  • A storm surge is gradually increased in the Korean peninsula. Furthermore, this phenomenon is confined not only the Korean peninsula but also the whole world. A storm surge induced by storm, typhoon, or cyclone is a phenomenon that the water surface elevation is raising by the barometric pressure difference and this water level rising threatens the coastal facilities, settlement, or lives. Most of coastal region in our country are unsafe from this disaster. Even though we are not able to prevent the generation of this phenomenon, we can reduce the damages by investigating the kind of storm surge disaster. Once we finish this investigation, we can reduce the damages by offering the information for risk prior to an invasion of storm surge. This study, we analyzed the previously occurred storm surge damages, and this data can be utilized as a guide for those who live near the coastal region providing the information about the predicting scale of the storm surge

  • This study describes a procedure of movable bed model tests and discusses the similitude with a view to state of the art. The prediction of littoral transport in the vicinity of coastal structure of nuclear power #9, 10 has been attempted. From the result of the present movable model study, it was found that the offshore breakwater is more excellent than the groyne and the rip-current barrier for the prevention against in take siltations and for the stability of investigated coastal structure of nuclear power plant.

  • In this study, the simulations and analyses of flood flow due to a river inundation in a coastal urban area are carried out using a two-dimensional finite volume method with well-balanced HLLC scheme. The target area is a coastal urban area around Gohyun river which is located at Geoje city in Kyungnam province in Korea and was extremely damaged due to the heavy rainfall during the period of the typhoon "Maemi" in September 2003. For the purpose of the verification of the numerical model applied in this study, the simulated results are compared and analyzed with the inundation traces. Moreover, the flood flow in a urban area is simulated and analyzed based on the scenarios of inflow to the river with the increase and decrease of the intensity of the heavy rainfall.
