Abstract

To investigate the characteristics of rip current occurring at Haeundae beach, observations obtained from a buoy and a CCTV were analyzed and numerical experiments were conducted. During observed rip-current events, the CCTV images showed that a couple of wave-trains, which are close to regular waves with slightly different directions, propagated to the beach, and wavelet analyses of data from the buoy showed very narrow-banded spectra with a peak frequency. From the evidences, it was inferred that a known mechanism of generating rip current due to the nodal line area of honeycomb-patterned wave crest was one of the significant factors of rip current occurrences of Haeundae beach. The mechanism has been explained by the following: When two wave-trains with slightly different directions propagate to a beach, wave crests of the incident wave-trains form honeycomb pattern due to nonlinear interaction. The nodal lines of honeycomb pattern are developed in the cross-shore direction. And longshore currents flow toward the nodal line area which has very low wave energy. Consequently their mass flux is expelled through the area toward the sea direction. To confirm the generation, numerical experiments were performed using a nonlinear Boussinesq equation model. In the cases with two incident wave-trains with slightly different directions and with a monochromatic wave propagating over a submerged shoal, it was seen that the honeycomb pattern of wave crests was well developed, and thus rip currents were evolved along the nodal lines.

국립해양조사원의 해운대 부이로 부터 관측된 자료와 CCTV 영상자료를 분석하고 수치실험을 수행하여 해운대 해변에서 발생하는 이안류의 특성을 연구하였다. CCTV 영상자료를 분석한 결과로 부터 이안류가 발생할 때 규칙파에 가깝고 진행방향이 약간 다른 파랑이 중첩되어 입사되고 있는 것을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 부이 관측자료의 웨이브릿 분석으로부터 한 주기에 파랑에너지가 집중된 협대역 스펙트럼을 확인할 수 있었다. 이로부터 이미 알려진 이안류 발생 메커니즘가운데 하나인 벌집구조의 절점선 영역을 통한 이안류의 발생이 해운대 이안류의 주요한 발생 메커니즘임을 추론할 수 있었다. 이러한 이안류 발생 메커니즘은 다음과 같이 설명할 수 있다. 진행방향이 약간 다른 규칙파가 해안으로 전파될 때 서로 중첩되어 비선형 상호작용으로 파봉선이 벌집구조 형상으로 변형된다. 여기서, 파고가 영(zero)인 절점선이 해안선에서 외해방향으로 발달하게 된다. 파고가 상대적으로 작은 이 절점선 영역을 향하여 연안류의 질량수송이 집중되며 일시에 외해로 이안류를 발생시키게 된다. 벌집구조 파봉형상 입사파에 의한 이안류 발생을 재현하기 위해 완전 비선형 Boussinesq 방정식 모형을 이용해 수치모의를 수행하였다. 이 수치모의로부터 진행방향이 서로 다르므로, 그리고 일방향 파랑이 수중천퇴에 의하여 변형되므로 발생된 벌집구조 현상에 의하여 이안류가 잘 발생함을 확인하였다.
