A marine environmental information system (MEIS) useful for optimal route planning of ships running in the ocean was developed. Utilizing the simulated marine environmental data produced by the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts based on global environmental data observed by satellites, the real-time forecast and long-term statistics of marine environments around planned and probable ship routes are provided. The MEIS consists of a land-based data acquisition and analysis system(MEIS-Center) and a onboard information display system(MEIS-Ship) for graphic description of marine information and optimal route planning of ships. Also, it uses of satellite communication system for data transfer. The marine environmental components of winds, waves, air pressures and storms are provided, in which winds are described by speed and direction and waves are expressed in terms of height, direction and period for both of wind waves and swells. The real-time information is characterized by 0.5° resolution, 10 day forecast in 6 hour interval and daily update. The statistic information of monthly average and maximum value expected for a return period is featured by 1.5° resolution and based on 15 year database. The MEIS-Ship include an editing tool for route simulation and the forecasting and statistic information on planned routes can be displayed in graph or table. The MEIS enables for navigators to design an optimal navigational route that minimizes probable risk and operational cost.

In geoscience and engineering the geological characteristics of sediment strata is crucial and possible if reliable borehole logging and seismic data are available. To investigate the characteristics of the shallow strata in the Korea Strait, laboratory sonic logs were obtained from deep borehole data and seismic section. In this study, we integrated and analyzed the sonic log data obtained from the drilling core (down to a depth of 200 m below the seabed) and multichannel seismic section. The correlation value was increased from 15% to 45% through time-depth conversion. An initial model of P-wave impedance was set, and the results were compared by performing model-based, band-limited, and sparse-spike inversions. The derived P-impedance distributions exhibited differences between sediment-dominant and unconsolidated layers. The P-impedance inversion process can be used as a framework for an integrated analysis of additional core logs and seismic data in the future. Furthermore, the derived P-impedance can be used to detect shallow gas-saturated regions or faults in the shallow sediment. As domestic deep drilling is being performed continuously for identifying the characteristics of carbon dioxide storage candidates and evaluating resources, the applicability of the integrated inversion will increase in the future.

Recently, the frequency and intensity of typhoon-induced wave loading are increasing due to changed marine environments such as climate change. In addition, frequent earthquakes are causing a lot of damage around the world, including in Japan, Chile, Haiti, China, and Indonesia. In Korea, damage from typhoons has also been increasing since the 2000s, and the frequency and intensity of earthquakes are also increasing. Korea is surrounded by sea on three sides, so typhoons can cause a lot of damage to coastal structures, and earthquakes also cause a lot of damage to coastal structures. As such, the frequency and intensity of typhoon-induced wave loading and earthquakes are increasing both domestically and internationally, but there is no research linking typhoons and earthquakes. Therefore, in this study, numerical analysis was performed for a total of four cases by linking typhoon waves and earthquakes to the caisson breakwater. Numerical analysis was performed by applying wave loads in Case 1 and seismic wave in Case 2, seismic wave after wave loads in Case 3, and wave loads after seismic wave in Case 4. As a result of the numerical analysis, it was confirmed that in Case 3 and Case 4, which linked a typhoon and earthquakes, the damage caused by each load increased compared to Case 1 and Case 2 because the load was applied while the existing ground strength was reduced. In addition, it was confirmed that the greatest damage occurred in Case 3, in which seismic wave were applied after the wave loads.

최근의 기후변화는 강우강도의 증가로 인한 홍수의 빈도 및 홍수량의 증가로 인한 홍수 피해의 증가를 유발하고 있으며, 갈수기 및 평수기의 유량감소로 인한 수질의 악화와 부유사의 증가로 인한 피해가 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 피해에 대한 대책으로는 기후변화를 유발하는 전 지구적인 온난화의 대책이 가장 선행되어야 하겠으며, 또한 이수, 치수를 위한 정확한 하천해석을 통한 하천관리가 매우 중요한 실정이다. 하천관리는 경제 산업적 측면에서 중요한 분야이며, 바람직한 하천관리를 위해서는 하천의 거동에 대한 정확한 해석이 필수적이다. 많은 흐름 해석에서 섬이나 하천 구조물의 주위에서 복잡한 2차원적인 하천 흐름의 특성을 잘 나타낸다. 2차원 수치모형들은 이러한 불규칙한 경계면에서 발생하는 난류흐름을 처리하는데 어려움이 있다. 이는 대부분의 실제하천이나 홍수파 해석, 댐 붕괴류 해석, 조수영향과 같은 해안공학의 문제에서도 발생한다. 본 연구에서 개발한 난류해석기법의 적용성을 검증하기 위하여 내부경계가 존재하는 실험하도에 대한 수치모의를 수행하고 결과를 실험치, 해석해와 비교를 통하여 모형의 적용성과 적정 난류교환계수를 선정하였다. 실측치와 비교검토를 통하여 본 연구에서 개발된 2차원 난류해석을 유한요소모형의 적용성을 검증하였다.

Recently, the possibility of abnormal waves of which height is greater than design wave height have been increased due to the climate change, and therefore it has been urgent to secure the stability for harbor structures. As a countermeasure for improving the stability of conventional caisson breakwaters, a method has been proposed in which adjacent caissons are interlocked with each other to consecutively resist the abnormal wave forces. In order to reflect this research trend, the reduction effect of the maximum wave force resulted from introducing a long caisson has been presented in the revision to the design criteria for ports and fishing harbors and commentary. However, no method has been proposed to evaluate the stability of interlocking caisson breakwater. In this study, we consider the effect of the phase difference of the oblique incidence of the wave based on the linear wave theory and apply the Goda pressure formula for considering design wave pressure distribution in the vertical direction. Sliding stability assessment formula of an interlocking caisson breakwater is proposed for regular, irregular, and multi-directional irregular wave conditions.

This research was carried out to estimate annual erosion and retreat rates by using datum-point and to identify the characteristics and causes of seasonal variations of sea-cliff slope in Pado-ri, Taean-gun. In the result, the erosion and retreat rates of sea-cliff were increased from spring to summer. The rates were increased rapidly between August and October, caused by the effects of extreme weather events such as severe rainstorms and typhoons, etc. Since then, the erosion and retreat rates of sea-cliff were decreased gradually, but the rates were increased again in winter due to the storm surge and mechanical weathering resulting from the repeated freezing and thawing actions of bed rocks. The factors that affect erosion and retreat rates of sea-cliff include the number of days with antecedent participation and daily maximum wave height. In particular, it turned out that the erosion is accelerated by strong wave energy during storm surges and typhoons. The annual erosion and retreat rates of study area for the past two years(from May 2010 to May 2012) were approximately 44~60cm/yr in condition of differences in geomorphological and geological characteristics at each point. These erosion and retreat rates were found to be higher than results of previous researches. This is caused by coastal erosion forces strengthened by extreme weather events. The erosion and retreat process of sea-cliff in the study area is composed by denudation of onshore areas in addition to marine erosion(wave energy).

최근 대한민국에서는 기후변화로 전국 각지에서 돌발성 호우와 태풍의 강도 및 발생빈도가 높아지고 있다. 이에 따라 주요 국가시설이 위치한 해안 도시의 2차원 3차원 모형을 통해 극한 조건하 침수 분석을 수행하였다. 먼저 해양수산부 "2019년 전국 심해설계파 보고서"를 기반으로 극치분포 중 Weibull 분포를 이용하여 극한 조건, 1,000년부터 1,000,000년 빈도의 재현기간의 파도 높이와 풍속을 계산하였다. 계산 결과를 SWAN(Simulating WAves Nearshore)의 입력값으로 해상에서 100m 간격의 파고 높이를 계산하였다. 이때 100m 간격으로는 방파제 지형을 정확히 해석하지 못하였기에, 상세파고 계산을 위한 Nesting 기법을 이용하여 20m 간격의 파고 결과를 도출하였고, 해안 도시 인근 해상에서 10.916m의 파고를 예측하였다. 또한, 예측된 파고를 이용해 EurOtop(2018) 매뉴얼의 경험식을 기반으로 연구 유역으로 유입되는 월류량 계산에 사용하였다. 결과로 16방위 중 SSE 방향, 1,000,000년 빈도 재현기간 조건에서 0.0306cms/m의 월파량을 예측했다. 예측된 자료를 바탕으로 2차원 침수해석은 FLO-2D 모형, 3차원 침수해석은 FLOW-3D 모형을 이용하였다. 2차원 침수해석 결과 주요 지점에서 0.18~0.33m의 침수가 예상되었고 3차원 침수해석 결과 동일한 지점에서 0.240~0.333m의 침수가 예상되었다. 모의 결과 2차원과 3차원 모형 간 침수 예측 결과가 0.3cm에서 6.1cm의 차이를 나타내어 모형 구축이 합리적으로 이뤄졌다고 판단하였으며 연구 유역에서는 침수가 예상된다는 결과를 도출하였다. 본 연구를 통해 기후변화에 따른 해안에 위치한 주요 도시지역과 국가 주요 시설물에 대한 침수해석을 실시하였고 분석결과를 생명과 재산을 보호하기 위한 대피계획 등 재난예방대책 수립에 활용할 수 있음으로 예상된다.

Recently, there has been increasing concern regarding the collapse of hydraulic structures due to abnormal climate conditions. Therefore, numerous studies of the collapse of hydraulic structures have been carried out. In particular, the velocity of the propagation of a flood wave-front is important for predicting the inundation safety and establishing an EAP (Emergency Action Plan). Although many hydraulic tests have been conducted for precise predictions of a flood wave-front, the scale effect from downsizing has not considered. In this study, the relationships between surface tension and the concentration of surfactant, between surface tension and the velocity of flood wave propagation, and between surface tension and the Weber Number were derived through hydraulic tests using a surfactant and image analysis equipment. Based on these relations, the modification factor for the scale effect of the front of flood wave propagation was suggested. The results highlight the necessity of a modification factor when the Weber Number is lower than 12.2, but the scale effect can be ignored when the Weber Number over 12.2.

Performance analyses of vertical breakwaters were conducted for fictitiously designed breakwaters for various water depths to analyze the influence of climate change on the structures. The performance-based design method considering sea level rise and wave height increase due to climate change was used for the performance analysis. One of the problems of the performance-based design method is the large calculation time of wave transformation. To overcome this problem, the SWAN model combined with artificial neural network was used. The significant wave height and principal wave direction at the breakwater site are quickly calculated by using a trained neural network with inputs of deepwater significant wave height and principal wave direction, and tidal level. In general, structural stability becomes low due to climate change impacts, but the trend of stability is different depending on water depth. Outside surf zone, the influence of wave height increase becomes more significant, while that of sea level rise becomes negligible, as water depth increases. Inside surf zone, the influence of both wave height increase and sea level rise diminishes as water depth decreases, but the influence of wave height increase is greater than that of sea level rise. Reinforcement and maintenance policies for vertical breakwaters should be established with consideration of these results.
