The freak wave, also known as New-Year-Wave in the north Atlantic, is relatively large and spontaneous ocean surface wave that can sink even large ships and destroy maritime structures. To understand oceanic conditions that develop freak waves, we simulated and generated two versions of scale-downed waves (1:64 and 1:42) in a numerical wave tank and compared the results with the experiment in wave flume. Both of the breaking and non-breaking waves were generated in the simulation. The numerical simulation was implemented based on the finite volume method and a genetic optimization algorithm. Random values were assigned as the initial values for the parameter in the control function, which produced signals representing the motion of wave-maker. The same signal obtained from the optimization process was used for both of the simulation and the experiment. By varying the object function and restrictions of the simulation, a best profile of design wave was selected based on the characteristics, height and period of simulated waves. Results showed that the simulation and experiment with the scale of 1:42 agreed better with freak waves in the natural condition. The presented simulation method will contribute to saving the time and cost for conducting subsequent response analyses of motion under freak waves in the course of the model test for ship and maritime structure.

The disaster preventing system using vegetation has been growing in the field of coastal engineering in recent years. To analyze wave and flow fields under nonlinear interactions between tsunami and vegetation, the purpose of this study is to evaluate newly-developed 3-D numerical wave tank including energy dissipation by tsunami-vegetation interaction based on existing N-S solver with porous body model. Comparing numerical results using mean drag coefficient and dynamic drag coefficient due to Reynolds number to existing experimental results it is revealed that computed results considering the dynamic drag coefficient are in good agreement with the laboratory test results for time-domain waveform. In addition, the calculated transmission coefficients of solitary waves in various vegetation densities and incident wave heights are also in good agreement with the experimental values. This confirms the validity and effectiveness of the developed 3-D numerical wave tank with the fluid resistance by vegetation.

In this study, a new numerical procedure for the generation of a nonlinear tailored group of waves is presented. The procedure is based on the transient wave group technique. In order to integrate the nonlinearity during the wave propagation in the computational method, the Navier-Stokes equations are applied as governing equations. The governing equations are discretized by finite volume approximation. The deformation of the free water surface in each time step is pursued with a moving grid. A two-dimensional, numerical wave tank for the simulation of the wave propagation is developed and tested in detail. The numeric results are compared first with analytical wave theories and with measurements, in order to examine the correctness of the numerical wave tank. Wave surface elevation and associated fields of velocity and pressure are numerically computed and compared with measurements. Very good agreements show up.

In this study, the characteristics of the propagation of dam-break wave through a porous structure in a water tank is numerically analyzed by using the three-dimensional numerical model (ANSYS CFX model). As results of comparison between the existing measured and simulated water depth distributions in and around a porous structure, the agreement is relatively well satisfied. Moreover, for the case of the presence in part of a porous structure in a water tank, the three-dimensional flow structure is numerically analyzed In general, compared with in the area with a porous structure, the abrupt variation of water depth occurs in the area without a porous structure. It is shown that the porous structure can play a role to decrease the abrupt variation of water depth.

In offshore environment, an accurate estimation of a wave-structure interaction has been an important issue for safe and cost effective design of fixed and floating offshore structures exposed to a harsh environment. In this study, a wave-structure interaction around a circular column was investigated with regular waves. To simulate 3D two-phase flow, open source computational fluid dynamics libraries, called OpenFOAM, were used. Wave generation and absorption in the wave tank were activated by the relaxation method, which implemented in a source term. To validate the numerical methods, generated Stokes 2nd-order wave profiles were compared with the analytic solution with deep water condition. From the validation test, grid longitudinal and vertical sizes for wave length and amplitude were selected. The simulated wave run-up and wave loads on the circular column were studied and compared with existing experimental data.

A numerical analysis for wave motion in the shallow water is presented. The method is based on potential theory. The fully nonlinear free surface boundary condition is assumed in an inner domain and this solution is matched along an assumed common boundary to a linear solution in outer domain. In two-dimensional problem Cauchy's integral theorem is applied to calculate the complex potential and its time derivative along boundary.

Numerical experiments using a numerical wave tank have been performed to verier the nonlinear interaction between monochromatic waves and a submerged horizontal plate. As a model for numerical wave tank, we used a higher-order Boundary Element Method(BEM) based on fully nonlinear potential flow theory and CADMAS-SURF for solving Navier Stokes equations and exact free surface conditions. Both nonlinear models are able to predict the higher harmonic generation in the shallow water region over a submerged horizontal plate. CADMAS-SURF, which involves the viscous effect, can evaluate the higher harmonic generation by flow separation and vortices at the each ends of plate. The comparison of reflection and transmission coefficients with experimental results(Patarapanich and Cheong, 1989) at different lengths and submergence depths of a horizontal plate are presented with a good agreement. It is found that the transfer of energy from the incident fundamental waves to higher harmonics becomes larger as the submergence depth ratio decreases and the length ratio increases.

연안지역에서 발생하는 퇴적 및 침식현상으로 발생하는 피해를 분석하기 위하여, 고립파를 이용한 연구가 계속 진행되어왔다. 고립파는 파고의 크기에 따라 파형이 결정되는 특징을 가지고 있어 연안지역 파랑에 관한 연구에 적합하다. 기존연구는 sluice gate를 순간적으로 개방하는 방식을 통해 갑작스러운 수위의 변화를 유도하여 급변부정류흐름을 발생시키는 연구를 수행하였으나, 고립파 발생 조건에 대한 상세한 분석은 수행하지 못하였다. 본 연구는 기존연구에서 사용한 방식과 동일하게 sluice gate를 개방하여 고립파를 발생시켰으며, 실험조건을 상류 headtank 수위와 하류 수심의 수위차를 이용하는 경우와 sluice gate 개방 속도에 따라 두 가지 경우로 나누어 실험을 수행하였다. 실험에 사용된 직사각형 수리실험수조는 폭 0.8 m, 높이 0.75 m, 수로길이 12 m에서 상 하류의 수위차를 0.05 m 단위로 높이는 방식과 수문개방속도를 0.5 m/s 부터 1.0 m/s까지 범위를 설정하여 두 가지 재현방식에 따라 실험을 진행하였다. 또한 Flow-3D GMO(General Moving Objects)기능을 활용한 수치모의를 수행하였다. 실험조건에 따른 수리실험 결과를 파랑의 특성인 고립파 파고와 파속을 수치모의결과와 비교하여 분석하였다. 수리실험결과와 수치해석결과 유사한 경향을 나타내었으며, 본 연구의 결과는 Sluice gate를 이용한 고립파 수리실험으로 경사면에서 발생하는 침식과 퇴적현상에 관한 기초적인 연구가 될 것이다.

본 연구에서는 컷 집합(cut set)개념과 파이프의 부정류를 위한 수치해석 결과를 이용하여 상수관망의 불능 확률을 정량적으로 산정하는 신뢰성 해석이 수행되었다. 특히 상수관망에서 중요한 운용형태의 하나인 밸브의 개폐효과에 따른 효과를 통하여 불능확률이 산정되었다. 먼저 부정류 수치해석을 위해서 작은 상수관망을 만들고 여러 가지 시나리오를 재현하였다. 이때 부정류 해석을 위해서 특성선법(the method of characteristics)모형이 사용되었다. 밸브의 개폐에 따라서 여러 가지 형태의 부정류가 발생되고 발생된 부정류를 상수관망의 불능확률을 크게 증가시킨다. 상수관망에서 컷 집합을 추출하여 기준지점에 배출유량(demand)가 도달하지 못할 확률을 불능확률로 규정하여 정량적으로 산정한다. 이를 위해서 컷 집합의 총 유량을 시간에 따라 평균하여 COV를 불능확률 산정에 이용한다. 부정류로 인한 파이프 유량의 변동이 심할수록 COV는 증가하고 결국은 컷 집합의 불능확률은 증가하게 된다. 그리고 똑같은 상수관망에 에너지 감쇠장치인 조압수조가 설치되어 부정류 압력파(pressure wave)를 크게 감소시켰을 때 불능확률을 비교하였다. 조압수조와 같은 압력감쇠장치가 상수관망의 부정류 효과와 불능확률을 크게 저감시키는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 신뢰성 해석 결과로부터 부정류가 불능확률을 급격히 증가시킨다는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 부정류 효과를 고려한 신뢰성 해석은 상수관망의 운용, 관리, 감독, 그리고 설계와 계획을 위해서 필수적이라 할 수 있다.
