초록

사질로 이루어진 평탄한 경계면에서 수평입사각 (25°, 40°, 65°, 80°)에 따른 고주파(40∼120 kHz) 반사손실 측정 실험을 수조 내에서 수행하였다. 5×5×5 m 크기의 수조는 바닥을 두께가 0,5m 이고 평균입도가 0.5 ø인 사질 퇴적물로 채웠으며 퇴적층 경계면은 평탄하게 조성하였다. 측정된 주파수별 수평입사각에 따른 반사손실은 고주파 해저면 반사손실 모델인 APL-UW 모델 (Mourad & Jackson, 1989)과 비교하였다. 60 kHz 이하 주파수의 경우 모델과 실측치가 거의 일치하였으나 70 kHz 이상의 경우에는 주파수가 증가함에 따라 2∼3dB씩 증가하는 결과를 보였다. 70 kHz 이상의 경우 모델과 실측치 간의 차이는 모델에서 다루지 않는 거칠기 (입도)의 수직 크기 때문이며 고주파로 갈수록 산란이론의 레일리 인자 (Rayleigh parameter)의 값이 증가하여 거칠기에 의한 산란효과를 포함하기 때문이다. 따라서 평탄한 해저면일지라도 사질과 수층으로 이루어진 경계면에서의 반사손실모델은 입도분포의 신뢰구간 내에서 갖는 거칠기 영향에 의한 주파수의 종속성을 고려하여야한다.

High-frequency(40∼120 kHz) reflection loss measurements on the water-sandy sediment with a flat interface were conducted in a water tank for various grazing angles. The water tank(5×5×5 m) was filled with a 0.5 m-thick-flat bottom of 0.5ø-mean-grain-size sand. Reflection losses, which were experimentally obtained as a function of grazing angle and frequency, were compared with the forward loss model, APL-UW model (Mourad & Jackson, 1989). For frequencies below 60 kHz, the observed losses well agree with the reflection loss model, however, in cases for frequencies above 70 kHz, the observed losses are greater by 2∼3 dB than the model results. The model calculation, which does not fully account for the vertical scale of roughness due to grain size, produce less bottom losses compared to the observations that correspond to large roughness based on the Rayleigh parameter in the wave scattering theory. In conclusion, for the same grain-size-sediment, as frequencies increase, the grainsize becomes the scale of roughness that could be very large for the frequencies above 70 kHz. Therefore, although the sea bottom was flat, we have to consider the frequency dependence of an effect of roughness within confidential interval of grain size distribution in reflection loss model.
