In the near future, autonomous ships, ships controlled by shore remote control centers, and ships operated by navigators will coexist and operate the sea together. In the advent of this situation, a method is required to evaluate the safety of the maritime traffic environment. Therefore, in this study, a plan to evaluate the safety of navigation through ship control simulation was proposed in a maritime environment, where ships directly controlled by navigators and autonomous ships coexisted, using autonomous operation technology. Own ship was designed to have autonomous operational functions by learning the MMG model based on the six-DOF motion with the PPO algorithm, an in-depth reinforcement learning technique. The target ship constructed maritime traffic modeling data based on the maritime traffic data of the sea area to be evaluated and designed autonomous operational functions to be implemented in a simulation space. A numerical model was established by collecting date on tide, wave, current, and wind from the maritime meteorological database. A maritime meteorology model was created based on this and designed to reproduce maritime meteorology on the simulator. Finally, the safety evaluation proposed a system that enabled the risk of collision through vessel traffic flow simulation in ship control simulation while maintaining the existing evaluation method.

Three similarities (i.e., geometrical similarity, kinematic similarity and dynamic similarity) between a prototype and model must be satisfied to perform an experiment for a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT). For dynamic similarity, most of the model tests in ocean engineering basins are performed based on the Froude number, so the scale effect for the wind turbine of an FOWT occurs by different Reynolds numbers between the prototype and model. In this study, various model test techniques for overcoming the scale effect of the wind turbine part of the FOWT are investigated. Firstly, model test techniques using simple approaches are reviewed, and the advantages and disadvantages of the simple approaches are summarized. Secondly, the model test techniques in recent projects that apply improved approaches are introduced including advantages and disadvantages. Finally, new approaches applying digitalization are reviewed, and the characteristics of the new approaches are introduced.

This study is a basic research for low maintenance constructed wetlands which can prevent water quality deterioration due to wetland soils. The purpose of this study is to analyze water quality control mechanisms of constructed wetland on the artificial ground which installed the modular revetment structure(MRS), a device that separates water and soil. This study was then conducted with two different wetland mesocosms (a treatment plot and a control). These mesocosms were monitored to analyze effects of water quality control of the MRS. A treatment plot was built, and separated into soil and water, by filling the MRS with the decomposed granite soil in the mesocosm made of rubber material. A control plot was built where the decomposed granite soils were exposed to water by leaving the soil on the bottom of the mesocosm made of rubber material. Water quality was then analyzed by using Kolmogorov-Smirnov Z examination which then showed that pH, BOD, SS, Chl-a, T-P, T-N had statistically valid difference between a container with the MRS and one without it. According to the analysis of the water quality, the temperature and the EC level came out similarly and both mesocosm showed same level on pH and DO. A treatment plot had higher levels of BOD, SS Chl-a, and T-P. A control plot's T-N value was little lower than that of the treatment plot. This study suggests method of constructed wetlands using the MRS prevents problems occurring in wetland soils: aridity of wetlands by soil erosion, eutrophication, and algal blooms due to nutrients released from wetland soil. These functions of constructed wetland with the MRS increase aesthetic, ecologic, social, and economic value of the wetland. Outcomes of this research will later enable more proficient way of stabilizing water quality and provide data for planning low maintenance constructed wetlands.

This paper presents a continuum-based shape design sensitivity analysis(DSA) method for crack propagation problems using a reproducing kernel method(RKM), which facilitates the remeshing problem required for finite element analysis(FEA) and provides the higher order shape functions by increasing the continuity of the kernel functions. A linear elasticity is considered to obtain the required stress field around the crack tip for the evaluation of J-integral. The sensitivity of displacement field and stress intensity factor(SIF) with respect to shape design variables are derived using a material derivative approach. For efficient computation of design sensitivity, an adjoint variable method is employed tather than the direct differentiation method. Through numerical examples, The mesh-free and the DSA methods show excellent agreement with finite difference results. The DSA results are further extended to a shape optimization of crack propagation problems to control the propagation path.

Seadike is a coastal structure constructed in the rear region of the foreshore to maximize its usability by preventing direct effect of wave. The expected construction field is determined under the design wave and tidal condition where minor wave overtopping is anticipated. Thus, the location of seadike is generally fixed at the highest site of the surrounding area with seadike crest height controlling the permissible range of wave overtopping volume. But a lot of times, frontal sand beach of the seadike continuously deforms due to incident waves, resulting failure in maintaining its initial slope. The erosion and deposition of the seadike front cause changes in the crest height and volume of wave overtopping and decrease in the setting depth of the seadike, which endangers seadike region as a result. In this study, the relation of local scouring and setting depth of the seadike front in the run-up region is examined by using 2D hydraulic model tests and numerical simulations by modified SBEACH model. As a result, the study learned that if appropriate boundary condition is applied to the modified SBEACH model, it is possible to create practical estimations on the local scouring at the seadike foot when erosive waves flow into the region.

최근 환경부에서는 낙동강 유역의 오염총량관리제도의 시행에 따라 이제까지의 배출구 수질기준으로부터 총량수질기준을 통한 수질관리를 실시하고 있다. 오염총량관리를 실행하기 위해서는 주요지천 및 폐수처리장에서의 수질개선 및 비점오염원 관리가 선행되어야 하는데 이를 효율적으로 제어하기 위해서 낙동강 유역에 적합한 최적 수질해석 모델의 개발이 요구되는 상황이다. 수질모델의 가장 큰 목적은 유역으로부터 발생한 오염물이 하천으로 유입되었을 때 하천 수질 및 생태계의 수학적 표현을 통해 장래의 수질을 예측하고, 예측된 결과에 따라 합리적인 수질관리대책을 수립하는 것이다. 낙동강은 대표적인 수지상 하천망의 형태로서 댐 방류량 및 지류유입량은 본류 수계에 직접적인 영향을 미치며, 수질해석의 기본이 되는 수리계산에 매우 중요한 변수가 된다. 또한 대구, 구미, 왜관, 김천 등에서의 오염부하가 금호강, 남강 등의 주요 지류를 통하여 본류부로 유입되고 있으며, 하류부 칠서, 원동, 매리, 물금 등에서는 대량의 하천수를 취수하여 부산, 울산, 마산, 창원 지역 등의 생활 및 공업용수의 원수로 사용하고 있다. 다시 말해서 댐 방류량, 낙동강 하구언의 수위조절, 지류 유입량, 비점원 유입량 등 계산영역 경계에서의 비정상상태의 수리조건과 수질관리 계획에 의해 일률적으로 오염이 부하되는 정상상태의 수질조건이 공존하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강 유역에 적합한 동적 수질모델을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 수치모형은 갈수저수조건 및 불규칙한 하도단면을 반영하고, 동적 상태의 댐 방류량, 낙동강 하구언의 수위조절 영향, 지류 유입량 등 다양한 하천조건에서 발생하는 동적 흐름을 안정적으로 해석하여 낙동강 수질해석의 신뢰도를 향상시킴으로서 낙동강에 유입된 오염물질이 수계에 미치는 영향을 정확히 분석하고자 하였다. 동적수질해석에 의한 모의결과는 유량의 경우 상류부분은 모의치와 실측치가 잘 일치하지만, 중류 이후 지류의 유입이 많아지면서 지류의 변화를 정확히 입력하지 못해 모의치와 실측치의 차이가 발생한다. BOD의 경우는 수질이 양호한 상류지역은 모의치와 실측치가 잘 일치하지만, 오염원의 유입이 많은 중류지역부터는 실측치와 차이를 나타내다가 하류지역에서 다시 비교적 일치함을 알 수 있다. TN의 경우는 전반적으로 실측치보다 높게 모의되었고, TP는 전반적으로 실측치와 비교하여 잘 모의되었다. 본 연구에서 구축한 동적 수리해석모형 및 동적 수질해석모형은 낙동강 유역에 대해 유량 및 수질 등의 실제 하천의 경향에 비교적 잘 반영하므로 오염물총량규제에 따른 합리적인 하천 수질관리대책을 수립하는데 크게 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

It is at risk of depletion of biodiversity due to indiscriminate overfishing of ecosystems and destruction of habitats. Intensive fertilizers or development of related facilities to increase agricultural production in poor indigenous areas devastate the soil. Preservation of biodiversity is now emerging as an important issue of global human coexistence. After the Post-2020 GBF Declaration, all governance in agricultural development in indigenous agricultural areas should be supported and promoted as biodiversity conservation measures. A compromise plan to reduce ecosystem development and biodiversity loss can help establish public governance policies. In this paper, a viability kernel used for viable control feedback analysis is introduced to solve conflicting economic and ecological problems in ecosystem conservation, and a mathematical model on biodiversity conservation by the viability kernel is examined. Because all species in the ecosystem are interdependent, if the balance is broken, biodiversity is depleted, which is irreversible and eventually leads to extinction. For sustainable use and harmony of biological resources, a lot of policy consideration is required, such as creative governance that can efficiently protect all species. Subsidies or tax incentives have a direct impact on biodiversity conservation. The recovery of species in a state of decreasing biodiversity can be said to be of great economic value. Biodiversity will allow indigenous producers to be proud of their unique traditional knowledge and have a positive impact on local tourism, thereby enhancing regional identity and greatly contributing to the survival and prosperity of mankind.
