연안 및 해안공학의 발달과 더불어 부유식방파제의 기능적 효율성이 중요시 되고 있다. 흔히 사용되어오던 착저식방파제는 설치에 많은 시간과 경비가 소요되고 환경 및 생태계에 많은 변화를 줄 수 있으며, 설치 예정지의 수리학적 특성 등의 여건에 많은 제약을 받는 단점이 있다. 부유식방파제는 일본 등의 선진국을 중심으로 활용이 잦아지고 있는 방파제로서 수면 위에 설치되기 때문에 수중 생태계에 미치는 영향이 적은 친환경방파제이다. 또한 기존에 시공된 중력식방파제와는 달리 수심에 제한을 덜 받고, 공사기간이 짧기 때문에 경제적이다. 실제 시공사례로는 2007년 마산 원전항에 완공된 부유식방파제가 대표적이며, 지금까지도 부유식방파제에 대한 여러 연구자들의 관심이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 방파제뿐만 아니라 우리나라처럼 국토의 면적이 작은 지역에서 증가하는 해상물동량을 소화하기 위해서 부유식방파제 등을 이용한 항만의 시공이 필요한 실정이다. 이러한 부유식방파제의 분석적인 측면에 있어서 수치해석은 파랑과 구조물의 상호작용을 해석하는 데 한계가 있으며, 부유식방파제 단면형상을 정확하게 재현할 수 없으므로, 수리모형실험을 통한 부유식방파제의 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 최근 기술의 발달로 인한 유동장 해명이 가능해 졌으며, PIV(Particle image velocimetry) 및 LDV시스템은 다양한 분야에서 응용되고 있다. 특히, LDV시스템은 측정하려는 한 지점에 대하여 레이저 빔을 단면(Cross-section)으로 만들고 입자의 산란광을 후방산란(Back scatter)으로 받아서 도플러 효과를 이용, 속도에 대한 주파수를 획득하며, 유속을 측정하는 장비로 매우 높은 정확도와 비접촉식 이라는 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한, PIV 시스템에 비하여 측정시간이 오래 걸리는 반면 데이터를 가공하지 않고 활용할 만큼 높은 정확성을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 수리모형실험을 통하여 단독형, 2열형 및 3열형 부유식방파제의 형상, 흘수 및 거리를 변화시키며 유동장을 수집하였으며, 방파성능에 따른 와의 생성 및 소멸시점에서의 파랑변형과의 관계를 분석하였다. 방파제의 형상과 흘수를 달리하여 수리모형실험을 수행하였으며, 와류의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 또한, 연직 2차원 Navier-Stokes 방정식 모형을 이용하여 수치모형실험을 수행하였으며, 수치모형실험 결과와 수리모형실험 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 후방방파제에서 발생되는 파랑은 입사파의 주기가 길어질수록 상대적으로 커지는 현상을 보였으며, 흘수심이 깊어질수록 전방방파제 입사 면에서 자유 수면이 높게 관측되는 결과를 보였다. 또한, 비교적 장주기파랑에 해당하는 입사파랑의 경우 전달파고비 산정에 있어서 설계기준인 0.5를 대다수 초과하는 반면, 3열형 구조에서는 대부분이 0.5이하로 상당히 높은 방파성능 결과를 나타내었다.

Complex acoustic signals can be formed in a water-filled acoustic pulse tube under some exciting conditions. It makes difficult to measure plane-wave reflection coefficient with the pulse tube for low frequency bands. In this study, using COMSOL Multiphysics we show that the tube wall excitation generates complex acoustic field of nonplanar mode as well as planar one. From such field incident or reflected planar mode can be decomposed respectively with a modal decomposition method, two-dimensional Fourier filtering. It makes possible to more accurately determine the plane-wave reflection coefficient of acoustic specimen with time gating.

In this study, a series of hydraulic experiments are conducted to measure wave pressure on vertical structures with incident solitary waves that well represent characteristics of tsunamis. The pressure transducers measure time histories of wave pressure according to wave height to see pressure distribution. The force of incident solitary wave is estimated from integrated pressure distributions and represented with square and cylindrical columns. Experimental measurements are compared with the predictions of existing empirical formulas frequently used to design of coastal structures.

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.

Because it is difficult to apply direct and optical detection techniques to sunken hazardous and noxious substances (HNS), effective acoustic detection techniques are required to detect sunken HNS in water. In this study, the possibility of acoustic detection of sunken HNS was investigated through backscattering signal measurement experiments using chloroform, a sunken HNS. After establishing a pool in an acrylic tank, backscattering signals were measured according to the presences or absence of chloroform by varying the grazing angle from 90° to 50° in 0.5° intervals using a pan&tilt system. A directional transducer transmitted and received sinusoidal signals with a frequency of 200 kHz and a pulse length of 25 ㎲ in a monostatic state. When chloroform was deposited, the received level of the backscattering signal at the interface between water and chloroform became low at a grazing angle of approximately 80° or smaller. Based on the backscattering signal results obtained at the interface between water and chloroform, the possibility of acoustic detection of sunken HNS was demonstrated.

High-frequency bottom loss measurements for grazing angle of $82^{\circ}$ in frequency range 17-40 kHz were made in Jinhae bay in the southern part of Korea. Observations of bottom loss showed the strong variation as a function of frequency, which were compared to the predicted values using two-layered sediment reflection model. The geoacoustic parameters including sound speed, density and attenuation coefficient for the second sediment layer were predicted from the empirical relations with the mean grain size obtained from sediment core analysis. The geoacoustic parameters for the surficial sediment layer were inverted using Monte Carlo inversion algorithm. A sensitivity study for the geoacoustic parameters showed that the thickness of surficial sediment layer was most sensitive to the variation of the bottom loss.

Acoustic characteristics of the wedge-shaped anechoic tiles, used as absorbing lining materials for an anechoic water tank, were investigated for different wedge-apex angles. The anechoic tile base has the dimensions of 400mm x 385mm x 15.5mm. In order to investigate anechoic effect, the wedge-apex angles 30° and 60° were selected by using a ray-tracing method. The reflection loss of the anechoic tiles with and without wedges were experimentally studied at normal incident sound waves in water. In this experiment, the reflection loss of wedge-shaped anechoic tiles with the optimum wedge-apex angle 30° is larger than one with the angle 60° and one without wedges. The experimental results show that the wedge-shaped anechoic tiles with the wedge-apex angle 30°, optimized by using ray-tracing method, turn out better absorbing lining materials of an anechoic water tank.

This paper proposes the Focused beamforming to estimate the location of target residing near to the observation platform in the underwater environment. The Focused beamforming technique provides the location of target by the coherent summation of a series of incident spherical waveforms considering distinct propagation delay times at the sensor array. But due to the movement of the observation platform and the variation of the underwater environment, the shape of the sensor array is no longer to be linear but it becomes distorted as the platform moves. Thus the Focused beamforming should be peformed regarding to the geometric shape variation at each time. To estimate the target location, the artificial image plane comprised of cells is constructed, and the delays are calculated from each cell where the target could be proximity to sensors for the coherent summation. After the coherent combining, the beam pattern can be obtained through the Focused beamforming on the image plane. Futhermore to compensate the variation of the shape of the sensor array, the paper utilizes the Nth-order polynomial approximation to estimate the shape of the sensor array obeying the water pulley modeling. Simulation results show the performance of the Focused beamforming for different frequency bands of the radiated signal.

The motion of two-dimensional floating breakwaters with rectangular clots-section which are moored tautly in shallow water has been analyzed using a velocity potential matching method in which the fluid region is devided into sub-regions and then unknown coefficients of velocity potentials are determined from the continuity condition of mass and momentum flux of fluid at imaginary boundaries between sub-regions. The method originally suggested by Ijima et al.(1972) for the motion of submerged body has been modified to analyze the motion of floating body. The total fluid region has been divided into three sub-regions : the incident wave region, the transmitted wave region and the region below the floating breakwater. The restoring forces induced by mooring lines which were ignored by Ijima et al.(1972) have been modeled as linear springs with the initial tension effects. This method has been verified through the comparions with results from hydraulic expriments. Applications to various conditions of floating breakwater have been performed.

Reactor core and internal structures of a liquid metal reactor (LMR) can not be visually examined due to an opaque liquid sodium. The under-sodium viewing technique by using an ultrasonic wave should be applied far the visual inspection of reactor internals. In this study, an ultrasonic waveguide sensor with a strip plate has been developed for an application to the under-sodium viewing technique. The Lamb wave propagation of a waveguide sensor has been analyzed and the zero-order antisymmetric $A_0$ plate wave was selected as the application mode of the sensor. The $A_0$ plate wave can be propagated in the dispersive low frequency range by using a liquid wedge clamped to the waveguide. A new technique is presented which is capable of steering the radiation beam angle of a waveguide sensor without a mechanical movement of the sensor assembly The steering function of the ultrasonic radiation beam can be achieved by a frequency tuning method of the excitation pulse in the dispersive range of the $A_0$ mode. The technique provides an opportunity to overcome the scanning limitation of a waveguide sensor. The beam steering function has been evaluated by an experimental verification. The ultrasonic C-scanning experiments are performed in water and the feasibility of the ultrasonic waveguide sensor has been verified.
