A digital 6-dof motion measuring system is developed using 7 accelerometers following Miles'[1] method. A snoic wave height gauge is also developed to measure the relative wave height at the foremost end of the ship. By combining the time series of both 6-dof motions and relative wave height, we can estimate the time series of real sea wave. Results of model tests shows the validity of the developed system.

Recently, vision-based dynamic deflection measurement techniques have significant interests and are getting more popular owing to development of the high-quality and low-price camcorder and also image processing algorithm. However, there are still several research issues to be improved including the self-vibration of vision device, i.e. camcorder, and the image processing algorithm in device aspect, and also the application area should be extended to measure three dimensional movement of floating structures in application aspect. In this study, vision-based dynamic motion measurement technique using multiple targets is proposed to measure three dimensional dynamic motion of floating structures. And also a new scheme to select threshold value to discriminate the background from the raw image containing targets. The proposed method is applied to measure the dynamic motion of large concrete floating quay in open sea area under several wave conditions, and the results are compared with the measurement results from conventional RTK-GPS(Real Time Kinematics-Global Positioning System) and MRU(Motion Reference Unit).

WAM(WAve Model), deep water wave model has been extended to the region of shallow water, incorporating wave breaking, and triad wave interaction. To verify this model, two numerical simulations for hydraulic experiments of Chawla et al.(1998) and Beji and Battjes(1993) are performed. The computed results show good agreements with measured ones. To identify its applicability to real sea, it is applied to storm wave modelling for typhoon Maemi. Numerical results compared with measured ones at Geoje, Busan and Ulsan show reasonable wave height estimations.

Dynamic ship positioning(DP) system is used to keep the position and heading of a ship, or a floating platform, above a pre-selected site on the seabed by using thrusters. This paper presents a control system based on filtering technique and optimal control theory. The planar motions of a vessel are assumed to consist of low frequency(LF) component and high frequency(HF) one. The former is mainly due to thrusters, current, wind and second order wave forces, while the latter is mainly due to first order oscillatory component of the wave force. Furthermore position measurement signals include the noise. By means of self-tuning filter and Kalman filter techniques, LF motion estimates and HF ones are seperately achieved from the position measurements of the vessel. The estimated LF motions are used as input to the feedback loops. The total thruster power is minimized using the Linear Quadratic Gaussian control theory. The performance of the vessel with the DP system is investigated by computer simulation.

Numerical simulation technique has been developed to calculate microwave backscattering from water surface. The simulation plays a role of a substitute for experiments. Validation of the simulation was shown by comparing with experimental results. Water area observations by microwave radar have been simulated to evaluate algorithms and systems. Furthermore, the simulation can be used to understand microwave scattering mechanism on the water surface. The simulation has applied to the various methods for water area observations, and the utilizations of the simulation are introduced in this paper. In the case of fixed radar, we show following examples, 1. Radar image with a pulse Doppler radar, 2. Effect of microwave irradiation width and 3. River observation (Water level observation). In addition, another application (4.Synthetic aperture radar image) is also described. The details of the applications are as follows. 1. Radar image with a pulse Doppler radar: A new system for the sea surface observation is suggested by the simulation. A pulse Doppler radar is assumed to obtain radar images that display amplitude and frequency modulation of backscattered microwaves. The simulation results show that the radar images of the frequency modulation is useful to measure sea surface waves. 2. Effect of microwave irradiation width: It is reported (Rheem[2008]) that microwave irradiation width on the sea surface affects Doppler spectra measured by a CW (Continuous wave) Doppler radar. Therefore the relation between the microwave irradiation width and the Doppler spectra is evaluated numerically. We have shown the suitable condition for wave height estimation by a Doppler radar. 3. River observation (Water level observation): We have also evaluated algorithms to estimate water current and water level of river. The same algorithms to estimate sea surface current and sea surface level are applied to the river observation. The simulation is conducted to confirm the accuracy of the river observation by using a pulse Doppler radar. 4. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image: SAR images are helpful to observe the global sea surface. However, imaging mechanisms are complicated and validation of analytical algorithms by SAR images is quite difficult. In order to deal with the problems, SAR images in oceanic scenes are simulated.

In this study, continuous long-term observation is implemented with an ocean radar. Ocean radar conducts remote observation (combined) with ground-based radars, which enable a series of simultaneous observations of an extensive range of the coast with high frequency. An ocean radar for continuous long-term observation is operated at Samcheok on the east coast of Korea. Samcheok experienced tsunami damage in recent years and is the location of a nuclear power plant. In order to examine the reliability of the ocean radar, a pressure-type wave gauge, ultrasonic wave gauge, and ocean buoy are installed for the purpose of data comparison and verification. The ocean radar used in this study is an array-type HF-RADAR named WERA (WavE RAdar). The analysis of the data obtained from continuous long-term observations showed that the radar observations were in agreement with more than 90% of the wave data collected within a 25 km range from the center of two sites. Less than 1% of the entire observation data was unmeasured by the time series analysis. As a result of comparing the radar data with the direct observations made by the wave gauge, it was inferred that the RMS deviation is less than 20cm and the correlation coefficient was in the range of 0.84 ~ 0.87. Moreover, supported by such observations, a comprehensive monitoring system is being developed to provide the public with real-time reports on waves and currents via the internet.

수리모형실험은 수로 내에서 장시간 파랑을 발생시킬 경우, 수로 내에 반사 파랑의 성분이 누적될 수 있어 상당한 계측 오차를 발생시킬 우려가 있어 수리모형실험 결과의 검증이 필요하다. 일반적으로 수리모형실험 결과의 검증을 위해서는 동일 실험을 무수히 반복하여 불확실성을 제거하거나 다양한 수리실험실에서 수리모형실험을 수행하고 결과를 분석하여 불확실성을 제거할 수 있다. 그러나 이는 엄청난 시간과 노력은 물론 막대한 실험비용이 소요되기 때문에 경제적으로 효용성이 매우 낮아 현실적으로 수행이 어렵다. 이에 비해 수치모형실험은 상대적으로 저렴한 비용으로 수행할 수 있으며, 다수의 실험을 수행하지 않아도 불확실성을 제거할 수 있어 수리모형실험의 검증에 효율적이다. 일반적으로 난류 거동을 동반하는 복잡한 구조물 주변의 흐름 해석에는 3차원 CFD 모형이 필요하다. 특히, 병렬연산이 가능한 CFD 모형을 활용하면 수리모형실험에서도 재현이 쉽지 않은 다양한 조건에 따른 복잡한 흐름을 해석할 수 있어 효용성이 점점 증가하고 있다. 그러나 복잡한 구조물이 존재하게 되면 구조물에 재현에 막대한 격자구조가 필요하여 현실적으로 적용이 쉽지 않다. 이에 대한 대안으로 복잡한 구조물을 비교적 큰 격자에서 재현할 수 있는 가상경계법을 활용하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 가상경계법은 Navier-Stokes 방정식에서 유체 내에 존재하는 고체를 모멘텀 이론으로 대체하여 고려하는 기법으로 수치모델링 수행 시 매질을 유체만으로 구성할 수 있어 안정적으로 적용할 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 과업에서는 다양한 분야에서 널리 활용되고 있는 3차원 CFD 모형인 OpenFOAM®기반으로 파랑해석에 필요한 경계조건을 계산할 수 있는 olaFlow를 활용하여 복잡한 구조물을 지나는 파랑해석을 수행하기 위해 가상경계법을 olaFlow에 도입한 수치 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 개발한 수치알고리즘을 활용하여 복잡한 구조를 수치모델에서 재현하였으며, 수치모델에 적용된 수치 알고리즘의 안정성에 대해 고찰하였다.

When Coming alongside the shallow water or narrow pier, they apply sea area with small mooring facilities and Floating matter because of the diversity of ships and limitation and effective in cutting expenses. However, when ships, applying Small mooring facilities and Floating matter, come alongside, there can be some impulse by waves between the Floating things and ships which possibly leads to mass disaster. Therefore, there should be forecasts and analysis of the movement caused by waves. On this Study, it introduces the composition and principles of the developed system provides the base of the movement traits through measuring 3-D exercise data and acceleration of the Mooring and Floating matters.

A model test for assessment of towing stability and seakeeping of a multi-purpose mobile base (MMB) was performed in calm water and wave conditions. Scale ratio of the MMB was 1/48. Tension of the towing line was measured during tests to estimate effective power to tow the full scale MMB. The tests were repeated with towing speed. In addition, an inertial measurement unit was used to measure six DOF motion of the model. Seakeeping performance was assessed through the captive model test.
