To analyze incident waves traveling from the deep ocean is very important in that it is based on resolving problems occurred in coastal areas. In general, numerical models and analytical solutions are used to analyze wave transformation. Although a numerical model can be applied to various bottoms and wave conditions, it may have some cumbersome numerical errors. On the other hand, an analytical solution has an advantage of obtaining the solution quickly and accurately without numerical errors. The analytical solution can, however, be utilized only for specific conditions. In this study, the analytical solution of the mild-slope equation has been developed. It can be applied to various conditions combing a numerical technique and an analytical approach while minimizing the numerical errors. As a result of comparing the obtained solutions in this study with those of the previously developed numerical model, A good agreement was observed.

Based on the hydroelastic theory and the matched eigenfunction expansion method(MEEM), the dynamic behavior of the porous flexible net sheet and wave forces have been investigated in monochromatic waves. The net sheet is installed vertically with the submergence depth. Top end of a net sheet is fixed and its lower end is attached by a clump weight. It is assumed that the initial tension is sufficiently large so that the effects of dynamictension variation can be neglected. The boundary condition on the porous flexible net sheet is derived based on Darcy's fine-pore model and body boundary condition. The developed analytic model can be extended to the impermeable/permeable vertical plate and the impermeable flexible membrane. The analytical model was used to study the influence of design parameters(wave characteristics, porosity, submergence depth, initial tension) on the response characteristics and wave load of the net sheet.

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.

Along the shoreline a special treatment is required to simulate movement of periodic waves such as tsunami and tide because of continuous movement of shoreline as waves rise and recede. A moving boundary treatment is first proposed to track the movement of shoreline in this study. The treatment is then employed to obtain a maximum inundation area to be used for mitigation of coastal flooding. The obtained maximum inundation zone for a specific location is compared to that of available observed data. A reasonable agreement is observed.

In this study, simplified linear numerical method that can simulate wave generation and transformation by a moving bottom is introduced. Numerical analysis is conducted in wave number domain after continuity equation, linear dynamic and kinematic free surface boundary conditions and linear kinematic bottom boundary condition are Fourier transformed, and the results are expressed in space domain by an inverse Fourier transform. In the wavenumber domain, the dynamic free water surface boundary condition and the kinematic free water surface boundary condition are numerically calculated, and the velocity potential in the mean water level (z = 0) satisfies the continuity equation and the kinematic bottom boundary condition. Wave generation and transformation are investigated when the triangular and rectangular shape of bottoms move periodically. The results of the simplified numerical method are compared with the results of previous analytical solutions and agree well with them. Stability of numerical results according to the calculation time interval (Δt) and the calculation wave number interval (Δk) was also investigated. It was found that the numerical results were appropriate when Δt ≤ T(period)/1000 and Δk ≤ π/100.

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.

Analyzing various wave interactions with oscillating wave surge converters (OWSC) is essential because they must be operated efficiently under a wide range of wave conditions and designed to extract optimal wave energy. In the conceptual design and development stage of OWSC, numerical analysis can be a good alternative as a design tool. This study performed a numerical analysis on the behavioral characteristics of the inverted triangle flap against the incident waves using open source CFD to examine the essential behavioral attributes of OWSC. Specifically, the behavioral characteristics of the structure were studied by calculating the free water surface displacement and the flap rotation angle near the inverted triangular flap according to the change of the period under the regular wave conditions. By comparing and examining the numerical analysis results with the hydraulic model experiments, the validity of the analysis performed and the applicability in analyzing the wave-structure interactions related to OWSC was verified. The numerical analysis result confirmed that the hydrodynamic behavior characteristic due to the interactions of the wave and the inverted triangle flap was well reproduced.

Since major reason of disaster in coastal area is wave action, prediction of wave deformation is one of the most important problems to ocean engineers. Wave deformations are due to physical factors such as shoaling effect, reflection, diffraction, refraction, scattering and radiation etc. Recently, numerical models are widely utilized to calculate wave deformation. In this study, the mild slope equation was used in calculatin gwave deformation which considers diffraction and refraction. In order to slove the governing equation, finite element method is introduced. Even though this method has some difficulties, it is proved to predict the wave deformation accurately even in complicated boundary conditions. To verify the validity of the numerical calculation, experiments were carried out in a model harbour of rectangular shape which has mild slope bottom. The results by F.E.M. are compared with those of both Lee's method and the experiment. The results of these three methods show reasonable agreement.

A new design method of rubble mound structures that includes the considerations of stability and wave control is proposed. Using the method, design of structures that reduce the wave reflection and run-up and increase the rubble stability is assured under the given wave conditions. The new design formula is developed so that the allowable prcentage of damage and the wave grouping effects on rubble stability are also considered in design. For this a new definition of the mean run-sum is made. Finally, the new method is applied for the design of uniform and composite slope rubble mound structures and the significant advantages are found.
