Potential tsunamis which may occur near Ryukyu Islands were simulated. Propagation characteristics of the potential tsunamis over the southwestern sea and the influence of tsunamis on the southwestern coast of Korean Peninsula were analyzed. The shallow water area in the east sea of China and the deep water Okinawa Trough play an important role in wave transformation and propagation of the potential tsunamis. The propagation characteristics of the potential tsunamis generated near Ryukyu Islands can be described as in followings : In the first stage after generation, the tsunamis propagate with high speed both northeastward and southwestward along the Okinawa Trough. As a result the waves are elongated and the tsunami height is significantly reduced. The elongated crest of tsunamis spans the whole distance of the Okinawa Trough and lines up toward the edge of the continental shelf of East China Sea. Then, the tsunamis are propagating towards the southeast coast of China. Thus, the influence of tsunamis on the Korean coasts becomes weak.

Planning for the construction of ports and harbors usually takes place without the consideration of tsunamis because of their rare occurrence, approximately once every 100 years. However, recent warnings indicate that massive earthquakes could occur in Japan within the next 30 years. Earthquakes may generate large-scale tsunamis. Therefore, any tsunamis in the vicinity of Japan would also be expected to affect eastern Korea. Therefore, with the looming concerns of tsunamis and earthquakes, immediate attention must be given to the planning of ports and harbors. The warnings deserve an immediate response. The threatened regions cover a very large territory, and the degree of severity of the tsunamis is forecasted to be varied. Therefore, any modeling of the potential scenarios will require a broad array of possibilities. The objective of this paper is to consider the potential damage from tsunamis to ports and moored ships in Japan and Korea. In addition, consideration will be given to how the construction plans of ports and harbors should be changed to cope with the threats from earthquakes and tsunamis.

During last decades several devastating tsunamis have been occurred around the Pacific Ocean area. These tsunamis not only killed many human beings but also caused serious property damages. In the southern sea of the Korean Peninsula, many islands are scattered. These islands are very vulnerable to unexpected tsunami attacks. In this study, a numerical model is employed to investigate behaviors of tsunamis around circular islands. Although a few studies have been reported on the run-up heights of tsunami attacking a circular island, the effects of oblique incidence of tsunamis on the run-up heights have not been examined in detail. The run-up heights of obliquely incident tsunamis will be studied.

오키나와 트러프에서 발생되는 잠재 지진해일의 한반도 남서외해에서의 전파특성을 규명하기 위한 수치모의를 수행하였다. 동중국해 대륙붕의 얕은 수심과 오키나와 트러프의 깊은 수심은 이 지역에서 발생하는 지진해일의 전파특성에 중요한 역할을 한다. 전파특성은 전파 단계에 따라 두 가지로 분류된다. 첫 단계는 수심이 깊은 트러프를 따라서 북동과 남서방향으로 전파해가는 과정이고, 두 번째 단계는 등수심선과 직각방향으로 동중 국해의 대륙붕으로 진입하는 과정이다. 수치모의 결과 오키나와 트러프에서 발생하는 지진해일파는 남서외해의 특수한 해저지형의 영향으로 우리나라 남해안과 서해안에 미치는 영향이 매우 작은 것으로 나타났다.

본 논문에서는 동해에서의 가상해저지진에 의한 지진해일의 예단적 특성에 대해 논하였는데 재해를 유발시킬 수 있는 지진해일의 근원역은 공백역이론으로부터 선택되었다. 선형장파이론에 근거한 수치모형과 구면좌표계상의 파향선방정식에 근거한 파향선추적산정모형을 채택하여 28개의 선정된 가상지진(4 경우 실제지진 포함)에 의한 지진해일 전파를 산정하는 데 적용되었다. 결과로서 동해안에 전파되는 지진해일 특성과 동해안의 해안역위치에서의 지진해일 분포가 산정되어 지진해일 재해위험도가 상대적으로 낮은 지리적 위치를 구획화하였다.

Earth quake Tsunamis should be occured between Japan and Korea. There exist long distance fault gone in the sea. So that we can not ignoring tsunami dangerous activity, along the east sea shore line need investment preventing the worst effect roughly 10m Tsunami wave reduce the scale of the disaster.

Generally, tsunamis are generated by the rapid crustal movements of the ocean floor. Other factors of tsunami generation include landslides on coastal and ocean floor slopes, glacier collapses, and meteorite collisions. In this study, two numerical analyses were conducted to examine the formation, propagation, and deformation properties of landslide tsunamis. First, LS-DYNA was adopted to simulate the formation and propagation processes of tsunamis generated by dropping rigid bodies. The generated tsunamis had smaller wave heights and wider waveforms during their propagation, and their waveforms and flow velocities resembled those of theoretical solitary waves after a certain distance. Second, after the formation of the landslide tsunami, a tsunami based on the solitary wave approximation theory was generated in a numerical wave tank (NWT) with a computational domain that considered the stability/steady phase. The comparison of two numerical analysis results over a certain distance indicated that the waveform and flow velocity were approximately equal, and the maximum wave pressures acting on the upright wall also exhibited similar distributions. Therefore, an effective numerical model such as LS-DYNA was necessary to analyze the formation and initial deformations of the landslide tsunami, while an NWT with the wave generation method based on the solitary wave approximation theory was sufficient above a certain distance.

Tsunamis triggered by undersea earthquakes have the characteristic of longer wavelengths and can propagate a very long distance. Although the occurrence frequency of tsunami is low, it can cause casualties and properties. Historically, tsunamis that occurred on the western coast of Japan attacked the eastern coast of the Korean Peninsula and damaged the property and the loss of human life in 1983 and 1993. By tsunami in 1983 especially, 2 people were killed, and more than 200 casualties occurred. In addition, it caused 2 million dollars in property damage at Imwon Port. In 2011, The eastern cities of Japan: Iwate, Miyagi, Ibaraki, and Fukushima were damaged by a tsunami that occurred near onshore along the Pacific ocean and caused more than 300 billion dollars in property damage, and 20,000 casualties occurred. Moreover, those provoked nuclear power plant meltdown at Fukushima. In this study, it was carried out a relationship between maximum tsunami heights and fault parameters of earthquake: strike angle, dip angle, and slip angle at Imwon port. Those fault parameters are known that it does not relate to the magnitude of earthquake directly. Virtual tsunamis, which could be triggered by probable undersea earthquakes in the future, were investigated and mutual information based on probability and information theory was introduced to figure out the relationship between maximum tsunami height and fault parameters. Fault parameters were evaluated according to the strong relationship with maximum tsunami heights finally.

해저지진에 의해 촉발되는 파괴적인 지진해일은 지진의 진원지 부근은 물론 멀리 떨어진 해안지역에도 피해를 입힐 수 있다. 우리나라의 동해안은 많은 인구밀집지역과 원자력발전소가 위치하고 있어 예상하지 못한 지진해일의 내습으로부터 위험에 노출되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 지진해일 현장조사, 방재대책 및 추가적으로 연구해야 할 주제 등에 대하여 기술한다.
