This study introduces the case of pipelines installed in subsea conditions and buried offshore. Such installations generate pore water pressure under the seabed because of cyclic wave excitation, which is an environmental load, and consistent cyclic wave loading that reduce the soil shear strength of the seabed, possibly leading to liquefaction. Therefore, in view of the liquefaction of the seabed, stability of the subsea pipelines should be examined via calculations using a simple method for buried subsea pipelines and floating structures. Particularly, for studying the possible liquefaction of the seabed in regard to subsea pipelines, high waves of a 10- and 100-year period and the number of occurrences that are affected by the environment within a division cycle of 90 s should be applied. However, when applying significant wave heights (HS), the number of occurrences within a division cycle of 3 h are required to be considered. Furthermore, to research whether dynamic vertical load affect the seabed, mostly a linear wave is used; this is particularly necessary to apply for considering the liquefaction of the seabed in the case of pile structure or subsea pipeline installation.

The effect of wave and current interactions on jet-like current flowing against waves was investigated based on numerical simulations. The numerical simulations are conducted by a combined model system of REF/DIF(a wave model) plus SHORECIRC(a current model) and a Boussinesq equation model, FUNWAVE. In the simulations, regular and irregular waves refracted due to the jet-like opposing current were focused along the core region of current, and the jet-like current was earlier spreaded when the waves had larger wave heights. The numerical results show that the rapid change of wave height distribution in transverse direction near current inlet plays a significant role to spread the jet-like current. In other words, the gradients of radiation stress forcing in transverse direction have a more significant effect on the jet-like current than its relatively small gradients forcing in flowing direction, which tend to accelerate the current, do. In conclusion, it is indispensible to take into account the interaction effect of wave transformation and current characteristics when waves meet the opposing jet-like current such as river mouth.

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.

The objective of this study is to observe and optimize a typical ocean environment and reduce wave reflections in the wave flume. In order to generate ocean waves in the wave flume, a combination of a horizontal piston type wave generator and wave absorbers was installed in the channel. Two probes for measuring the wave heights, i.e., wave level gauges, were used to record the continuous variation of the wave surface, the phase difference, and the maximum (crest) and minimum (trough) points of the propagating waves. In order to optimize the shape and size of the propagating waves, several absorption methods were proposed. Apart from an active wave absorption method, we used methods that involved vertical porous plates, horizontal punching plates, and sloping-wall-type wave absorbers. To obtain the best propagating waves, a sloping-wall-type wave absorber was chosen and tested in terms of the constitutive filling materials and the location and shape of the plate. This study also focused on the theoretical prediction of the wave surface, separating them into the incident and reflective components. From the results, it is evident that the wave absorber comprising a hard filling material exhibits a better performance than the absorber comprising a soft material, i.e., the wave absorber can be a strong sink to control the energy of the incoming wave. In addition, larger wave absorbers correspond to lower reflectance because a larger volume can reduce the incoming wave energy. Therefore, at constant absorber conditions, the reflectance of the wave increases as the wave period increases. Finally, the reflectance of the wave was controlled to be less than 0.1 in this study so that the wave flume can be used to simulate an offshore environment.

최근 우리나라에는 거의 매년 대형 태풍이 내습하였으며 이로 인해 직 간접적으로 많은 피해가 발생하였다. 그러나 태풍의 내습 시 태풍의 외해 진입경로에서 파랑 및 바람자료를 확보한 사례는 매우 드물며 이로 인해 태풍파 모델링의 보정 및 검증자료 확보에 어려움을 겪고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문은 기상청과 한국해양과학기술원에서 2004~2006년에 내습한 태풍 송다, 나비, 산산으로 인한 폭풍파들을 관측한 기록들을 종합하여 제공함으로써 태풍파 수치모델링 관련 연구자들에게 도움이 되도록 하였다. 태풍 나비와 산산의 진행경로가 대한해협보다 동쪽이었음에도 불구하고 거제도 동쪽에 위치한 남형제도에서 유의파고 8.3 m가 관측되었으며, 특히 영일만방파제 전면 1.4 km 지점에서는 두 태풍 모두 기록적인 유의파고 12.2 m가 관측되었다. 한편, 거제도의 해양기상부이와 남형제도의 파향 파고계로 취득된 자료들의 비교 결과 최대파고는 유사하였으나 유의파고는 상당한 차이를 나타냈다.

협수로로 연결된 속초항과 청초호의 장주기파 공진을 검토하기 위하여 항내·외 8개 정점에서 파향·파고계, 초음파식 파고계, 수압식 파고계, 유속계 등을 이용하여 장·단주기파 현장관측을 실시하였다 자료 분석 결과 속초항과 청초호의 Helmholtz 공진 모드의 주기는 각각 13.6분과 54.5분으로 제시되었으며, 협수로 내 주된 유속의 출현 주기는 55.2분으로 청초호의 Helmholtz 공진 조건에 지배됨을 알 수 있었다. 저중력파로 인한 국부 부진동의 에너지 수준은 평상시보다 폭풍시에 훨씬 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 항내·외 정점에서의 저중력파 파고와 항외의 단주기파고에 대한 회귀분석 결과 양자는 거의 선형적인 상관 관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 양자의 주기들, 단주기 파향과 저중력파 파고, 단주기 파고와 저중력파 주기 사이에는 특별한 상관 관계를 발견하지 못하였다. 한편, 향후 장기간 자료가 축적되면 속초항 해역에서의 저중력파 파고에 대한 극치 해석을 통하여 재현빈도별 저중력파 파고를 추정할 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.

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.

Breakwaters are the coastal structures constructed either perpendicular (shore connected) or parallel (detached) to the coast. The main function of breakwater is to create a tranquil medium on its leeside by reflecting the waves and also dissipating the wave energy arriving from seaside, resulting in ease of manoeuvrability to boats or ships to their berthing places. Different types of breakwaters are being used at present, such as rubble mound breakwater, vertical wall type breakwater and composite breakwater. The objective of this paper is to investigate reflection coefficients (Kr) and dissipation (loss) coefficients (Kl) for physical models of Quarter circle caisson breakwater of three different radii of 0.550 m, 0.575 m and 0.600 m with S/D ratio of 2.5 (S=spacing between perforations, D=diameter of perforations). The models were tested in the monochromatic wave flume of the department, for different incident wave heights (Hi), Wave periods (T) and water depths (d). It was observed that reflection coefficient increased with increase in the wave steepness (Hi/gT2) and decreased with increase in depth parameter (d/gT2) and hs/d (Height of structure including rubble base/depth of water). The loss coefficient decreased with increase in the wave steepness and increased with increase in depth parameter and hs/d.
