As a transition region between ocean and land, coastal wetlands are significant ecosystems that maintain water quality, provide natural habitat for a variety of species, and slow down erosion. The energy of coastal waves and storm surges are reduced by vegetation cover, which also helps to maintain wetlands through increased sediment deposition. Wave attenuation by vegetation is a highly dynamic process and its quantification is important for understanding shore protection and modeling coastal hydrodynamics. In this study, laboratory experiments were used to quantify wave attenuation as a function of vegetation type as well as wave conditions. Wave attenuation characteristics were investigated under regular waves for rigid model vegetation. Laboratory hydraulic test and numerical analysis were conducted to investigate regular wave attenuation through emergent vegetation with wave steepness ak and relative water depth kh. The normalized wave attenuation was analyzed to the decay equation of Dalrymple et al.(1984) to determine the vegetation transmission coefficients, damping factor and drag coefficients. It was found that drag coefficient was better correlated to Keulegan-Carpenter number than Reynolds number and that the damping increased as wave steepness increased.

본 연구에서는 선박의 내항 및 조종성능평가를 위해 사용되는 2차원부가질량계수와 파랑감쇠계쉬를 desingularized indirect boundary integral method를 이용하여 주파수영역에서 계산하였다. 본 방법을 Rankine source를 유체경계면 전체에 분포하는 방법으로 수학적으로 간단하고 경계조건의 변경 및 적용이 용이하다는 장점이 있다. 하지만 물체표면, 자유수면 그리고 방사경계면의 계산영역 및 요소의 배치에 따라 계산정확도에 차이가 발생한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수치시험을 통해, 자유수면과 방사계면의 적절한 계산영역과 요소의 개수를 결정하였다. 계산의 정도와 효율성을 확보하기 위하여, 자유수면과 방사경계면의 계산영역과 요소의 분포를 파의주파수에 따라 달리 적용하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 수치방법을 활용하여 계산된 동유체력과 실험에서 계측된 동유체력을 비교하여 본 방법의 정도를 확인하였다.

Recently, it has been widely recognized that water-front and coastal vegetations may have great value in supporting fisheries, protecting from wave attack, stabilizing the sea bed and maintaining good scenery. Hydrodynamic factors playa major role in the functions of water quality and ecosystems. However, the studies on numerical and analytical process of wave propagation are few and far behind compared to those on the hydrodynamic roles of water-front vegetations. In this study, in order to express wave attenuation into water-front vegetation, a numerical model based on the unsteady mild slope equation is developed. This result is compared with an analytical model for describing the wave attenuation by assumed simple long wave condition. Based on both the analytical and numerical results, the physical properties of the wave attenuation are examined under various wave, geometric and vegetation conditions. Through comparisons between the analytical and numerical results, the effects of the vegetation properties, wave properties and model parameters such as the momentum exchange coefficient have been clarified.

To simulate the wave transformation by an energy dissipation region, a numerical model is suggested by discretizing the elliptic mild-slope equation. Generalized conjugate gradient method is used as solution algorithm to apply parabolic approximation to open boundary condition. To demonstrate the applicabil-ity of the numerical procedure suggested, the wave scattering by a circular damping region is examined. The feature of reflection in front of the damping region is captured clearly by the numerical solution. The effect of the size of dissipation coefficient is examined for a rectangular damping region. The recovery of wave height by diffraction occurs very slowly with distance behind the damping region.

In this study, a submerged plate-type breakwater is considered, which is supported by elastic foundation. This breakwater makes use of wave phase interaction among the incident, diffracted and radiated waves. We apply a three-dimensional singularity distribution method within the linear potential theory in order to describe the wave field. The submerged plate is assumed to be rigid and the elastic support be a linear spring with constant stiffness. A typical rectangle plate is exemplified for numerical calculation. The thickness of the plate is carefully selected in order to guarantee the solution to be stable by checking the condition number of the system matrix. A parametric study is carried out for examining the effect of the stiffness of the elastic support on performance of the breakwater. We also examine the effect of the submerged depth.

A discrete spectral model of wind waves for arbitrary depth and current is presented This model incorporates wave growth. decay by opposite int bottom friction and wave-current interaction. Depth dependent factor was also added to the fully developed spectrum in order to consider finite depth effects. The physical behavior for the effect of depth and bottom friction was analyzed for an artificially-imposed wind field.

It is needed the introduction of a new wave dispersion relationship considering the condition of seabed to examine closely the interaction between wave and seabed. In this study, a wave dispersion relationship is newly developed considering the condition of seabed such as permeability and displacement. Wave damping rates are compared and analysed according to the various soil parameters such as seabed soil thickness, elastic modulus, saturation, permeability, and porosity.

국내 항만의 건설 및 확장 보수를 위한 설계 단계에서의 평면배치 검토시 항내측으로 내습하는 파랑변형특성에 대한 정밀한 평가는 필수적이다. 이에 따라 많은 수학적 모델들이 연안역과 항만에서의 파랑전파와 변형에 대해 개발되어 왔다. 특히 항내정온도의 해석은 항만 사용성 측면에서 매우 중요하며 실제 해상의 파랑상태와 유사한 불규칙파로의 해석이 요구되어 지고 있다. 항내정온도 해석에 있어서 항내파랑장 형성에 크게 영향을 미치는 구조물의 반사율을 효과적으로 적용하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 하지만, 구조물의 반사율은 이론계산이 어렵고, 일반적으로는 모형실험 혹은 현지관측에 의해 추정된다. 따라서, 일반적인 경우 비용 및 시간상의 제약으로 인해 평면 파랑모형으로 정온도 해석시 반사율의 적용은 구조형식별로 연구자들에 의해 개략 제시된 반사율을 적용하고 있다. 특히, 다방향 불규칙파의 적용시에 경계조건으로는 다방향 불규칙파를 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 부분반사 경계면과 계산영역 밖으로 나가는 파랑에 대해서 인공적인 흡수층 또는 감쇠층(artificial damping layer)을 설정하여 반사를 제어하는 기법을 많이 적용하고 있다. 이때 항만구조물의 부분반사는 파랑제원에 따른 damping layer의 parameter의 조정에 의해 구조물의 구조형식별 반사율을 적절히 재현할 필요성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 불규칙파를 대상으로 damping layer의 parameter(무차원 감쇠계수, 감쇠층의 두께)등의 변화에 따른 반사율의 변화특성을 고찰하고, 향후 부분반사 경계면으로 damping layer가 적용되는 평면 파랑모형의 정온도 해석시 부분반사의 적용에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다.

The transmission coefficients of impermeable submerged breakwater on permeable bottom are computed numerically using a boundary element method. The analysis method is based on the wave pressure function with the continuity in the analytical region including fluid and structures. Wave motion over permeable bottom is simulated by introducing a linear dissipation coefficient and an added mass coefficient. The results indicate that the wave over permeable bottom travels being damped, and that transmission coefficients for permeable bottom are smaller than those for impermeable bottom, and result from the change of width and height of submerged breakwater.

In this study, wave damping due to a permeable bed of finite depth was modelled using a complementary mild-slope equation for stream function. The energy dissipating term in the mild-slope equation was presented in terms of stream function. In order to prevent re-reflection of reflected waves along the outer boundary, a delta-function-shaped source function was derived to generate a wave in a computational domain. Numerical experiments were conducted to measure the reflection coefficient of waves over a planar slope for various incident wave periods. The numerical result of the proposed model was compared with that of an integral equation method, showing good agreement in general. However, the proposed model showed relatively higher transmission rate for the larger permeability and the longer wavelength.
