Abstract

Large-scale earthquakes are occurring globally, especially in the South Asian crust, which is experiencing a state of tension in the aftermath of the 2011 East Japan Earthquake. Uncertainty and fear regarding the possibility of further seismic activity in the near future have been on the rise in the region. The National Disaster Management Research Institute has previously studied and analyzed the overflow characteristics of a tsunami and the rate of flood forecasting through tsunami numerical simulations of the East Sea of South Korea. However, there is currently a significant lack of research on the Southern Coast tsunamis compared to the East Coast. On the Southern Coast, the tidal difference is between 1~4 m, and the impact of the tides is hard to ignore. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the impact of the tide propagation characteristics on the tsunami. Occurrence regions that may cradle tsunamis that affect the southern coast region are the Ryukyu Island and Nankai Trough, which are active seafloor fault zones. The Southern Coast has not experienced direct damage from tsunamis before, but since the possibility is always present, further research is required to prepare precautionary measures in the face of a potential event. Therefore, this study numerically simulated a hypothetical tsunami scenario that could impact the southern coast of South Korea. In addition, the tidal wave propagation characteristics that emerge at the shore due to tide and tsunami interactions will be analyzed. This study will be used to prepare for tsunamis that might occur on the southern coast through tsunami hazard and risk analysis.

전 세계적으로 대규모 지진이 다발적으로 발생하고 있다. 특히, 2011년 동일본 대지진으로 인해 동아시아 일대의 지각이 긴장상태에 있으며, 향후 발생할 수 있는 지진 활동에 대한 우려와 불확실성이 더욱 가중되고 있다. 동해안 지진해일에 대한 대책으로 국립재난안전연구원에서는 동해안을 대상으로 지진해일 수치모의를 통해 지진해일의 범람 특성 분석 및 침수예상도 작성에 관한 연구를 수행한 바 있다. 그러나 남해안의 경우 동해안에 비해 지진해일에 관한 연구가 매우 부족한 실정이다. 남해안의 경우 조차가 1~4 m로 조석의 영향을 무시할 수 없을 정도이기 때문에 조석의 영향이 지진해일 전파특성에 미치는 영향을 분석할 필요성이 있다. 남해안에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 지진해일 발생지는 해저의 단층운동이 활발한 유구열도(Ryukyu lsland)와 난카이트러프 단층대이다. 과거 남해안은 지진해일의 직접적인 피해가 없었으나, 지진해일 발생 가능성은 항시 존재하기 때문에 사전에 대비할 수 있는 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 남해안에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 지진해일 가상시나리오에 대한 지진해일 수치모의를 하였다. 아울러 조석과 지진해일의 상호작용으로 연안에서 나타나는 해일 전파특성을 분석하고자 한다. 이는 남해안 지진해일 위험성 평가를 통해 남해안에서 발생할 수 있는 지진해일 대비에 활용될 것으로 판단된다.
