  • In this paper, an integrated model for the wave (current)-induced seabed response is presented. The present model consists of two parts: hydrodynamic model for wave-current interactions and poro-elastic seabed model for pore accumulations. In the wave-current model, based on the fifth-order wave theory, ocean waves were generated by adding a source function into the mass conservation equation. Then, currents were simulated through imposing a steady inlet velocity on one domain and pressure outlet on the other side. In addition, both of the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokers (RANS) Equations and $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model would be applied in the fluid field. Once the wave pressures on the seabed calculated through the wave-current interaction model, it would be applied to be boundary conditions on the seabed model. In the seabed model, the poro-elastic theory would be imposed to simulate the seabed soil response. After comparing with the experimental data, the effect of currents on the seabed response would be examined by emphasize on the residual mechanisms of the pore pressure inside the soil. The build-up of the pore water pressure and the resulted liquefaction phenomenon will be fully investigated. A parametric study will also be conducted to examine the effects of waves and currents as well as soil properties on the pore pressure accumulation.

  • A shallow channel between Jeju and Udo Islands, which is located in the northeastern Jeju Island, is influenced by storm- or typhoon-induced currents and surface waves as well as strong tidal currents. This study examines the typhoon-induced current and wave patterns in the channel, using Acoustic Doppler Current Meter (ADCP) measurements and an ocean-wave coupled modeling experiment. Three typhoons were chosen - Chaba (2016), Soulik (2018), and Lingling (2019) - to investigate the responses of currents and waves in their pathways. During the pre-typhoon periods, dominant northward flow and wave propagation were observed in the channel due to the southeasterly winds before the three typhoons. After the passage of Chaba, which passed over the eastern side of Jeju Island, the northward flow and wave propagation were totally reversed to the opposite direction, which was attributed to the strong northerly winds on the left side of the typhoon. In contrast, in the cases of Soulik and Lingling, which passed over the western side of Jeju Island, strong southerly winds on the right side of the typhoons continuously intensified the northward current and wave propagation in the channel. The model-simulated current and wave fields reasonably coincided with observational data, showing southward/northward flow and wave propagation in response to the right/left side of the typhoon pathways. Typhoon-induced downwind flows, and surface waves could enhance up to 2m/s and 3m due to the strong winds that lasted for more than 12 hours. This suggests that the flow and wave patterns in the Udo channel are highly sensitive to the pathway of typhoons and accompanying winds; thus, this may be a crucial factor with regard to the movement of seabed sediments and subsequent coastal erosion.

  • 가용한 토지의 부족으로 현재 우리나라 인공운하에서 흔히 관측되는 협수로에서는 고립파 형태의 항주파가 생성되는 것으로 추정된다. 본고에서는 이러한 가설을 확인하기 위해 수치모의를 수행하였다. 수치모의는 삼차원 Navier Stokes 식과 VOF에 기초하여 수행되었으며, 수치모형의 검증은 현재 우리에게 가용한 운하 설계기준 중 가장 빈번히 언급되는 PIANC (1987) 설계안과 본고에서 유도된 해석해에 기초하여 수행되었다. 모의결과, 고립파형태의 항주파가 관측되었으며, 하안 인근에서 계측된 선수파 파고의 경우 수치모의 결과는 PIANC (1987) 설계안을 상회하였으며 상당히 오랜 기간 (이십초 내외) 지속되었다. 선미파의 경우는 하회하였다. 이러한 결과는 광역수로에서 관측되는 항주파의 일반적인 특성과는 상이한 것으로 좁은 수로 폭이 항주파 특성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 선박의 협수로 통과시 선박을 중심으로 양안으로 진행되는 흐름과, 반사로 인해 양안에서 선박으로 진행되는 흐름이 교대로 출현하였으며 이 때 최대 0.90 m/s의 유속이 전 수심대역에서 비교적 균일하게 유지되어, 상당한 쇄굴이 진행될 수 있다고 판단된다.

  • This paper provides a practical stochastic method by which the maximum equilibrium scour depth around a vertical pile exposed to random waves plus a current on mild slopes can be derived. The approach is based on assuming the waves to be a stationary narrow-band random process, adopting the Battjes and Groenendijk (2000) wave height distribution for mild slopes including the effect of breaking waves, and using the empirical formulas for the scour depth on the horizontal seabed by Sumer and Fredsøe (2002). The present approach is valid for wave-dominant flow conditions. Results for random waves alone and random wave plus currents have been presented and discussed by varying the seabed slope and water depth. An approximate method is also proposed, and comparisons are made with the present stochastic method. For random waves alone it appears that the approximate method can replace the stochastic method, whereas the stochastic method is required for random waves plus currents. Tentative approaches to related random wave-induced scour cases on mild slopes are also suggested.

  • Even though submerged breakwater reduces incident wave energy, it redistributes the coastal area's wave-induced current, sediment transport, and morphological change. This study examines the coastal hydrodynamics and the morphological response of a wave-dominated beach with submerged breakwaters installed through field observation and quasi-3D numerical modeling. The pre-and post-storm bathymetry, water level, and offshore wave under storm forcing were collected in Bongpo Beach on the East coast of Korea and used to analyze the coastal hydrodynamic response. Four vertically equidistant layers were used in the numerical simulation, and the wave-induced current was examined using quasi-3D numerical modeling. The shore normal incident wave (east-northeast) generated strong cross-shore and longshore currents toward the hinterland of the submerged breakwater. However, the oblique incident wave (east-southeast) induced the southeastward longshore current and the sedimentation in the northeast area of the beach. The results suggested that the incident wave direction is a significant factor in determining the current and sediment transport patterns in the presence of the submerged breakwaters. Moreover, the quasi-3D numerical modeling is more appropriate for estimating the wave transformation, current, and sediment transport pattern in the coastal area with the submerged breakwater.

  • This paper focuses on the rigorous and holistic fatigue analysis of mooring chains for a deep draft semi-submersible platform in the challenging environment of the central Gulf of Mexico (GoM). Known for severe hurricanes and strong loop/eddy currents, this region significantly impacts offshore structures and their mooring systems, necessitating robust designs capable of withstanding extreme wind, wave and current conditions. Wave scatter and current bin diagrams are utilized to assess the probabilistic distribution of waves and currents, crucial for calculating mooring chain fatigue. The study evaluates the effects of Vortex Induced Motion (VIM), Out-of-Plane-Bending (OPB), and In-Plane-Bending (IPB) on mooring fatigue, alongside extreme single events such as 100-year hurricanes and loop/eddy currents including ramp-up and ramp-down phases, to ensure resilient mooring design. A detailed case study of a deep draft semi-submersible platform with 16 semi-taut moorings in 2,500 meters of water depth in the central GoM provides insights into the relative contributions of wave scatter diagram, VIMs from current bin diagram, the combined stresses of OPB/IPB/TT and extreme single events. By comparing these factors, the study aims to enhance understanding and optimize mooring system design for safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness in offshore operations within the central GoM. The paper addresses a research gap by proposing a holistic approach that integrates findings from various contributions to advance current practices in mooring design. It presents a comprehensive framework for fatigue analysis and design optimization of mooring systems in the central GoM, emphasizing the critical importance of considering environmental conditions, OPB/IPB moments, and extreme single events to ensure the safety and reliability of mooring systems for offshore platforms.

  • 동해안에 위치한 대부분의 중소어항의 표사이동에는 파랑과 해빈류가 주외력으로 작용하여 있으며, 주변은 사빈해안을 이루고 있다. 또한, 대부분이 소규모 어항이므로 항 입구부가 쇄파대 내에 위치하고 있어서 지형변화가 극심하며, 항 입구부 및 항내에 심각한 매몰현상이 발생되고 있다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 우선, 사전예측 및 항내매몰 현상의 정확한 재현을 통해 그 원인을 파악할 필요가 있다. 또한, 경제적인 측면을 고려하여 중소어항에 실질적으로 사용될 수 있는 매몰방지 대책안을 도출하고, 그에 대한 방지효과를 수치시뮬레이션을 통해 검토하고자 한다.

  • 수중 천퇴 인근에 해양구조물을 설치하는 경우, 구조물에 작용하는 설계하중을 구하기 위하여 파고뿐만 아니라 천퇴 주변 파랑변형에 의하여 이차적으로 발생된 파랑류를 아울러 고려하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 천퇴 주변의 파랑변형과 파랑류를 계산하기 위하여 비선형 Boussinesq방정식 모델과 선형 완경사방정식 모델을 각각 적용하였다. 대상 천퇴는 Vincent and Briggs(1989)의 수리실험에서와 동일하며 실험조건은 규칙파, 일방향 또는 다방향 불규칙파 입사를 포함하는 비쇄파조건으로 하였다. 두 수치모델은 공히 천퇴 중심선을 따라 파랑류가 대칭적으로 형성됨을 잘 보여주었다. 그리고 수리실험에서의 파고계측선을 따라 계산된 파고변화는 전체적으로 실험 결과와 잘 일치하였다.
