Impact pressure due to sloshing is of great concern for the ship owners, designers and builders of the LNG carriers regarding the safety of LNG containment system and hull structure. Sloshing of LNG in partially filled tank has been an active area of research with numerous experimental and numerical investigations over the past decade. In order to accurately predict the sloshing impact load, a new numerical method was developed for accurate resolution of violent sloshing flow inside a three-dimensional LNG tank including wave breaking, jet formation, gas entrapping and liquid-gas interaction. The sloshing flow inside a membrane-type LNG tank is simulated numerically using the Finite-Analytic Navier-Stokes (FANS) method. The governing equations for two-phase air and water flows are formulated in curvilinear coordinate system and discretized using the finite-analytic method on a non-staggered grid. Simulations were performed for LNG tank in transverse and longitudinal motions including horizontal, vertical, and rotational motions. The predicted impact pressures were compared with the corresponding experimental data. The validation results clearly illustrate the capability of the present two-phase FANS method for accurate prediction of impact pressure in sloshing LNG tank including violent free surface motion, three-dimensional instability and air trapping effects.

본 연구에서는 2D 조파수조를 통해 수행된 모형시험결과를 기반으로 원형실린더에 분포하는 파랑충격압력을 시간에 따라 계측하고 이를 CFD해석 결과와 비교하였다. 전산유체역학 해석을 통해 파랑충격력에 직접평가법에 관한 효용성을 확인할 수 있었고, 실험으로부터 구한 파랑충격 시계열 데이터를 그대로 원형단면을 갖는 실제 해양구조물의 부재에 적용하였다. 실린더에 분포하는 변위 및 응력의 특성과 특이점이 바뀌는 것을 확인하였고 실제 시계열을 적용하는 것이 해양구조물의 강도평가를 보다 정확하게 평가할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 선수부에 요구되는 외판의 최소선급규정에 따른 두께 경험식들을 분석하여 적용하고자 하였다. 동일한 재료 물성치를 갖는 강재에 관해 선수외판에 요구되는 구조물의 최소두께와 원형단면 부재에 요구되는 최소두께를 비교·분석하였고 이를 통해 NORSOK standard에 제시되어 있는 구조물의 손상기준을 활용하여 허용 두께치를 추정하고자 하였다. 특히 해양구조물의 갑판충격력(wave in deck)의 경우 이와 관련된 경험식이나 최소두께 요구사항들이 정립되어 있지 않기 때문에 본 연구를 통해 파랑충격력에 따라 요구되는 판재의 최소두께를 제안하고자 하였다.

The non-destructive Inspection of the fillet weldment has difficulties due to its geometrical complexity and uneasy access. The surface shear horizontal wave (SH-wave), however, has been successfully applied to the detection of cracks on the surface and sub-surface of the filet weldment heel part. The conventional ultrasonic inspection using the surface SH-wave is usually a contact method using piezoelectric transducer. Thus, it is not suitable for a field application because the reliability and repeatability of inspection are significantly affected by test conditions such as couplant, contact pressure and pre-process. In order to overcome this problem, a non-contact SH-wave inspection method using EMAT is propose. The experimental results with this non-contact method are compared with those with a conventional ultrasonic method in fillet weldment with slit type defects. It is shown that the non-contact inspection technique requires simple procedure and less time in the fillet weldment inspection.

This paper presents a hybrid numerical approach, which combines a two-phase Navier-Stokes model (NS) and the fully nonlinear potential theory (FNPT), for modelling wave-structure interaction. The former governs the computational domain near the structure, where the viscous and turbulent effects are significant, and is solved by OpenFOAM/InterDyMFoam which utilising the finite volume method (FVM) with a Volume of Fluid (VOF) for the phase identification. The latter covers the rest of the domain, where the fluid may be considered as incompressible, inviscid and irrotational, and solved by using the Quasi Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian finite element method (QALE-FEM). These two models are weakly coupled using a zonal (spatially hierarchical) approach. Considering the inconsistence of the solutions at the boundaries between two different sub-domains governed by two fundamentally different models, a relaxation (transitional) zone is introduced, where the velocity, pressure and surface elevations are taken as the weighted summation of the solutions by two models. In order to tackle the challenges associated and maximise the computational efficiency, further developments of the QALE-FEM have been made. These include the derivation of an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian FNPT and application of a robust gradient calculation scheme for estimating the velocity. The present hybrid model is applied to the numerical simulation of a fixed horizontal cylinder subjected to a unidirectional wave with or without following current. The convergence property, the optimisation of the relaxation zone, the accuracy and the computational efficiency are discussed. Although the idea of the weakly coupling using the zonal approach is not new, the present hybrid model is the first one to couple the QALE-FEM with OpenFOAM solver and/or to be applied to numerical simulate the wave-structure interaction with presence of current.

음향파 완전파형역산은 탄성파 탐사를 통해 얻은 관측자료와 음향파 모델링자료를 맞춤으로써 지층의 속도모델을 고해상도로 구축하는 최적화 과정이다. 기존의 스트리머를 이용한 해양 탄성파 탐사 자료에 대한 음향파 완전파형역산에서는 압력자료만을 활용하여 P파 속도모델을 구축한다. 그러나 최근 다성분 해저면 탄성파 탐사기술의 발달로 다성분자료의 취득 사례가 늘고 있으며, 이에 따라 해양에서 얻어지는 다성분 자료를 활용한 음향파 완전파형역산 기법에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 수평 및 수직 입자가속도 자료를 활용한 효과적인 음향파 완전파형역산 전략을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해, 우선 음향파 모델링으로 제작된 압력 및 입자가속도 자료와 민감도커널을 분석하여 파형역산 과정에서 각 자료의 성분별 특성을 관찰하였다. 압력 자료에 함께 나타났던 직접파, 다이빙파 및 반사파가 수직 및 수평 입자가속도 자료에서 파동의 진행방향에 따라 분리되어 나타나는 것을 확인하였으며, 수평 입자가속도 자료는 상부의 장파장구조를, 수직 입자가속도 자료는 하부의 장파장구조와 전체 영역에서의 단파장구조를 구축하는 데 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 분석 결과를 바탕으로 입자가속도 자료만을 활용해 음향파 완전파형역산을 수행하는 순차적 자료 활용전략을 제시하며, 압력자료를 얻지 못하였거나 품질이 낮은 경우에도 입자가속도 자료를 활용하는 음향파 완전파형역산을 통해 양호한 P파 속도모델을 구축할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

사석경사식 방파제의 안정성에 있어 파랑에 의한 사석마운드내의 침투흐름의 영향이 연구되었다. 침투흐름은 일반적으로 태풍시 방파제 주변 수위차에 의해 발생된다. 기존 사석마운드의 안정해석법은 정적해석으로 활동면 상의자중(콘크리트블록, 사석, 필터, 보호층)에 의한 수직력과 콘크리트 블록에 작용하는 파압에 의한 수평력(Goda 식으로 산정)의 힘의 평형조건으로 결정된다. 그러나 이 정적방법은 사석마운드 내의 파랑에 의한 침투흐름을 고려할 수 없다. 이런 침투흐름은 사석마운드의 안정성을 감소시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 침투 작용시 사석경사식 방파제의 안정성에 대해 CFD 프로그램(OpenFOAM)과 한계평형해석법(GeoStudio)을 이용하여 검토하였다. 수치해석결과 침투로 인해 사석경사식 방파제의 안정성이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 수치해석 결과는 사석마운드의 안정성이 시간에 따라 변하는 것을 보여주었다. 특히 파가 방파제를 월류하고 침투류에 의해 상치콘크리트 측면과 하부에 강한 양압력과 사석마운드 내부에 간극수압이 크게 발생하는 시점에 가장 불안정 상태를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 동적 파랑에 의한 침투류의 영향을 고려한 동적해석도 정적해석과 함께 검토할 필요가 있다.

Steel catenary riser (SCR) is a popular/economical solution for the oil/gas production in deep and ultra-deep water. The behavioral characteristics of SCR have a high correlation with the motion of floating production facility at its survival and operational environments. When large motions of surface floaters occur, such as FPSO in 100-yr storm case, they can cause unacceptable negative tension on SCR near TDZ (touch down zone) and the corresponding elastic deflection can be large due to local dynamic buckling. The generation, propagation, and decay of the elastic wave are also affected by SCR and seabed soil interaction effects. The temporary local dynamic buckling vanishes with the recovery of tension on SCR with the upheaval motion of surface floater. Unlike larger-scale, an-order-of-magnitude longer period global buckling driven by heat and pressure variations in subsea pipelines, the sub-critical local dynamic buckling of SCR is motion-driven and short cycled, which, however, can lead to permanent structural damage when the resulting stress is greatly amplified beyond the elastic limit. The phenomenon is extensively investigated in this paper by using the vessel-mooring-riser coupled dynamic analysis program. It is found that the moment of large downward heave motion at the farthest-horizontal-offset position is the most dangerous for the local dynamic buckling.

A mesoscale meteorological model is applied to simulate turbulent airflow and eddy shedding over the Isle of Arran, SW Scotland, UK. Under conditions of NW flow, the mountain ridge of Kintyre, located upwind of Arran, induces gravity waves that also affect the airflow over the island. The possibility to nest domains allows description of the airflow over Arran with a very high resolution grid, while also including the effects of the surrounding mainland of Scotland, in particular of the mountain ridge of Kintyre. Initialised with a stably stratified NW flow, the mesoscale model simulates quasi-stationary gravity waves over the island induced by Kintyre. Embedded in the larger scale wave trains there is continuous development of small-scale transient eddies, created at the Arran hill tops, that move downstream through the stationary wave field. Although the transient eddies are more frequently simulated on the northern island where the terrain is more pronounced, they are also produced over Tighvein, a hill of 458 m on the southern island where measurements of surface pressure and 2 m meteorological variables have been recorded at intermittent intervals between 1996 and 2000. Comparison between early observations and simulations so far show qualitatively good agreement. Overall the computations demonstrate that turbulent flow can be modelled with a horizontal resolution of 70 m, and describe turbulent eddy structure on wavelength of only a few hundred metres.

Seabed affected by scouring, sedimentation, and siltation occurrences often cause exposure, which induces risks to existing structures or crude oil or gas pipeline buried subsea. In order to prevent possible risks, more economical structure installation methodology is proposed in this study by predicting and managing the risk. Also, the seabed does not only consist of sandy material, but clayey soil is also widespread, and the effect of undrained shear strength should be considered, and by cyclic environmental load, pore water pressure will occur in the seabed, which reduces shear strength and allows particles to move easily. Based on previous research regarding sedimentation or erosion, the average value of external environmental loads should be applied; for scouring, a 100-year period of environmental conditions should be applied. Also, sedimentation and erosion are mainly categorized by the bed load and suspended load; also, they are calculated as the sum of bed load and suspended load, which can be obtained from the movement of particles caused by sedimentation or erosion.

The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of muscular power by COP(center of pressure) training according to the angle variation of tilting bed. We changed the angles of tilting bed(up-down direction 0$^{\circ}$, 15$^{\circ}$, 30$^{\circ}$, 45$^{\circ}$ and right-left direction -15$^{\circ}$, 0$^{\circ}$, +15$^{\circ}$) for the correlation between angles and muscular power. And we measured EMG(electormyography) of lower limbs muscle(rectus femoris, biceps femoris, and gastrocnemius, tibialisa anterior) during COP training. COP training was divided by the COP trace training(in all direction) and sine wave trace training(vertical and horizontal direction). As the result, we obtained the improvement effect of COP training and we showed that electromyography(EMG) variations of lower limbs muscle on the angle variations of tilting bed were investigated.
