Controversy continues over the offensive nature of China's naval strategy to become a maritime power. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of China's naval strategy to become a maritime power by using the three elements of strategy and predict China's military actions in the future. For this purpose, research was conducted by considering the three elements of strategy and the distinct characteristics of naval strategy, and it was found that China's naval strategy was overall aggressive, but there was an imbalance in the pursuit of aggression between each strategic element. Offensive nature was prominent in terms of the methods, but there were limitations in the goals and means, such as the need to cooperate with neighboring countries to become a maritime power and the lack of military technology and operational continuity. The prospects for China's future military actions derived from the imbalance between these strategic elements are as follows. ① The risk of all-out military conflict with the US is low for now. ② China may use its naval power to force or cause limited military clashes against neighboring countries within the first island chain. ③ Accidental military conflicts with the US and neighboring countries may occur over naval confrontation over territorial disputes.

A possible source of resonant problems in a harbor is long waves generated by incident wave groups. The analytical solutions of the governing equations of second-order long waves derived using a multiple-scale perturbation method consist of the locked and free long waves. The locked long waves propagate at some group velocity, whereas the free long waves propagate at the shallow-water speed. To study the resonance of free long waves, a trapezoidally varying topography is employed. With certain combinations of incident angle, water depth, and ambient current velocity, free long waves can be trapped and resonated.

A mathematical model for the dynamic analysis of the riser system is developed to investigate the effect of internal flow on the free vibration of marine riser system which includes a steady flow inside the pipe. A semi-analytical method using series expansion is employed to derive Eigenvalue problem to facilitate the evaluation of the system frequencies, and its validity is given through the comparison of the solutions with the conventional method using system matrices. The algorithm is implemented to develop computer programs for the estimation of the system frequency. The investigations of the effect of internal flow on system frequency are performed according to the change of parameters such as top tension, internal flow velocity, and so on. It is found that the effect of internal flow can be controlled by the increase of top tension. However, careful consideration has to be given in the design point, particularly for the long riser.

A laterally-averaged X-Z numerical model with transformed coordinates is developed to analyze the salinity dispersion in estuaries. Gravitational term, salinity variations with respect to the water depth. and re-evaluation of , salinity boundary condition are examined. Especially. the improvements in stability and accuracy of the numerical algorithm are made by adopting the fractional step method for the dispersion term of the governing equation. The model being applied to the Keum River Esturary, physical and numerical properties of Manning's n and dispersion coefficients are analyzed. Salinity intrusion into the river, influence of upstream river inflows, and salinity distribution for spring/neap tide are also examined.

본 논문에서는 대형구조물의 해석에 있어서 부분구조합성법과 섭동법을 이용하여 복잡한 비선형시스템의 해석방법을 제안하였다. 해석방법은 전체시스템을 먼저 몇 개의 분계로 분할한다. 각 분계의 운동방정식에 비선형항이 존재하여도 전체시스템의 지배적 진동모드는 선형모드라는 가정하에 이 시스템의 각 분계를 모드좌표로 변환한다. 이때, 비선형항은 근사적으로 변환한다. 그리고 섭동법을 이용하여 각 분계의 모드좌표방정식은 섭동좌수별로 정식화되어 순차적으로 구해진다. 비선형의 감도는 비선형계수로 정의되고, 그에 상응하는 강성에 의해 구해진다. 제안된 해석방법으로 비선형회전체, 비선형 베어링-페데스탈로 구성된 대형시계구조물의 진동을 해석하였다. 해석방법의 유효성을 평가하기 위해 응답의 정도와 계산소요시간을 유한요소법의 결과와 비교 분석하였다.

In this study, a scaled model chamber was built to investigate ventilation characteristics of the hood room in LNG carrier. Experimental study was performed in model by visualization equipment with laser apparatus. Four different kinds of measuring area were selected as experimental condition Instant simultaneous velocity vectors at whole field were measured by 2-D PIV system and its software adopting two-frame grey-level cross correlation algorithm. The flow pattern reveals the large scale counter-clockwise forced-vortex rotation at center area.

Analytic solutions are derived for wave scattering by a semi-infinite breakwater or a breakwater gap with partially reflective front and fully reflective back. The water depth is constant and a regular wave train is normally incident to the breakwater. Wave scattering is studied based on the linear potential wave theory. The governing equation is transformed into ordinary differential equation by using the method of variation of parameters and coordinate transformation. Comparison with finite element numerical solution shows that the analytic solution obtained in this paper gives quite good results. Using the analytic solution, the tranquility of harbor entrance is investigated by changing the reflection coefficient at the breakwater.

An analytical solution for long waves propagating over an asymmetric trench is derived. The water depth inside the trench varies in proportion to a power of distance from the center of the trench. The mild-slope equation, governing equation, is transformed into second order ordinary differential equation with variable coefficients by using the long wave assumption and then the analytical solution is obtained by using the power series technique. The analytical solution is confirmed by comparison with the numerical solution. After calculating the analytical solution under various conditions, the results are analyzed.

A numerical skill for effective treatment of inclined boundaries in a finite element method is introduced. A finite element method has been frequently used to simulate hydraulic phenomena in a coastal zone since it can be applied to irregular and complex geometry. In case elliptic partial equations are governing equations for a finite element model, however, there is a difficulty in treating boundary conditions properly for cases in which boundaries are vertically inclined. In this study, a method to treat such inclined boundaries using Bessel functions for a finite element method is introduced and compared with analytical solutions.

An analytical solution which can be applied to an arbitrarily varying topography is derived by using the continuity and momentum equations. Applying the fact that the solution of the governing equation is expressed as Bessel function in such case that the water depth varies linearly, the present solution is obtained by assuming the water depth as series of constant slope. The present solution is verified by comparing with analytical solution derived previously and investigates the effects of bottom topography to run-up height of vertical structure.
