Recently, the imaging of geological structures beneath water-covered areas has been in great demand because of numerous tunnel and bridge construction projects on river or lake sites. An electrical resistivity survey can be effective in such a situation because it provides a subsurface image of faults or weak zones beneath the water layer. Even though conventional resistivity surveys in water-covered areas, in which electrodes are installed on the water bottom, do give high-resolution subsurface images, much time and effort is required to install electrodes. Therefore, an easier and more convenient method is sought to find the strike direction of the main zones of weakness, especially for reconnaissance surveys. In this paper, we investigate the applicability of the streamer resistivity survey method, which uses electrodes in a streamer cable towed by ship or boat, for delineating a fault zone. We do this through numerical experiments with models of water-covered areas. We demonstrate that the fault zone can be imaged, not only by installing electrodes on the water bottom, but also by using floating electrodes, when the depth of water is less than twice the electrode spacing. In addition, we compare the signal-to-noise ratio and resolving power of four kinds of electrode arrays that can be adapted to the streamer resistivity method. Following this numerical study, we carried out both conventional and streamer resistivity surveys for the planned tunnel construction site located at the Han River in Seoul, Korea. To obtain high-resolution resistivity images we used the conventional method, and installed electrodes on the water bottom along the planned route of the tunnel beneath the river. Applying a two-dimensional inversion scheme to the measured data, we found three distinctive low-resistivity anomalies, which we interpreted as associated with fault zones. To determine the strike direction of these three fault zones, we used the quick and convenient streamer resistivity.

Distributed Models have relative weak points due to the amount of computer memory and calculation time required for calculating water flow using a numerical analysis based on kinematic wave theory when compared to the conceptual models used so far. Typically, the distributed models have been mainly applied to small basins. It was necessary to decrease the resolution of the grid to make it applicable for large scale watersheds, and because it would take up too much time to calculate using a higher resolution. That has been one of the more difficult factors in applying the model for actual work. In this paper, MPI (Message Passing Interface) technique was applied to solve the problem of calculation time as it is one of the demerits of the distributed model for performing physical and complicated numerical calculations for large scale watersheds. The comparison studies were performed a single domain and a divided small domain in Yongdam Dam watershed in case of typoon 'Ewiniar' at 2006. They were compared to analyze the application effects of parallelization technique. As a result, a maximum of 10 times the amount of calculation time was saved but keeping the level of quality for discharge by using parallelization code rather than a single processor.

In order to predict the seabed topography change due to the construction of offshore wind power structures in the west-southern sea of Korea, field observations for tides, tidal currents, suspended sediment concentrations and seabed sediments were carried out at the same time. These data could be used for numerical simulation. In numerical experiments, the empirical constants for the suspended sediment flux were determined by the trial and error method. When a concentration distribution factor was 0.1 and a proportional constant was 0.05 in the suspended sediment equilibrium concentration formulae, the calculated suspended sediment concentrations were reasonably similar with the observed ones. Also, it was appropriate for the open boundary conditions of the suspended sediment when the south-east boundary corner was 11.0 times, the south-west was 0.5 times, the westnorth 1.0 times, the north-west was 1.0 times and the north-east was 1.0 times, respectively, using the time series of the observed suspended sediment concentrations. In this case, the depth change was smooth and not intermittent around the open boundaries. From these calibrations, the annual water depth change before and after construction of the offshore wind power structures was shown under 1 cm. The reason was that the used numerical model for the large scale grid could not reproduce a local scour phenomenon and they showed almost no significant velocity change over ± 2 cm/s because the jacket structures with small size diameter, about 1 m, were a water-permeable. Therefore, it was natural that there was a slight change on seabed topography in the study area.

An experimental and analytical study was performed to apply the friction pendulum system (FPS) to the main control room of a nuclear power plant. A friction pendulum bearing was fabricated, and the dynamic response of the bearing was evaluated. A partial model of a main control room attached to the FPS was tested on the shake table. The model consisted of a cabinet, a $3m\times3m$ access floor, and four friction pendulum bearings. The artificial time history based on the floor response spectrum of the main control room was used as the earthquake input signal in the test. Comparisons between the analytical study and the experimental study were conducted to verify the results and to extend the experimental study to the range of parameters that could not be experimentally studied.

The aim of this study is to survey the effects of laying drainage layer in sandy beach on beach stabilization. At first, the numerical model developed by Hur and Lee (2007), which is able to consider the flow through a porous medium with inertia, laminar and turbulent resistance terms, i.e. simulate directly WAve Structure Seabed/Sandy beach interaction and can determine the eddy viscosity with LES turbulent model in 3-D wave field (LES-WASS-3D), is validated by comparing with existing experimental data. And then, numerical simulation is carried out to examine the characteristics of wave-sandy beach interaction for a beach with/without drainage layer. From the numerical results, it is shown that mean ground-water level around a foreshore decreases and offshore-ward flow over a seabed reduces in case of a beach with drainage layer. Moreover, the effects of cross profile of drainage layer and incident wave condition on mean ground-water level around a foreshore are also discussed as well the distribution of wave setup around the foreshore.

호우로 인해 도시지역에 발생하는 홍수의 대표적인 특성은 도로와 저지대의 내수침수라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 침수현상을 모의하고 예측하기 위해서는 일반적으로 도시유출해석 모형과 연계된 2차원 침수해석 모형을 활용한다. 다만, 이러한 물리적, 수치해석 도구들은 공간적인 해상도가 높고, 대상영역이 넓을수록 많은 연산시간이 소요되므로 집중호우와 같이 단시간에 많은 비가 발생하는 경우 홍수예보에 활용하는데 한계가 있다. 따라서 시나리오 기반의 침수위험 정보를 사전에 정의하나, 위험기준을 정의하는 방법에 따라 위험지역과 위험도가 달라질 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 시공간적으로 상세한 침수 예상 정보를 빠르고, 정확하게 제공하기 위해서 침수시나리오 기반의 침수위험 예보 기준 지도를 작성하고, 기준 지도 작성 시 위험기준 요소의 정의를 다양하게 적용하여 서울시의 침수위험 지역과 위험도의 변화를 분석하고자 한다. 여기서 침수시나리오는 76개 강우 시나리오와 SWMM모형, 2차원 침수해석모형(GIAM)을 활용하여 생산한 결과를 활용하였다. 생산된 침수시나리오는 6m 시공간 해상도를 갖지만, 예측강우를 활용한 돌발홍수예보 프로토타입의 기준 격자망을 고려하여 500m 해상도로 변환하여 분석에 활용한다. 본 연구에서는 침수위험의 유무, 위험 정도를 분류하는 위험기준을 영역 내 최대침수심, 평균침수심, 침수면적 비율 등으로 다양화하고, 각 위험기준 요소별 침수위험 예보 기준 지도를 작성한다. 또한, 실제 침수발생 사례에 작성한 침수위험 예보 기준 지도를 적용하여, 침수위험 지역과 위험도를 가장 적합하게 구현한 위험기준을 찾고자 한다.

최근 기존의 격자방식의 해석 방법을 벗어나 해석 영역에 대한 분할을 별도로 고려치 않는 수치기법의 실무적 적용사례가 증가 하고 있으며, 이러한 방식중 SPH(Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) 방식이 근자에 수자원 분야에서도 도입되어 관수로 및 개수로 해석 또는 복합해석 등에 활용된 바 있다. 최초 도입된 무격자방식의 모형들은 주로 복잡한 형상을 지니는 유체기계 등에 활용성이 높았던 바, 큰 규모의 해석 도메인을 가지는 수자원 분야에서의 SPH의 실무적용 평가와 효율성의 확보를 위해서, 본 연구는 국내 댐을 시범 대상으로 하여 SPH 수치해석 툴을 적용하고자 하였다. 분석 대상댐은 국내 P댐으로서 관리수위의 변동은 크지 않으나, 댐 직상류의 만곡이 심하고 다수의 대규모 취수구를 가진 곳으로 상시 발전방류 및 수시 댐 수문방류에 의해 유체의 흐름이 2,3차원의 복잡성을 띄고있기 때문에, 3차원 전산유체역학 Tool의 적용이 적절한 것으로 판단하였다. 해석을 위해 하류경계조건을 댐축과 문비로 설정하였고 상류 1km까지를 해석의 도메인으로 설정하였다. 소요시간을 줄이기 위해 여러 번의 모의를 거쳐 입자의 평균 입경은 0.6m로 제안하고 시격은 1초 미만(평균 0.5초)로 설정하였다. 수문 및 발전방류는 해당댐의 1~2년 빈도 수준에 해당하는 $5,000m^3/s$ 이하의 유량을 기준으로 하여 모의를 수행하였다. 모의의 안정성을 확보한 이후에는 해당 댐지역의 하류영향을 고려한 문비제어를 반영한 다양한 방식의 수문운영 및 취수지점의 순간 수위 영향을 검토하였다. 그 결과로 본 모의에서는 특정한 수문의 운영 조건에서는 댐수위 계측지점과 인근 취수지점 간에도 0.2m 수준의 순간 수위차가 발생할 수 있음을 보였으며, 이는 경우에 따라 취수시설의 일시적 장애요소로 발생할 수 있음을 의미한다. 따라서, 현재의 취수구조물과 문비운영 특성에 따라 발생가능한 취수장애를 줄일 수 있는 운영조건의 탐색을 위해서 수치모의를 추가로 하였으며, 이 때 댐축 상류의 유속분포에 대한 추가 검토도 수행하였다. 다만, 댐에서 방류시 하류조건에 대한 검토는 추후 보강되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, we carry out the numerical simulation to trace the yearly shoreline change of Mang-Bang beach, which is suffering from erosion problem. We obtain the basic equation (One Line Model for shoreline) for the numerical simulation by assuming that the amount of shoreline retreat or advance is balanced by the net influx of longshore and cross-shore sediment into the unit discretized shoreline segment. In doing so, the energy flux model for the longshore sediment transport rate is also evoked. For the case of cross sediment transport, the modified Bailard's model (1981) by Cho and Kim (2019) is utilized. At each time step of the numerical simulation, we adjust a closure depth according to pertinent wave conditions based on the Hallermeier's analytical model (1978) having its roots on the Shield's parameter. Numerical results show that from 2017.4.26 to 2017.10.15 during which swells are prevailing, a shoreline advances due to the sustained supply of cross-shore sediment. It is also shown that a shoreline temporarily retreats due to the erosion by the yearly highest waves sequentially occurring from mid-October to the end of October, and is followed by gradual recovery of shoreline as high waves subdue and swells prevail. It is worth mentioning that great yearly circulation of shoreline completes when a shoreline retreats due to the erosion by the higher waves occurring from mid-March to the end of March. The great yearly circulation of shoreline mentioned above can also be found in the measured locations of shoreline on 2017.4.5, 2017.9.7, 2017.11.7, 2018.3.14. However, numerically simulated amount of shoreline retreat or advance is more significant than the physically measured one, and it should be noted that these discrepancies become more substantial for the case of RUN II where a closure depth is sustained to be as in the most morphology models like the Genesis (Hanson and Kraus, 1989).

Volcanic eruptions alone may lead to serious natural disasters, but the associated release of water from a caldera lake may be equally damaging. There is both historical and geological evidence of the past eruptions of Mt. Baekdusan, and the volcano, which has not erupted for over 100 years, has recently shown signs of reawakening. Action is required if we are to limit the social, political, cultural, and economic damage of any future eruption. This study aims to identify the area that would be inundated following a volcanic flood from the Cheon-Ji caldera lake that lies within Mt. Baekdusan. A scenario-based numerical analysis was performed to generate a flood hydrograph, and the parameters required were selected following a consideration of historical records from other volcanoes. The amount of water at the outer rim as a function of time was used as an upper boundary condition for the downstream routing process for a period of 10 days. Data from the USGS were used to generate a DEM with a resolution of 100 m, and remotely sensed satellite data from the moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) were used to show land cover and use. The simulation was generated using the software FLO-2D and was superposed on the remotely sensed map. The results show that the inundation area would cover about 80% of the urban area near Erdaobaihezhen assuming a 10 m/hr collapse rate, and 98% of the area would be flooded assuming a 100 m/hr collapse rate.

A modeling system for three-dimensional flow (FEMOS) has been developed and applied to simulate the tidal currents of Asan Bay. The system can consider tidal flats changing with time and uses a finite element method that can adapt coastline change effectively. The simulation results for Asan Bay with large tidal flats, shallow water depth and high tidal range showed good agreements with the observed currents of long-term variations at the medium layer and short-term variations of vertical profiles. Based on the simulated tidal currents, the horizontal distributions of bottom shear stress were calculated and showed close relation with the change of bottom topography. The system can be used widely to study coastal circulation in the coastal region with complex geography.
