Abstract

The floating body discussed in this study is a 2-D rectangular floating unit supported by four vertical piles at its corners. Structures of this type are frequently seen as floating piers for the crafts in a small harbour. The movement in some modes of motion of such a flating body is fully or partially restrincted by the piles. The authors(Kim et al. 1994) carried out a series of model tests on its wave control function, its motion and the loads on piles. The experimental results showed that a certain degree of intial constriction force which clamps the floating unit in the horizontal direction can effectively reduce the body motion and wave energy without increasing mooring forces. This may be due to the friction forces occuring between the piles and the rollers installed in the mooring equipments on the floating unit. In this paper, we develop a numerical model for the prediction of wave transformation and floating body motions, where the friction force is idealized as the Coulomb friction and linearized into a damping force using the equivalent damping cofficient. This linearization is verified by comparing the results of motions between the linear and nonlinear analysis of the ezuations of motion. We further compare the caculation results by the linear model with the experimental results and discuss the effect of the friction force or the constriction force on body motions and wave energy dissipation.

본 연구는 부유식 파랑제어구조물의 계류방식을 말뚝계류식으로 하여 종래의 부유식 파랑제어구조물의 파랑제어기능을 보완하고, 친수성 구조물로 이용할 수 있는 다용도 구조물의 개발을 목표로 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 부유체의 계류장치에 초기반력을 작용시킴으로써 발생하는 파랑제어 효과의 개선과 부유체의 동요제어 효과를 수치계산법을 통하여 논의하였다. 이 때 계류부에서 발생하는 비선형 마찰력을 선형모델화하는 이론을 전개한 다음 수치계산 및 실험값을 통하여 본 수치모델의 적용성에 관하여 논의한 결과 양호한 일치성을 보였다. 또한, 파랑제어 효과 및 부유체의 동요저감 효과를 동시에 만족할 수 있는 초기반력에 관하여 논의하였다.
