A Digital Wave Tank simulation technique, based on a finite-difference method and a modified marker-and-cell (MAC) algorithm, is applied in order to investigate the characteristics of nonlinear Tsunami propagations and their interactions with a 2D sloping beach, Ohkushiri Island, and to predict maximum wove run-up around the island. The Navier-Stokes (NS) and continuity equation are governed in the computational domain, and the boundary values are updated at each time step, by a finite-difference time-marching scheme in the frame of the rectangular coordinate system. The fully nonlinear, kinematic, free-surface condition is satisfied by the modified marker-density function technique. The near shore Tsunami is assumed to be a solitary wave, and is generated from the numerical wave-maker in the developed Digital Wave Tank. The simulation results are compared with the experiments and other numerical methods, based on the shallow-water wave theory.

This experimental study was performed to find rpms of the impeller and the surface flow accelerator to make a uniform velocity vertical distribution in the circular water channel. PIV technique was employed to measure the water velocity profiles into the water depth from the free surface. The number of instantaneous velocity profiles was decomposed into mean and turbulence velocity components, and the distribution of velocity fluctuation and turbulence intensity were computed for each experimental condition. From these results, the velocity uniformity was quantitatively determined to present the flow quality in the measuring section of the circular water channel. It has been shown that the proper operation of the surface flow accelerator would make the uniform velocity profiles and reduce the velocity fluctuation near the free surface.

There are two wave modes induced by an oscillating body on the free surface of a two-layer fluid: the barotropic and baroclinic modes. To investigate the generated waves composed of two modes, a radiation problem involving a heaving rectangular body was solved in a numerical wave tank. A new artificial damping zone scheme was developed and applied in the frequency-domain analysis. The performance of this damping scheme was compared with given radiation boundary conditions for various conditions. The added mass and radiation damping coefficients for the heaving rectangular body were also calculated for various fluid-density ratios.

As the first step to investigate the nonlinear interactions between turbulence and marine structures inside a viscous NWT, a LES technique was applied to solve the turbulent channel flow for =150. The employed turbulence models included 4 types: the Smagorinsky model, the Dynamic SGS model, the Structure Function model, and the Generalized Normal Stress model. The simulated data in time-series for the LESs were averaged in both time and space, and statistical analyses were performed. The results of the LESs were compared with those of a DNS, developed in the present study and two spectral methods by Yoon et al.(2003) and Kim et a1.(1987). Based on this research, the accuracy of LESs has been found to be still related to the number of grids for fine grid size).

This study was to evaluate hydrodynamic performance evaluation between an abroad product, a developed inflatable kayak and new developed kayaks. In order to test, inclining and turning trial test were carried out in the Ocean engineering Basin. Also, resistance test was carried out using a reduced scale model in the circulating water channel. In conclusion, stability of KONA was evaluated was the most greatest, the coefficient of resistance and center of gravity from RD-FK-12 were considerable, and turning performance of RD-FK-11 was greater than this of KONA and RD-FK-12.

A virtual reality technology for multipurpose numerical simulation is developed to reproduce and investigate a variety of ocean environmental problems in a 3D-Numerical Wave Tank. The governing equations for solving incompressible fluid motion are Navier-Stokes equation and continuity equation, and the Marker-Density function technique is adopted to implement the fully-nonlinear free-surface kinematic condition. The marine environmental situations, i.e. waves, currents, wind, etc., are reproduced by use of multi-segmented wavemaker on the basis of the so-called "snake-principle". In this paper, some numerical reproduction techniques for regular and irregular waves, multi-directional waves, Bull's-eye wave, wave-current, and solitary wave are presented, and a model test in motion with large amplitude of roll angle is conducted in the developed 3D-NWT, using a overlaid grid system.

본 연구는 자유표면 인삭을 위한 실험 기법 개발에 관한 연구이다. 2차원 수중익에 의해 발생되는 자유표면파를 연구대상으로 삼았다. 실험은 회류수조에서 행하였다. NACA 0012 수중익을 여러가지 길이와 2가지양각에 대해서 실험한 결과 생기는 비선형 자유표면 파를 인식할 수 있도록 영상처리 기술을 도입하였다. 실헙결과 얻은 자유표면 형상을 다른 연구자의 결과와 비교하였다. 비교결과 영상처리의 기법이 자유표면을 인식하는데 대단히 유용한 도구임을 알 수 있었다.

입사파와 반사파의 분리는 수리모형실험에 있어서 기본적이면서도 대단히 중요한 문제이다. 최근까지 개발된 분리기법으로는 Goda and Suzuki (1976)의 2점법과 Mansard and Funke (1980)의 3점범을 들 수 있다. 2점법은 두 지점에서의 파고를 관측하여 분리하는 기법으로 두 지점사이의 거리에 따라 해가 존재하지 않는 파랑조건이 존재하며 수조에서 발생되는 횡파, 비선형 파랑상호 간섭, signal noise, 측정오차 등에 민감한 단점이 있다.(중략)
