Abstract

Accurate prediction of wave-structure interactions is important in the safety and design cost effectiveness of fixed and floating offshore structures exposed to extreme environmental conditions. In this study, regular waves and circular column structure interactions for four circular columns in regular waves are analyzed. To simulate 3D two-phase flow, open source computational fluid dynamics libraries, called OpenFOAM, were used. When the four circular columns are arranged in a square array, the interactions according to the incident slopes of the regular waves are analyzed. The wave run-up in the circular column surface was compared according to the slope of the incident wave. It was confirmed that high amplitude waves are generated between the circular columns due to the interaction between the circular column and the incident wave. It is expected that this analytical result will be used as the basic data of the study on the air gap due to the interaction between the structure and incident wave.

해양환경의 극한 환경조건에 노출 된 고정식 및 부유식 해양구조물의 안전성과 설계비용 효율성에 있어서 파랑-구조물 상호작용의 정확한 예측은 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 규칙파 중 원형 기둥에 대한 파랑-구조물 상호작용을 해석하였다. 3차원 이상유동(two-phase flow)을 해석하기 위해 오픈소스 전산유체역학 라이브러리인 오픈폼을 사용하였다. 4개의 원형기둥이 정사각형 배열을 이루고 있을 때 규칙파의 입사각도에 따른 상호작용을 해석하였다. 원형 기둥 구조물에서의 wave run-up을 입사파의 기울기에 따라 비교하였다. 원형 기둥과 입사파의 상호작용으로 인해 원형 기둥 사이에 높은 파가 생성되는 것을 확인하였다. 본 해석 결과는 구조물과 입사파의 상호작용에 의한 air gap에 대한 연구의 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
