The anomalous sea level deviation or storm surge caused by the typhoon Thelma in 1987 are studied analysing tidal observation data at 7 stations in the south coast of Korean peninsula. The surges are calculated by subtracting the predicted tidal height from the observed tidal record. The tidal deviation at these stations along the coast are discussed in association with meteorological data. The sea level anomalies are studied by means of the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis and the fast fourier transform (FFT) method. The results of analysis suggest that the peak value of surges are higher at the tidal stations in semi-enclosed bay and in long narrow channel than at the ones facing with the open sea. From the result of EOF analysis, the temporal and spatial fluctuations of storm surge can be described by the first EOF mode, which explains 63% of the total variances during the passage of typhoon Thelma. The deviation of storm surge in the studied areas indicates bi-modal peak during the passage of typhoon Thelma. From the results of FFT spectrum analysis, the peak of energy of autospectrum for surge, atmospheric pressure, and wind stress appeared at low frequency fluctuations band of 0.008-0.076 cph over the 4 stations. Auto-correlation function of surge showed periodicity, while that of atmospheric pressure and wind stress indicates no periodicity. The result of FFT analysis shows that the typhoon surges are related chiefly with the change of atmospheric pressure in an open bay (Cheju Harbor), but with the wind stress in a semi-enclosed bay (Yeosu Harbor).

A study for analysing the characteristics of the 'Tsunami Earthquake' and 'Tsunamigenic Earthquake' has been done in terms of stress drop and tectonic characteristics using previous studies on magnitude, moment, energy, and length of fault. The 'Tsunami Earthquake' seemed to occur mainly on the subduction environment with a very low stress drop of about 10 bars and a thrust dip angle comparing those of the 'Tsunamigenic Earthquake' or other earthquakes. Released energy to moment ratio of the 'Tsunami Earthquake' also seemed to be lower. Earthquakes which generated tsunami in the East Sea seemed to be 'Tsunamigenic Earthquake' with a stress drop of about 30${\sim}$50 bars, and an average energy to moment ratio. Hence, stress drop, energy to moment ratio, and thrust dip angle seem to be indicators of earthquakes that produce tsunamis.

열대성 저기압에 의해 발생되는 태풍 또는 폭풍은 주변해역에 평균수위상승(setup)을 유발하며 진행하게 된다. 우리나라에는 주로 하절기에 남해평양에서 발생한 해풍의 영향을 받아 해일 등의 피해를 입게 되는데, 이러한 해일은 여러가지 수위상승효과가 복합된 결과이다. 즉, 폭풍 도착전 발생하는 초기수위상승(initial setup), 저기압 중심 주변의 급격한 압력경사에 의한 수위상승(pressure setup), 폭풍의 진행속도가 발생된 파의 속도에 근접할 경우 압력차에 의한 수위상승이 더욱 증폭되는 장파수위상승(long wave setup), 바람과 바닥 마찰에 의한 수위상승(wind and bottom stress setup), Coriolis힘에 의한 수면상승(Coriolis setup) 등 여러 가지 효과에 의해 해일이 발생하게 된다.

지진해일은 주기가 긴 파랑으로 방파제나 방호구조물에 의한 에너지 감소가 작은 특성이 있다. 또한, 범람구역의 구조물 밀집도 및 지형적 요인에 따라 범람영역, 침수심, 파력 등이 상이하게 나타나므로 유체흐름의 입체적 변화양상을 고려하여야 한다. 본 수리모형실험은 임원항을 대상으로 구조물에 작용하는 지진해일의 파력특성을 3차원수리모형실험을 통해 검토하고, 파력산정계수(${\alpha}$)를 제시한다. 3차원 수리모형실험은 1983년 동해 중부 지진해일 발생 시 국내에서 가장 큰 피해를 입은 임원항을 대상으로 배후부지의 구조물과 인근 해안의 지형을 1/100으로 재현하여 실험에 임하였다. 입사파랑은 고립파(solitary wave)로 재현하였으며, 천수(shoaling)에 의한 파고변화를 측정하고 그에 따른 배후부지의 침수심, 구조물에 작용하는 파력을 측정하였다. 분석된 파력 산정계수(${\alpha}$)는 임원항 인근 해역 및 배후부지의 방재대책 수립을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 판단된다.

To choose appropriate countermeasures against potential coastal disaster damages caused by a storm surge, it is necessary to estimate the frequency of storm surge heights estimation. As the coastal populations size in the past was small, the tropical cyclone risk model (TCRM) was used to generate 176,689 synthetic typhoons. In simulation, historical paths and central pressures were incorporated as a probability density function. Moreover, to consider the typhoon characteristics that resurfaced or decayed after landfall on the southeast coast of China, incorporated the shift angle of the historical typhoon as a function of the probability density function and applied it as a damping parameter. Thus, the passing rate of typhoons moving from the southeast coast of China to the south coast has improved. The characteristics of the typhoon were analyzed from the historical typhoon information using correlations between the central pressure, maximum wind speed ($V_{max}$) and the maximum wind speed radius ($R_{max}$); it was then applied to synthetic typhoons. The storm surges were calculated using the ADCIRC model, considering both tidal and synthetic typhoons using automated Perl script. The storm surges caused by the probabilistic synthetic typhoons appear similar to the recorded storm surges, therefore this proposed scheme can be applied to the storm surge simulations. Based on these results, extreme values were calculated using the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) method, and as a result, the 100-year return period storm surge was found to be satisfactory compared with the calculated empirical simulation value. The method proposed in this study can be applied to estimate the frequency of storm surges in coastal areas.

This study investigates tsunami force acting on a group of onshore structures numerically by using three-dimensional one-field model for immiscible multi-phase flows, which is based on Navier-Stokes solver. In particular, we studied on the characteristics of tsunami with respect to the arrangement of onshore structures and the distance from seawall trough numerical experiments. For validation of the numerical method used in this study to calculate tsunami force, numerical results for tsunami force on the structures in coastal area are compared with available experimental data. Furthermore, a detail study on the efficiency of the numerical method is performed for the estimation of tsunami force based on the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic methods in which the numerical results are used. The obtained results are compared to the previous experimental one and design criteria. Considering both experimental results and numerical analysis results, semi-empirical formula by regression analysis is proposed. As a result, it was confirmed that the numerical analysis is effective to estimate on tsunami force acting on onshore structures.

An EST-based method which is applicable for estimating extreme sea levels from short sea-level records in a tide dominated coastal zone was developed. Via the method, annual maximum tidal level is chosen from the simulated 1-yr tidal data which are constituted by the independent daily high water levels, short term and long term surge heights and typhoon-induced surge heights. The high water levels are generated considering not only spring/neap tides and annual tide but also 18.6-year lunar nodal cycle. Typhoon-induced surges are selected from the training set which is constructed by observed or simulated surge heights. This yearly simulation is repeated many hundred years to yield the extreme tidal levels, and the whole process is carried out many hundred times repeatedly to get robust statistics of the levels. In addition, validation of the method is also shown by comparing the result with other researches with the tidal data of Mokpo Harbor.

This study was conducted to estimate the stability of a quay wall in case of wave overtopping under the combined action of an earthquake and tsunami using limit equilibrium method. The tsunami force was calculated by using a numerical program called TWOPM-3D (3-D one-field Model for immiscible TWO-Phase flows). Especially, the wave force acting behind the quay wall after a tsunami wave overtopping was estimated by treating back fill as a permeable material. The stability of the quay wall was assessed for both the sliding and overturning modes under passive and active conditions. The variation in the stability of the quay wall with time was determined by parametric studies, including those for the tsunami wave height, seismic acceleration coefficient, internal friction angle of the soil, wall friction angle, and pore water pressure ratio. When the earthquake and tsunami were considered simultaneously, the tsunami induced wave overtopping increased the stability of the quay wall under the passive condition, but in the active condition, the safety factors decreased.

Potential tsunamis generated in Okinawa Trough were simulated for the investigation of the propagation characteristics in the southwestern sea of Korean Peninsula. Shallow waters in the continental shelf of East China Sea and deep waters in Okinawa Trough play an important role in the propagation characteristics of the tsunamis generated in this region. The propagation characteristics can be classified into two phases according to the stage of propagation. In the first phase, the tsunamis propagate both northeast and southwest along the deep water of the trough. In the second phase, the tsunamis enter the continental shelf of the East China Sea at right angles to topographic contour lines. Simulated results show that the tsunamis generated in the Okinawa Trough give a weak influence to the southern and western coasts of Korea due to the special topography of the southwestern sea of Korean Peninsula.
