This study examined the field application of a 3-D numerical model (LES-WASS-3D) to the estimation of the nearshore current at Songdo beach, Busan. The wave and tide conditions observed at Songdo beach during Typhoon Ewiniar (July 10, 2006) were used in a numerical simulation. The numerical wave heights were in good agreement with the field data. The spatial distributions of the wave heights, mean water levels, and mean flows obtained from the numerical simulation are discussed in relation to the bottom topographical change near Songdo beach before and after Typhoon Ewiniar. The results revealed that LES-WASS-3D is a powerful tool for estimating the nearshore current in the field.

In order to analyze the density current due to salt and temperature difference, this study develops new numerical model (LES-WASS-3D ver. 2.0) by introducing state equation for salt and temperature and 3D advection-diffusion equation to existing 3D numerical wave tank (LES-WASS-3D ver. 1.0). To verify the applicability, the newly-developed numerical model is analyzed comparing to the experimental result of existing numerical model. In the result, it well implement the behavior and vertical salt concentration of advected and diffused seawater as well as flow velocity and temperature of the discharged warm water. This confirms the validity and effectiveness of the developed numerical model.

In this paper, a new generation method for ship induced waves is proposed using the fully non-linear 3-D numerical model with non-reflected wave generation system (LES-WASS-3D). A ship induced wave generated by the newly proposed method is examined in comparison with that obtained by an empirical formula. It is then shown that there is a good agreement in free surface the elevation between them. As a result, it is revealed that a ship induced wave in a 3-D numerical wave field can be simulated well using LES-WASS-3D.

Present study aims at the development of a reasonable boundary condition for a structure over inclined seabed in case of the numerical model with quadrilateral mesh system. The technique for the inclined impermeable/permeable boundary in the quadrilateral mesh is newly proposed. The new technique and LES-WASS-3D model (Hur and Lee, 2007) have been used for the investigation of the dynamics of fluid field, and validated through the comparison with a typical stair-type boundary condition. 3-Dimensional numerical model with Large Eddy Simulation is called LES-WASS-3D, and is able to simulate directly interaction of WAve Structure Sea bed/Sandy beach.

컴퓨터 성능향상과 수치해석기법의 발달로 인해 Navier-Stokes 방정식에 기초한 수치모델을 활용한 3차원 유동/파동장 해석이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 아직까지 Navier-Stokes 방정식 모델의 계산부하를 PC에서 소화하기에는 무리가 따른다. 게다가 실험실 스케일을 벗어나, 실제 현장을 계산영역으로 설정할 경우에는 계산량이 엄청나게 증가하게 된다. 이것을 극복하기 위해서는 반듯이 병렬계산을 수행하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 계산부하가 큰 Navier-Stokes 방정식 기반의 3차원 수치모델 LES-WASS-3D를 활용한 대용량 병렬계산체계를 구축한다. 나아가 3차원 정밀 또는 광역의 유동/파동장 해석에 있어서 병렬계산체계의 성능과 적용성을 검토한다. 현재 보급되고 있는 PC들은 모두 멀티프로세서가 장착됨으로 손쉽게 병렬계산을 수행할 수 있다. 그러나 정밀 또는 광역해석을 위해서는 대용량 병렬계산 컴퓨터가 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 보조프로세서를 장착한 공유메모리 환경의 고성능 병렬계산체계를 구축한다. 나아가 포트란 기반의 순차코드로 구축된 기존 3차원 Navier-Stokes 방정식 모델 LES-WASS- 3D를 병렬코드로 변환한다. 병렬계산 성능 및 적용성을 검토하기 위한 수치해석을 수행한다. 이상의 과정을 통해 본 연구에서 구축한 병렬계산체계의 성능 및 적용성을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 3차원 유동/파동장 해석에 있어서 정확도 향상뿐 아니라, 계산영역을 확장할 수 있는 계기가 마련되었다. 또한 유동/파동 해석보다 많은 계산시간이 필요한 지형변동 해석에도 충분히 적용될 수 있다고 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the control function of discharged flow due to the shape and plane arrangement of permeable submerged breakwater. For the discussion on it in detail, 3-dimensional numerical model based on PBM (Porous Body Model), which is able to simulate directly interaction of Fluid Permeable structure Seabed has been used to simulate water discharge in a NWT (Numerical Water Tank). To verify the applicability, LES-WASS-3D is analyzed comparing to the experimental result about propagation characteristics of dam-break wave through a permeable structure. Using the results obtained from numerical simulation, the effects of the shape and plane arrangement of submerged breakwater on reducing velocity and flow induction have been discussed related to the mean flow distribution and vertical distributions of horizontal velocities around ones.

The aim of this study is to survey the effects of laying drainage layer in sandy beach on beach stabilization. At first, the numerical model developed by Hur and Lee (2007), which is able to consider the flow through a porous medium with inertia, laminar and turbulent resistance terms, i.e. simulate directly WAve Structure Seabed/Sandy beach interaction and can determine the eddy viscosity with LES turbulent model in 3-D wave field (LES-WASS-3D), is validated by comparing with existing experimental data. And then, numerical simulation is carried out to examine the characteristics of wave-sandy beach interaction for a beach with/without drainage layer. From the numerical results, it is shown that mean ground-water level around a foreshore decreases and offshore-ward flow over a seabed reduces in case of a beach with drainage layer. Moreover, the effects of cross profile of drainage layer and incident wave condition on mean ground-water level around a foreshore are also discussed as well the distribution of wave setup around the foreshore.
