency domain have been applied in the design of the present OWC chamber. Time-mean wave power converted by the OWC device and the time-mean second-order wave forces on the OWC chamber structure have been presented for different wave incidence angles in the frequency-domain. It has been shown that the peak period of $P_m$ for the optimum damping parameter coincides with the peak period of the time.mean wave drift force when ${\gamma}=0$.

For the reliable design of substructure supporting offshore wind turbines it is very important to reduce the effects of wave forces. Since the substructure is strongly influenced by the effects of wave forces as the size of substructure increases. In the present study, the hybrid substructure with multi-cylinder is newly suggested to reduce the effects of wave forces. Using diffraction theory the scattering waves in a fluid region are expressed by an Eigenfunction expansion method with three dimensional potential theory to calculate the wave force acting on the hybrid substructure. The wave force and wave run-up acting on the hybrid substructure is presented to examine the water wave interaction according to the variation of cylindrical size and the distance among cylinders. It is found that the suggested hybrid substructure with multi-cylinder is very useful to reduce the effects of wave forces acting on the substructure for offshore wind turbines.

자유수면 아래 일정한 초기장력이 작용한 원형 박막이 수평으로 놓여있을 때 3차원 선형 유탄성 이론을 적용하여 파와 구조물의 상호작용문제를 고찰하였다. 속도포텐셜을 회절포텐셜과 방사포텐셜로 분리하여 각각의 경계치 문제를 푼다. 유체영열을 3개의 영역으로 나누어 각 영역에서 회절포텐셜과 방사포텐셜을 Bessel 함수의 전개식으로 표현하고 부족한 경계조건으로 생기는 미지수는 인접한 영역이 만나는 정합면에서 속도와 압력이 같다는 정합조건식을 적용하여 구해진다. 원형막의 크기와 잠긴 깊이 그리고 추기장력이 변함에 따라 원형 유연막 주위의 파의 형태가 달라짐을 볼 수 있었다. 즉, 적절히 설계된 몰수형 원형 유연막은 파 에너지를 집중시키는데 활용될 수 있다.

The interaction of incident manochromatic waves with an array of N surface-piercing porous dual cylindrical structures is investigated in the frame of three-dimensional linear potential theory. The dual cylindrical structure is camposed of concentric two cylinders. The exterior cylinder is porous and the interior cylinder is impermeable. The fluid domain is divided into N+1 regions i.e. a single exterior region and N interior regions. The diffraction potentials in each region representing the scattering of incident waves by an array of porous cylindrical structures are expressed by the Fourier Bessel series. The unknown coefficients in each region are determined by applying the porous boundary condition and continuity of mass flux at the matching boundary. It is found that an array of porous cylindrical structures reduces both the wave forces and the wave run-up, and shows the excellent performance of wave blocking. The results show that various types of breakwater exchanging seawater are prospective by controlling the porosity and the configuration of cylindrical structures.

Among the various wave power systems, Salter's duck (rotor) is one of the most effective wave absorbers for extracting wave energy. The rotor shape is designed such that the front part faces the direction of the incident wave, which forces it to bob up and down due to wave-induced water particle motion, whereas the rear part, which is mostly circular in shape, reflects no waves. The asymmetric geometric shape of the duck makes it absorb energy efficiently. In the present study, the rotor was investigated using WAMIT (a program based on the linear potential flow theory in three-dimensional diffraction/radiation analyses) in the frequency domain and verified using OrcaFlex (design and analysis program of marine system) in the time domain. Then, an experimental investigation was conducted to assess the performance of the rotor motion based on the model scale in a two-dimensional (2D) wave tank. Initially, a free decay test (FDT) was carried out to obtain the viscous damping coefficient. The pitch response was extracted from the experimental time series in a periodic regular wave for two different wave heights (1 cm and 3 cm). In addition, the viscous damping coefficient was calculated from the FDT result and fluid forces, obtained from WAMIT, are incorporated into the final response of the rotor. Finally, a comparative study based on experimental and numerical results (WAMIT & OrcaFlex) was performed to confirm the performance reliability of the designed rotor.

3차원 선형포텐셜 이론아래에서 해저면 바닥에 고정된 N개의 투과성 원기둥과 입사파의 상호작용 문제를 살펴보았다. 유체영역을 때의 외부영역과 N개의 내부영역으로 나누고, 각 유체영역에서의 회절포텐셜을 고유함수전개법에 의해 표현하였다(Williams and Li, 2000). 투과성 구조물은 파력과 처올림 파형을 크게 줄일 수 있다는 사실을 해석결과는 보여주고 있다. 개발된 해석모델을 검증하기 위하여 일렬로 배열한 투과성 원기둥들을 가지고 조파수조(30m $\times$ 7m $\times$ 1.5m)에서 체계적인 모형실험을 수행하였다. 해석결과와 모형실험결과는 정성적으로 잘 일치하고 있음을 확인하였다. 투과성 원기둥을 일렬로 배열하여 만든 방파제는 해수교환뿐 아니라 우수한 소파성능을 가지고 있어 미래의 해수교환방파제로써 무한한 잠재력이 있다고 판단된다.

파랑표류력은 크기에 있어서는 2차항(2nd-order)의 힘으로, 파도의 주기로 나타나는 1차항(1st-order)의 파랑강제력에 비해 미미하나, 부유체 자체의 복원력이 없는 수평방향으로 작용하므로 부유체에 대변위 표류운동을 유발한다. 특히 장주기 표류력은 계류시스템에 장주기 대변위 공진응답을 야기시킬 수 있으므로 계류시스템의 설계 및 운용에 고려되어야 할 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 이론적 연구로서 개량된 Green 적분방정식을 이용하여 3차원 특이점을 분포하는 방법으로 near field법을 택하여 장주기 파랑표류력을 계산하였으며 계산결과는 Pinkster 및 Standing의 결과와 비교하였다. 비선형파의 산란효과 고려는 Pinkster의 근사방법을 따랐다. 실험적 연구로서 반잠수식 시추선의 1/60 모형에 대해 규칙파 및 불규칙파중 표류력계측시험을 수행하였으며 실험결과는 계산치와 비교되었다. 끝으로 계측시험에 있어 계류스프링의 영향 및 장주기 표류력 계측에 있어서 실험상 문제점을 논하였다.
