A Study on the Wave Generating Characteristics of the Multi-directional Irregular Wave Basin

다방향불규칙파 조파장치를 이용하여 평면수조내의 발생파의 특성과 목표스펙트럼의 재현성 및 대표파의 통계적인 안정과 선형적인 관계를 검토하여 유효조파영역 및 모형구조물의 설치대상 영역을 검정하였다. 주요한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 다방향불규칙파에 의한 발생파의 특성과 목표스펙트럼의 재현성은 양호한 결과를 얻었으며, 이들 결과로부터 유효조파영역 및 대표적인 파랑의 재현성이 높은 영역을 설정할 수 있었다. 유효조파영역에서 얻어진 관측자료인 대표파는 통계적으로 안정하였으며, spectrum peakedness parameter $Q_p$와 평균 run-length, $Q_p$와 $U_r$로서 대표파의 선형적인 관계를 나타낼 수 있었다.

It is of great importance to represent the directional ocean waves in a laboratory basin for hydraulic model tests. The directional ocean waves can be expressed as a linear superposition of a large number of component waves with different frequencies and propagating directions. The aim of the study is to check the wave generating characteristics by serpent-type wave generating system in PKNU (Pukyong National University) which is composed of 10 piston-type wave generators. In the experiment, spatial variation of irregular wave heights and propagating angles are measured in the multi-directional wave maker basin. Target wave directional spectrum is reproduced in the area of multi-directional wave maker basin. The directional spreading of the generated waves varied spacially in the basin. They differed from target spectrum as the measurement point becomes far from the center line normal to the generator face, The effective generation area where that target can be reproduced is limited to the triangular area attached the generator face. According to the results, it is emphasized that the effective experiment area in the basin considered wave generator characteristics should be determined in consideration of experimental conditions including structural shapes, water depth, wave directionality etc.
