In this paper the wave run-up around a circular column in regular waves is numerically calculated to investigate the applicability of the Modified Marker-Density (MMD) method to prediction of wave run-up around an offshore platform. The MMD method is one of the methods to define the highly nonlinear free surface. The governing equations are the Navier-Stokes equations and the continuity equation which are computed in Cartesian grid system. To validate incident waves generated by numerical simulation, those are compared with the solutions of the Stokes $5^{th}$ order wave theory. The wave run-up simulations are performed varying the steepness and period of incident waves as referred experimental data. The numerical results are compared to the experimental data and the results show good agreements.

A time-domain numerical model is developed to examine the performance of a wave energy focusing structure in combined waves and a current. With the current assumed to be slow and the structure fully submerged, the wave-current interaction problem is reduced to a wave scattering problem in a uniform current. The diffraction of incident waves around a narrow berm is considered. The shape of the berm is defined by a parabola, imitating that of an optical reflector. The energy focus is achieved by reflecting the incident waves through a predetermined focal point. Through the numerical simulations, the numerical model is shown to be effective in modeling the wave-current interaction problem, and the current speed and direction are shown to affect significantly the location, amplitude and sharpness of the focus.

Spatially variable ground motions can be significant on the seismic response of a structure due to the incoherency of the incident wave. Incoherence of the incident wave is resulted from wave passage and wave scattering. In this study, wave passage effect on the response spectrum of a building structure built on a soft soil layer was investigated utilizing a finite element program of P3DASS (Pseudo 3-dimensional Dynamic Analysis of a Structure-soil System). P3DASS was developed for the axisymmetric problem in the cylindrical coordinate, but it is modified to apply anti-symmetric input earthquake motions. Study results were compared with the experimental results to verify the reliability of P3DASS program for the shear wave velocity of 250 m/s and the apparent shear wave velocities of 2000-3500 m/s. Studied transfer functions of input motions between surface mat foundation and free ground surface were well-agreed to the experimental ones with a small difference in all frequency ranges, showing some reductions of the transfer function in the high frequency range. Also wave passage effect on the elastic response spectrum reduced the elastic seismic response of a SDOF system somewhat in the short period range.

When a shock wave arrives at the open end of a tube, an impulsive wave is discharged from the tube exit and causes serious noise and vibration problems. In the current study, the effect of the cross-sectional area of a circular tube on the impulsive wave is investigated using computational methods. Marten-Yee's TVD scheme was employed to solve axisymmetric, unsteady, compressible Euler equations. With a change in the cross-sectional area of the tube, the Mach number of an incident shock wave is varied between 1.01 and 1.50. The results obtained show that the magnitude of the impulsive wave strongly depends upon the Mach number of the incident shock wave and the cross-sectional area of the tube. It is also found that for a given cross-sectional area of the tube, the impulse wave has strong directivity to the tube axis.

Based on the random-vibration-theory methodology, dynamic responses of nuclear facilities subjected to obliquely incidental and incoherent earthquake ground motions are calculated. The spectral power density functions of the 6-degree-of-freedom motions of a rigid foundation due to the incoherent ground motions are obtained with the local wave scattering and wave passage effects taken into consideration. The spectral power density function for the pseudo-acceleration of equipment installed on a structural floor is derived. The spectral acceleration of the equipment or the in-structure response spectrum is then estimated using the peak factors of random vibration. The approach is applied to nuclear power plant structures installed on half-spaces, and the reduction of high-frequency earthquake responses due to obliquely incident incoherent earthquake ground motions is examined. The influences of local wave scattering and wave passage effects are investigated for three half-spaces with different shear-wave velocities. When the shear-wave velocity is sufficiently large like hard rock, the local wave scattering significantly affects the reduction of the earthquake responses. In the cases of rock or soft rock, the earthquake responses of structures are further affected by the incident angles of seismic waves or the wave passage effects.

서해 개야수로 인근의 파랑전파, 해수유동, 퇴적물이동을 분석하기 위해서 각종 인공구조물 설치 전(CASE1W)과 후(CASE2W)로 분류하고, CASE1W와 CASE2W에 대한 계산결과를 비교하였다. 파랑전파에 대해서는 SWAN 수치모형을 이용하여 입사파와 반사파의 결과를 도출하였고, 해수유동에 대해서는 FLOW2DH 수치모형을 이용하여 해수유동에 따른 유속 결과를 도출하였다. SWAN 수치모형과 FLOW2DH 수치모형의 결과는 퇴적물이동을 예측하는 SEDTRAN 수치모형의 입력조건이 되어 개야수로 인근의 최대 저면전단응력과 부유사 농도분포를 계산하였다. SWAN 수치모형 계산결과, CASE2W의 경우 약 7 km 길이의 북측 도류제에 의해서 입사파가 회절 및 중첩되고, 반사파가 생성되어 개야수로 인근의 파고를 CASE1W에 비해 40~50 % 증가시켰다. FLOW2DH 수치모형 계산결과, 북방파제, 북측 도류제 및 금란도에 의해서 개야수로의 유속이 CASE1W과 대비하여 CASE2W가 10~30 % 빠르게 계산되었다. SEDTRAN 수침모형의 계산결과, 복합 파랑장(입사파, 반사파, 조석)에 따른 해양환경과 각종 인공구조물의 설치에 의해서 개야수로의 최대 저면전단응력이 1.0 N/m² 이상인 구간과 부유사농도가 80 mg/L 이상인 구간이 넓게 분포되었다는 것은 개야수로에 퇴적현상이 발생한 것이라고 판단된다.

Ultrasonic inspection of austenitic steel weldments is a truly difficult task due to complicated wave propagation phenomena such as beam skewing, splitting and distortion. In order to understand these phenomena and design proper inspection procedures, simulation is increasingly paid more attention to. This article addresses a ray tracing based approach to determine incident angle and position of optimal wave mode ultrasonic beam for flaw detection in anisotropic and inhomogeneous austenitic steel weldments. Specially, the optimal mode of ultrasonic wave wave is selected by ray tracing simulation, and an optimization approach based on ray tracing and bi-section search is proposed in order to find the ray path connecting two given points in weldments. With help of this approach, the optimal incident angle and position of ultrasonic beam can be determined for a given flaw position.

In the presence of incident waves with different frequencies, the second order sum and difference frequency waves due to the nonlinearity of the incident waves come into existence. Although the magnitudes of the forces produced on a Tension Leg Platform(TLP) by these nonlinear waves are small, they act on the TLP at sum and difference frequencies away from those of the incident waves. So, the second order sum and difference frequency wave loads produced close to the natural frequencies of TLPs often give greater contributions to high and low frequency resonant responses. The second order wave exciting forces and moments have been obtained by the method based on direct integration of pressure acting on the submerged surface of a TLP. The components of the second order forces which depend on first order quantities have been evaluated using the three dimensional source distribution method. The numerical results of time domain analysis for the nonlinear wave exciting forces in regular waves are compared with the numerical ones of frequency domain analysis. The results of comparison confirmed the validity of the proposed approach.

수중에서 기포는 비선형성이 강한 음향 산란체로서 수중 기포들로부터 산란된 음파들은 강한 비선형 음향특성을 보인다. 입사 음파의 산란된 음파들은 기본 주파수에서뿐만 아니라 배진동 또는 고차진동 주파수들에서도 관측된다. 서로 다른 주파수의 두 음파가 기포에 입사되는 경우, 산란된 음파들은 입사 음파들의 합 및 차주파수에서도 관측될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 수중에 형성된 기포막에 두 음파가 입사되는 경우, 기포의 비선형성에 의해 차주파수 음파의 진폭이 증폭되고 두 입사 음파의 전파방향으로 지향성이 나타남을 관측하였다. 산란된 차주파수 음파의 지향성은 일차 음원의 지향성을 사용하여 가상음원에 대한 결맞음 산란특성으로 해석하였다.

The bragg reflection of obliquely incident monochromatic water waves propagating over a sinusoidally varying topography is theoretically investigated in this study. The eigenfunction expansion method is first employed to calculate reflection coefficients of water waves due to depth changes. A reasonable agreement is observed. Obtained reflection coefficients of normally incident waves are compared with laboratory measurements. Reflection coefficients of obliquely incident waves are then calculated. The wavenumber providing the Bragg reflection agrees well with analytical predictions.
