Experimental study for a submerged structure was conducted to protect coastal structures and shorelines. The rectangular submerged structure known as the most efficient shape among various submerged structures in the literature was fabricated at the nose of a rubble mound breakwater. The reflection coefficients and the run-up heights along the slope of a breakwater were measured for different significant wave heights and periods. It is found in this study that the reflection coefficient is affected more relatively by the significant wave period than the significant wave height and the run-up heights are reduced approximately 28% in terms of ${^{RU}}_{2%}$ and 26% in terms of ${^{RU}}_{33%}$, respectively, by the installation of a submerged structure inducing the interception and breaking of waves.

This paper is about the development of the 300W underwater thrusting system driven by a brushless DC motor (BLDC) for underwater robots. A design of the structure such as the structure analysis on the thrusting system using FEM and the design of the propeller using the fluid analysis has been performed. Also, a new structure such as decoupling and non-gear structure has been explained. The performance test of the designed and developed thrusting system in water and in air was undertaken and its results were compared with an existing product with high performance. The comparison results show that the developed thrusting system has better performance by 16% in forward thrusting force and by 12% in backward thrusting force.

Compared to terrestrial RF communications, underwater acoustic communications have several limitations such as limited bandwidth, high level of fading effects, and a large underwater propagation delay. In this paper, in order to tackle those limitations of underwater communications and to make it possible to form a large underwater monitoring systems, we propose a hierarchical underwater network architecture, which consists of underwater sensors, clusterheads, underwater/surface sink nodes, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). In the proposed architecture, for the maximization of packet delivery ratio and the minimization of underwater sensor's energy consumption, a hybrid routing protocol is used. More specifically, cluster members use Tree based routing to transmit sensing data to clusterheads. AUVs on optimal trajectory movements collect the aggregated data from clusterhead and finally forward the data to the sink node. Also, in order to minimize the maximum travel distance of AUVs, an Integer Linear Programming based algorithm is employed. Performance analysis through simulations shows that the proposed architecture can achieve a higher data delivery ratio and lower energy consumption than existing routing schemes such as gradient based routing and geographical forwarding.

Presently many constructions establish in underwater, but approaching to underwater constructions are difficult, for comparing with ground, underwater environment is different in media. Usually measurement methods for underwater constructions are using tapes, using depth gauges, using acoustic positioning systems. But, tapes are hard to measure the correct distance, for applying a right tension is not easy in underwater. Depth gauges have a weakness in settling, for it takes long time to do it. Acoustic positioning systems don't work well in confined spaces and cost a lot. Hence, the purpose of this study is, at first, to understand rays path in multimedia like water, glass and air. The second thing is to perform a camera calibration at the field to compare with the interior orientation parameter. And the third thing is to find out whether photogrammetry is applied for underwater object in using cube for accuracy examination. The last thing is to perform underwater photogrammetry about underwater object, which is pier model and riverbed. We came to the conclusion through this experiment that the applying underwater photogrammerty for underwater constructions and underwater ground is possible.

Radiated noise analysis from a ship structure is a challenging topic owing to difficulties in the accurate calculation of the fluid-structure interaction as well as owing to a massive degree of freedom of the problem. To reduce the severity of the problem, a new fluid-structure interaction formulation is proposed in this paper. The complex frequency-dependent added mass and damping matrices are calculated using the high-order Burton-Miller boundary integral equation formulation to obtain accurate values over all frequency bands. The calculated fluid-structure interaction effects are added to the structural matrices calculated by commercial finite element software, MSC/NASTRAN. Then, the impedance and underwater radiation noise due to an excitation of structure are calculated. The present formulation is applied to a ship to calculate the underwater radiated noise.

이 연구에서는 보령화력발전소 방수로 수중방류구조에 대한 수리모형실험을 수행하여 수중방류구조 내 흐름 양상을 고찰하고, 수평 유공판의 거품저감 효과를 검토하였다. 수중방류구조 내 유속은 설계시 거품의 부상 및 외해 유출 방지를 위해 고려한 목표값 1 m/s 이내에 분포하였다. 또한, 2차 낙하 위치에 수평 유공판을 설치함에 따라 거품 발생량이 크게 감소함을 확인하였다. 그러나, 수평 유공판 설치에 따라서 평균유속은 거의 변화가 없었으며, 다만 외해 조위가 운전정지수위에 해당할 경우에는 수평 유공판 아래에서 연직방향 흐름의 세기가 감소하였다.

In this study hydraulic experiment was carried out to investigate the flow characteristics in the submerged outlet structure of Boryeong power plant and the efficiency of bubble reduction by installing horizontal porous plate in the outlet structure. The cross-sectional mean velocity in the submerged outlet structure was smaller than 1 m/s, the target value at the design stage to prevent bubble outflow to the open sea area. In addition, it was found that the maximum depth of bubble penetration is reduced 30 to 50% by installing the horizontal porous plate at the second falling location in the submerged outlet structure. It is expected that the total bubble amount entrained in the water will be most efficiently reduced by installing square-hole-shape porous plate of 20 cm hole size and making its central section as non-porous structure to dissipate the energy of falling water.

This study introduces a suggested underwater blasting method in contrast with conventional underwater blasting methods which adopt the drilling and charging procedures by divers. A structural underwater charging system makes it possible to drill into underwater bedrock and charge explosives on the deck of barge ship. The applicability and effectiveness of the suggested method was experimentally approved by comparing with a kind of underwater charging system as a conventional underwater blasting method.

본 연구는 수중 강판에 존재하는 결함탐지를 위한 탄성파 유한요소 시뮬레이션이다. 일반적으로 수중 강판은 외부의 물로 인하여 결함의 탐지가 어렵다. 이러한 수중 강판의 결함탐지에는 잠수부가 수중 강판 표면에 비파괴 검사 장비를 활용하여 결함을 탐지하는 경우가 많으며 잠수부의 경험과 많은 시간이 소요되는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 수중강판의 표면이 아닌 수중에서 탄성파를 발생시켰을 경우 수중 강판의 결함탐지 유한요소 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 손상의 위치와 손상의 크기에 따라 발생하는 응답을 알아보았다. 강판의 상하부에 기계적인 손상이 발생한 경우를 손상 시나리오로 가정하고 해석을 수행하였다. 손상이 없는 경우의 응답을 기준으로 강판의 상부와 하부에 기계적인 손상이 있는 경우에 발생하는 응답을 비교하였다. 동적유한요소 프로그램인 ANSYS/LS-DYNA를 사용하여 결함탐지 해석을 수행하였다. 결과적으로 손상의 종류에 따라 응답신호의 진폭 감소가 나타났으며 손상의 크기가 커질수록 진폭 감소가 커지는 결과를 나타내었다.
