A surface-piercing barrier model is presented for understanding morphological development in the sheltered region and investigating the main factors causing the severe accumulation. Surface-piercing structures like vertical barriers, surface docks and floating breakwaters are recently favored from the point of view of a marine scenario since they do not in general partition the natural sea. The numerical solutions are compared with experimental data on wave profiles and morphological change rates within a rectangular harbor of a constant depth protected by surface-piercing thin breakwaters as a simplified problem. Our numerical study involves several modules: 1) wave dynamics analyzed by a plane-wave approximation, 2) suspended sediment transport combined with sediment erosion-deposition model, and 3) concurrent morphological changes. Scattering waves are solved by using a plane wave method without inclusion of evanescent modes. Evanescent modes are only considered in predicting the reflection ratio against the vertical barrier and energy losses due to vortex shedding from the lower edge of plate are taken into account. A new relationship to relate the near-bed concentration to the depth-mean concentration is presented by analyzing the vertical structure of concentration. The numerical solutions were also compared with experimental data on morphological changes within a rectangular harbor of constant water depth. Through the numerical experiments, the vortex-induced flow appears to be not ignorable in predicting the morphological changes although the immersion depth of a plate is not deep.

Sea waves induce significant pressures on coastal surfaces, especially on rocky vertical cliffs or breakwater structures (Peregrine 2003). In the present work, this hydrodynamic pressure is considered as the excitation acting on a piezoelectric material sheet, installed on a vertical cliff, and connected to an external electric circuit (on land). The whole hydro/piezo/electric system is modeled in the context of linear wave theory. The piezoelectric elements are assumed to be small plates, possibly of stack configuration, under a specific wiring. They are connected with an external circuit, modeled by a complex impedance, as usually happens in preliminary studies (Liang and Liao 2011). The piezoelectric elements are subjected to thickness-mode vibrations under the influence of incident harmonic water waves. Full, kinematic and dynamic, coupling is implemented along the water-solid interface, using propagation and evanescent modes (Athanassoulis and Belibassakis 1999). For most energetically interesting conditions the long-wave theory is valid, making the effect of evanescent modes negligible, and permitting us to calculate a closed-form solution for the efficiency of the energy harvesting system. It is found that the efficiency is dependent on two dimensionless hydro/piezo/electric parameters, and may become significant (as high as 30 - 50%) for appropriate combinations of parameter values, which, however, corresponds to exotically flexible piezoelectric materials. The existence or the possibility of constructing such kind of materials formulates a question to material scientists.

In this paper, an integrated optical, evanescent-wave biosensor utilizing a multimode interferometer based on a Si₃N₄ rib-optical waveguide consisting of the Si/SiO₂/Si₃N₄/SiO₂ stacked structure was described. The theoretical background of the multimode interferometer was reviewed, and the structure and design process were presented through numerical computational analysis. We analyzed how the dimension (length, width) of the multimode interferometer affected the sensor performance. It has been confirmed through computational analysis that the changes in the refractive index of an analyte greatly affect the mode pattern formation position and output optical power of a multimode interferometer, and proved that this principle could be applied to integrated-optic biosensor.

$Si_3N_4$ rib-optical waveguides for evanescent-wave integrated-optical biosensors were analytically interpreted, to derive the single-mode propagation conditions. The integrated-optical biosensor structure based on two-mode interference was proposed, and the rib width and thickness and core thickness for a single-mode and two-mode waveguide (sensing region) were proposed to be $3{\mu}m$, 2 nm, and 150 nm and $3{\mu}m$, 20 nm, and 340 nm respectively. The optical characteristics of each guided-wave mode were investigated utilizing the film mode-matching (FMM) analysis.

The propagation characteristic of an optical waveguide was investigated by measuring with a near-field scanning optical microscope (NSOM) the evanescent field formed at the neighbor of its core-cladding interface. For this purpose, the NSOM system was developed specially as a form of Photon scanning tunneling microscope. The evanescent field distributions of several channel waveguides were measured at the wavelength of 1550 ㎚, and the usefulness of the system was verified by comparing experimental results with simulation results. In particular, the interference phenomena of the guided modes during their propagation along a multimode channel waveguide could be observed directly from the measured evanescent field distribution.

In this paper, we have applied Berenger's perfectly matched layer(PML) absorbing boundary conditition(ABC) with three dimension at the propagation direction of field, side boundary and upper boundary in which evanescent and radiation field is exist. Even though the same computationaal domain is used, PML is superior to other ABC in the absorbing ability that is obtained reflective coefficient about $10^{-4}$ unit for the propagation wave, but PML is ineffective in absorbing evanescent field. Also we have compared dispersive characteristics of the microstrip with Kobayashi's emprical method, and obtaind very similar result, but 0.8% error is generated at the dc or near.

The reflection coefficients of monochromatic waves propagating over a shelf with varying dimensions are theoretically calculated. The diffraction of waves by an abrupt depth change is formulated by the eigenfunction expansion method. Not only propagating mode but also evanescent modes are considered in formulation. The role of evanescent modes in reflection coefficients is investigated in detail. Water waves are obliquely as well as normally incident to the region. The obtained reflection coefficients are verified by checking conservation of wave energy.

Both hydraulic and dynamic characteristics of a single perforated wall are studied theoretically and experimentally. Theoretically, the effect of evanescent modes on wave force acting on a single perated wall is studied by use of the Horiguchi theory. The wave force on the perforated wall is presented to be insensitive to evanescent modes. According to experimental study, The larger perforation ratio(${\gamma}$) grows, the weaker the wave force on the wall becomes sensitively. And in the small value of l/D (ratio of wall thickness(l) to hole diameter(D)) where the holes on the wall are regarded as orifice, the wave force on the wall is insensitive to the variation of l/D. Energy loss coefficient f is estimated at 1.0 in this small value of l/D by use of Horiguchi theory. But in the large value of l/D where the holes are regarded as pipe, the wave force on the wall is relatively sensitive to the variation of l/D and f is estimated at 1.5 by use of Horiguchi theory.
