Abstract

Recently the modified mild-slope equation has been developed by several researchers using different approaches, which, compared to the Berkhoff's mild-slope equation, includes additional terms proportional to the square of bottom slope and to the bottom curvature. By examining this equation, it is shown that both terms are equally important in intermediate-depth water, but in shallow water the influence of the bottom curvature term diminishes while that of the bottom slope square term remains significant. In order to examine the importance of these terms in more detail, the modified mild-slope equation and the Berkhoff's mild-slope equation are tested for the problems of wave reflection from a plane slope, a non-plane slope, and periodic ripples. It is shown that, when only the bottom slope is concerned, the mild-slope equation can give accurate results up to a slope of 1 in 1 rather than 1 in 3, which, until now, has been known as the limiting bottom slope for its proper application. It is also shown that the bottom curvature term plays an important role in modeling wave propagation over a bottom topography with relatively mild variation, but, where the bottom slope is not small, the bottom slope square term should also be included for more accurate results.

최근 몇몇 연구자들이 서로 다른 방법을 이용하여 수정 완경사방정식을 개발하였는데, 이는, Berkhoff 의 완경사방정석과 비교해 볼 때, 바닥 경사의 제곱 및 바닥 곡율에 비례하는 항들을 추가로 포함하고 있다. 이 식을 검토한 결과, 천이해역에서는 두 항들이 다같이 중요하지만, 천해에서는 바닥 경사 제곱항의 영향은 중요한 반면 바닥 곡률항의 영향은 작아짐을 보였다. 이 항들의 중요성을 좀더 면밀히 검토하기 위하여, 일정 사면, 비일정사면 및 주기성을 갖는 물결진 바닥으로부터의 파의 반사 문제에 대하여 수정 완경사방정식과 Berkhoff의 완경사방정식을 적용하였다. 바닥 경사만을 생각할 때, 완경사방정식이 지금까지 그 적용 한계로 알려져 왔던 1:3보다 더급한 1:1의 경사까지 정확한 결과를 나타냄을 보였다. 또한, 비교적 변화가 적은 해저면 위에서의 파의 전파를 모의할 때는 바닥 곡률항만이 중요한 역할을 하지만, 바닥 경사가 작지 않은 경우에는 보다 정확한 결과를 얻기 위하여 바닥 경사의 제곱항도 포함시켜야 함을 보였다.
