In order to evaluate the performance of the floating wave power, which is an axisymmetric oscillating water column type, linearized free surface boundary condition considering the influence of PTO (power takeoff) was derived and a finite element numerical model was established. Numerical experiments were carried out by varying cylinder length, skirt length, and depth of water, which are design parameters that can change the resonance of water column in cylinder and heave resonance of the float, which is considered to affect the power generation efficiency. Finally, the basic data necessary for the optimum design of the power generation system were obtained. As a result, the efficiency of the power generation system is dominated by the heave motion resonance of the float rather than the water column resonance in the cylinder, and the resonance condition for the heave motion can be changed efficiently by attaching the skirt to the outside of the buoy.

This paper introduces a non-hydrostatic wave model SWASH for simulating wave interactions with porous structures. This model calculates the flow in porous media based on volume-averaged Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations (VARANS) in ${\sigma}$-coordinate. The empirical coefficients of resistance used to account for the flow in a porous media often need to be measured or calibrated. In this study, the empirical resistance coefficients used in the model are calibrated and validated using laboratory experiments, involving dam-break flow through porous media, and solitary wave interactions with a porous structure. It is shown that the agreement between experimental and numerical results is generally satisfactory. It is also confirmed that non-hydrodynamic model, SWASH, is computationally much more efficient than the three-dimensional porous flow models based on VOF approach.

Two-dimensional tidal and tidal residual currents in Chinhae Bay are investigated by field observations, hydraulic and numerical experiments. The results of hydraulic and numerical model experiments roughly coincide with the field measurements. Maximum tidal currents during the spring and neap tides in Kaduk and Kyunnaeryang channel and the central channel of Chinhae Bay are strong as 90 to 110 and 30 to 40 cm/s respectively, and strong tidal residual currents having numerous eddies take place. Maximum tidal currents during the spring and neap tides in the western and northern parts of the bay are weak as below 30 and 10 cm/s respectively, and also tidal residual currents are relatively weak. Tidal residual currents in the northern part of Kajo-do go toward the north, whereas the currents in the southern part move down the bay, and the currents rotating clockwise occur around Bu-do. The surface currents in the bay depend strongly on the wind and river inflow, and such phenomena are more remarkable during he neap tide than the spring tide.

We performed dilution experiments together with copepod added incubations to examine the influence of mesozooplankton on the grazing pressure of planktonic ciliates in Sihwa lake during summer when the abundances of phytoplankton and mesozooplankton increased considerably. Planktonic ciliates consumed 104% of primary production in a day on dilution experiments. However, the ciliates consumption on phytoplankton was reduced to 19% in copepod incubations with Acartia sinjiensis added. This was due to selective predation of A. sinjiensis on oligotrich ciliates ($>20{\mu}m$) which were major grazers on nano-phytoplankton. Our experiments show that grazing pressure of planktonic ciliates based on dilution experiments may be overestimated when the abundance of planktonic ciliates is strongly controlled by copepods. We postulate that the role of planktonic ciliates as grazers could diminish in Sihwa lake in spring and summer when abundance of copepods increase considerably. We suggest that the predation of mesozooplankton should be considered to better appraise the role of planktonic ciliates as grazers.

In this study, we introduce a linear spectral method capable of simulating wave generation and transformation caused by a moving bottom in a 3-dimensional space. The governing equations are linear dynamic free-surface boundary conditions and linear kinematic free-surface boundary conditions, which are solved in Fourier space. Solved velocity potential and free-surface displacement should satisfy continuity equation and kinematic bottom boundary condition. For numerical analysis, a 4th order Runge-Kutta method was utilized to analyze the time integral. The results obtained in Fourier space can be converted into velocity potential and free-surface displacement in a real space using inverse Fourier transform. Regular waves generated by various types of moving bottoms were simulated with the linear spectral method. Additionally, obliquely generated regular waves using specified bottom movements were simulated. The results obtained from the spectral method were compared to analytical solutions, showing good agreement between the two.

In this study, the reverberation of a bistatic sonar operated in southeastern coast in the East Sea in July 2020 was analyzed. The reverberation sensor data were collected through an LFM sound source towed by a research vessel and a horizontal line array receiver 1 km to 5 km away from it. The reverberation sensor data was analyzed by various methods including geo-plot after signal processing. Through this, it was confirmed that the angle reflected from the sound source through the scatterer to the receiver has a dominant influence on the distribution of the reverberation sound, and the probability distribution characteristics of bistatic sonar reverberation varies for each beam. In addition, parametric factors of K distribution and Rayleigh distribution were estimated from the sample through moment method estimation. Using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test at the confidence level of 0.05, the distribution probability of the data was analyzed. As a result, it could be observed that the reverberation follows a Rayleigh probability distribution, and it could be estimated that this was the effect of a low reverberation to noise ratio.

A study using numerical analysis techniques was conducted to examine the scour effect of pier-type dolphin structures installed in the domestic marine environment, and the effect of scour on horizontal bearing capacity was examined. In this study, we designed the berthing structures, taking into account the environmental and ground conditions of the target maritime area, and after calculating the predicted scour area, stability evaluation was performed by removing the ground elements of the area. The increase in scour depth was found to induce a direct decrease in horizontal bearing capacity due to soil loss in contact with the foundation, establishing a relationship that increases horizontal displacement. However, in the foundation designed to withstand the design load by reflecting the safety rate, the increase in horizontal displacement formed by possible scour is not large, which did not have a dominant effect on the horizontal bearing capacity of the foundation. In the future, research is required to analyze the impact of each factor and formalize evaluation and design techniques to evaluate the scour safety of marine foundations and pier-type structures installed in various ground conditions and structural formats.

Two monitoring buoys equipped with ADCP were deployed at the deepest positions along the trough of the central Gwangyang Bay in spring 2006 in order to study the circulation in the bay. Northward velocity is commonly dominant at both stations located in the eastern part of the channel, which supports the cyclonic circulation accompanied by the southward flow in the western part. The southern station has a distinct two-layer structure with current reversal at 14 m depth and increasing northward velocity in the lower layer to 36 m depth close to the bottom. At the northern station the northward flow becomes accelerated due to the decrease in the cross-sectional area and this northward current is dominant even in the upper layer. In the modal structure from the EOF analysis, the first mode has 74% of total variance at the northern station whereas it is 67% but the baroclinic portion increases at the southern station. The typical northward velocity is about 10 cm/s which is associated with the cyclonic circulation. Subtidal variability due to the local wind effect is negligible, but the nonlocal response associated with offshore Ekman flux by the zonal wind is found during strong wind events.

원자력, 화력발전소, 제철소 등의 다양한 임해 공업시설로부터 방출되는 냉각용 온배수는 연안일대 해수의 열균형을 파괴시켜 생태계의 보존 및 환경관리에 좋지 못한 영향을 야기케 된다. 이러한 영향은 해안 또는 만내의 수중온도를 전반적으로 높일뿐 아니라 가동중단시 갑자기 수온을 떨어뜨려 해양생물상에 피해를 줄수도 있다. 또한 온배수에 의하여 온도가 상승된 해수가 취수구를 통하여 재순환되어 냉각기능의 부진을 초래하게되면 발전효율 또는 기계가동율을 저하시키게 된다. 이러한 측면에서 온배수의 확산에 대한 정성, 정량적인 예측은 환경영향평가, 취.배수구 설계조건의 산정 등에 매우 중요한 문제라 하겠다. 본 연구는 정지수역으로 유입하는 3차원 정상류 표면온배수 해석모형의 개발로서 개발된 모형의 수치실험을 통하여 온배수 확산의 물리적 특성을 규명한다. 지배방정식에 나타나는 Reynolds 응력항($)과 온도유동 프럭스항($)의 해석에서 필요한 난류모델은 k-$\varepsilon$ 모형에 난류 평균자승 온도유동($) 및 그 감쇄방정식을 추가한 4-방정식 모델로서 구성하였다. 아울러 3차원 정상류 모형에서 야기되는 타원형 방정식을 포물형 방정식의 형태로 전환하여 효과적으로 해석할 수 있도록 모델의 특성을 정리하였다. 본 모델의 검증을 위하여 Lal 및 Rajaratnam(1977)의 물리적 실험값과 비교해본 결과 온배수 거동의 물리적현상이 잘 일치하였다. 또한 McGuirk 및 Rodi(1979)에 의해 개발된 2-방정식 k-$\varepsilon$ 난류모형의 해석결과에 대하여 비교분석을 실시하였다.

The concept of effective control is a crucial element for the acquisition as well as maintenance of territorial title. The general meaning of the concept has been described as 'an intentional display of power and authority over the territory, by the exercise of jurisdiction and State functions, on a continuous and peaceful basis'. The concept has been developed through some significant international cases such as the Island of Palmas case (1928), Legal Status of Eastern Greenland (1933), Minquiers and Ecrehos case (1953), Burkina Faso/Mali case (1986) and Nicaragua/Colombia case (2012). In relation to Dokdo, the concept has an important bearing in regard to Korea's claims of territorial sovereignty over the island. This paper reviews the definition, components and ramifications of the effective control with regard to the acquisition and maintenance of territorial title through analyzing the relevant judgements of international courts and tribunals. Furthermore, it exams the legal ramifications of the current effective control on Dokdo and makes some suggestions for the strengthening of Korea's position on the island.
