The impact forces of the highly nonlinear waves are one of the important factors in designing the ocean structures. The impact forces are very difficult to analyze numerically and experimentally because they are impulsive in magnitude and occur instantaneously. In this study the numerical program based on N.S. equations are used to investigate the impact forces of steep waves where the waves are gene rated by the wave maker in the numerical wave basin. The arbitrary steep waves are generated by the superposition of waves of single frequency and the impact forces on vertical cylinder are simulated on the multiblock grids. V.O.F. and the local height function methods are used to track the free surfaces. To validate the numerical analysis the numerical results are compared with the experimental ones and the acceptable agreements are found. It is thought that more studies on the simulations of the incoming breaking waves and the impact forces on the vertical cylinder should be made to obtain the useful results to be applied in the offshore design.

지진해일의 수리특성을 분석하기 위하여 유사한 파형특성을 가진 고립파를 많이 이용하고 있다. 그러나 고립파의 근사파형은 실제 지진해일에 비해 상당히 좁은 파형분포를 가지고 있다. 이에 수치모의에서는 기존의 고립파 근사식을 개량하여 고립파형의 지진해일을 수치적으로 생성하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지진해일의 파형분포에 따른 월파특성을 수치적으로 조사하기 위하여 개량된 고립파 근사식을 2차원 N-S solver에서 적용하였다. 이것에 기초하여 수치파동수조에 직립호안과 그 배후에는 월파수조를 설치하고, 지진해일 월파량을 측정하였다. 수치해석결과로부터 직립호안 주변의 공간파형과 마루 위의 유속분포로부터 파형분포에 따른 월파현상을 분석할 수 있었다. 또한 기존 고립파 근사이론 대비 개량된 고립파의 체적비에 따른 월파량 변화를 정량적으로 조사하였다. 그 결과 지진해일의 체적비가 증가할수록 월파량이 거의 선형적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다.

In the present study, we proposed a new numerical wave tank model to analyze the vertical tension-leg circular floating bodies, using a 2-D Navier-Stokes solver. An IBM(Immersed Boundary Method) capable of handling interactions between waves and moving structures with complex geometry on a standard regular Cartesian grid system is coupled to the VOF(Volume of Fluid) method for tracking the free surface. Present numerical results for the motions of the floating body were compared with existing experimental data as well as numerical results based on FAVOR(Fractional Area Volume Obstacle Representation) algorithm. For detailed examinations of the present model, the additional hydraulic experiments for floating motions and free surface transformations were conducted. Further, the versatility of the proposed numerical model was verified via the numerical and physical experiments for the general rectangular floating bodies. Numerical results were compared with experiments and good agreement was archived.

This study considered the existing approximation theories of solitary wave for stable generation of it with different waveforms in a hydraulic/numerical wave tank for coping with the tsunami. Based on the approximation theory equations, two methods were proposed to estimate various waveforms of solitary wave. They estimate different waveforms and flow rates by applying waveform distribution factor and virtual depth factor with the original approximate expressions of solitary wave. Newly proposed estimation methods of solitary wave were applied in the wave generation of hydraulic/numerical wave tank. In the result, it was able to estimate the positional information signal of wave generator in the hydraulic wave tank and to find that the signal was very similar to an input signal of existing hydraulic model experiment. The waveform and velocity of solitary wave was applied to the numerical wave tank in order to generate wave, which enabled generate waveform of tsunami that was not reproduced with existing solitary wave approximation theory and found that the result had high conformity with existing experiment result. Therefore, it was able to validate and verify the two proposed estimation methods to generate stable tsunami in the hydraulic/numerical wave tank.

Among various numerical methods of wave transformations including wave breaking by structure, models using VOF(Volume Of Fluid) method to trace free surface are getting into the spotlight recently. In order to analyze wave transformations and velocity of the wave fields due to the permeable submerged breakwater(PSB), This study applied VOF method to the two-dimensional wave channel installed line-source to generate waves and added dissipation zone to offer a non-reflective boundary. Hydraulic experiments was performed to obtain the application of two-dimensional numerical wave channel. The results of numerical experiments using the two-dimensional wave channel agree well with the experimental data. It was shown that vortices are formed behind the PSB, and in case of the 2-rowed PSB they also are occurred in between PSBs, strongly non-linear waves are developed on the crown of the PSB, and the direction of velocities in porous media is determined by the shape of free surface.

Recently, large-scale offshore and coastal structures have been constructed owing to the increasing interest in eco-friendly energy development. To achieve this, precise simulations of waves are necessary to ensure the safe operations of marine structures. Several experiments are required in the field to understand the offshore wave; however, in terms of scale, it is difficult to control variables, and the cost is significant. In this study, numerical waves under various wave conditions are produced using a piston-type wavemaker, and the produced wave profiles are verified by comparing with the results from a numerical wave tank (NWT) modeled using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method and theoretical equations. To minimize the effect by the reflected wave, a mass-weighted damping zone is set at the right end of the NWT, and therefore, stable and uniform waves are simulated. The waves are generated using the linear and Stokes wave theories, and it is observed that the numerical wave profiles calculated by the Stokes wave theory yield high accuracy. When the relative depth is smaller than two, the results show good agreement irrespective of the wave steepness. However, when the relative depth and wave steepness are larger than 2 and 0.04, respectively, the errors are negligible if the measurement position is close to the excitation plate. However, the error is 10% or larger if the measurement position is away from the excitation location. Applicable target wave ranges are confirmed through various case studies.

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.

A possibility of the drag coefficient estimation in numerical water basins was discussed where the numerical solution were calculated by the 3-dimensional hydro-dynamical model (FLOW-$3D^{(R)}$) with the RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model. On the known cases of the drag coefficients for a rectangle, the numerical drag coefficients got $1.34{\sim}1.52$ and the wind tunnel values were $1.3{\sim}1.5$. For a cylinder, the numerical values were calculated as $0.75{\sim}0.78$ in the range of 0.5

Hydrodynamic characteristics of wave propagation through density stratification have not been identified in details. So this study conducted a numerical simulation using LES-WASS-3D ver. 2.0 for analysis of density current due to water temperature and salinity in order to analyze hydraulic characteristics under wave action in a two-layer density stratified fluid. For the validity and effectiveness of numerical wave tank used, it was compared and analyzed with the experiment to show waveform based on $3^{rd}$-order Stoke wave theory at the internal of a density stratification. Using the results obtained from numerical simulation, the surface and internal wave heights are reduced as the wave propagates in a two-layer density stratified water. And the surface or internal wave attenuation became more serious as the vorticities were increased by the velocity difference of wave propagation due to the upper-lower density difference around the interface of a density stratification. As well, the surface and internal wave attenuations became more serious with higher density difference and depth ratio between upper and lower layers when the wave propagates through a density stratification.
