The hypothetical earthquake located on the fault zone along the western coast of Japan, where sufficient time has elapsed since the last earthquake or an earthquake has not occurred yet, is known to possess significant potential energy. The possibility of earthquake activities occurring here in the future is high. It is expected that the resulting tsunamis will cause great damage to the East Sea coast of Korea and affect parts of the southern coast as well. In this study, tsunami that may be caused by a virtual earthquake that is expected in the hypothetical earthquake, along the western coast of Japan, will be estimated using numerical simulation. From this, the effect of the tsunami originating from the hypothetical earthquake on the southeastern coast of Korea will be evaluated by examining the water level rise due to the maximum water level rise and changing time, for each point along the southeastern coast. It will be possible to use the virtual results obtained like this as important basic materials in future disaster prevention plans and designs, for determining the direction of coastal development, for arranging seashore and harbor structures and to carry out wave resistant design for the southeastern coast of Korea.

MIKE21, a commercial hydrodynamic model, was applied at the Masan Bay to evaluate the model's applicability of simulating the inundation phenomena. A storm surge/inundation model which adopts overflow computation scheme was applied together for comparison. The results of both models show correspondence with not only observed inundation area but also inundation water depth to prove their ability as inundation models. Especially, the accuracy of the MIKE21 model, which just adopts wetting/drying scheme, does not seem to be behind the inundation model. Moreover, an inundation simulation of the virtual MAEMI which was generated at preceding study, was conducted. The inundation area of the virtual MAEMI is similar to that of the real MAEMI, but inundation water depth is deeper than the real MAEMI.

In this paper, scenario-based urban flood prediction for the entire Jinju city was performed, and a simulation domain was constructed using G2D as a 2-dimensional urban flood analysis model. The domain configuration is DEM, and the land cover map is used to set the roughness coefficient for each grid. The input data of the model are water level, water depth and flow rate. In the simulation of the built G2D model, virtual rainfall (3 mm/10 min rainfall given to all grids for 5 hours) and virtual flow were applied. And, a GPU acceleration technique was applied to determine whether to run the flood analysis model in the target area. As a result of the simulation, it was confirmed that the high-resolution flood analysis time was significantly shortened and the flood depth for visual flood judgment could be created for each simulation time.

가상현실 (Virtual Reality, VR) 기술은 3차원 가상공간 내에서의 높은 몰입감에 기반한 체험을 바탕으로 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 소방훈련이나 태풍, 지진 등 재해 대응훈련과 같이 인명피해의 위험이 있는 재해에 대한 VR 기술을 활용한 방재교육은 위험성을 동반하지 않으면서도 현장감에 기반한 높은 교육적 효과를 창출할 수 있다. 한국전자통신연구원에서는 VR 기술을 이용하여 소방훈련을 위한 실감 소방훈련 시뮬레이터를 개발한 바 있으며 목동재난체험관에서는 홍수, 태풍, 지진 등 다양한 재해에 대한 안전교육을 위한 자연재해 가상현실체험을 운영하고 있다. 이외에도 전국 지자체 및 교육청에서는 방재교육을 목적으로 VR 기술을 활용하고 있다. 그러나 기존의 VR을 활용한 수재해 방재교육은 범람의 수리학적 특성과 함께 수해지의 지형적 특성을 적절히 반영하지 못하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이는 방재교육이나 경각심을 부각하는 데엔 효과적이나 실질적인 방재 가이드라인을 제시하는 데엔 한계가 있다. 본 연구는 몰입형 파랑해석모형인 Celeris Base를 기반으로 3차원 가상현실 시각화를 활용한 수리학적 홍수추적 모형을 개발하였다. 3차원 가상현실 시각화는 Unity3D를 이용하여 모의환경 내에 구현되었다. 강우-유출 과정의 수리학적 해석을 위해 동수역학 수치모형의 연속방정식 내에 강우와 침투에 대한 항을 추가하였다. 침투모형으로는 Horton 모형, Green-Ampt 모형과 함께 사면의 기울기를 고려한 Green-Ampt 모형을 적용하였다. 실제 유역에서의 홍수추적 모의결과는 관측값과 비교적 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 개발된 모형은 VR 방재교육을 통해 일반인의 수재해 대응능력 향상에 기여함과 동시에 정확성 높은 홍수추적 모의결과에 기반한 홍수대책 마련에도 활용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

It is essential for generating the synthetic image to test and evaluate a guided missile system in the hardware-in-the-loop simulation. In order to make the evaluation results to be more reliable, the extent of fidelity and rendering performance of the synthetic image cannot be left ignored. There are numerous challenges to simulate the LWIR sensor signature of sea surface depending on the incident angle, especially in the maritime environment. In this paper, we investigate the key factors in determining the apparent temperature of sea surface and propose the approximate formula consisting of optical characteristics of sea surface and sky radiance. We find that the greater the incident angle increases, the larger the reflectivity of sea surface, and the greater the water vapor concentration in atmosphere increases, the larger the amount of sky radiance. On the basis of this information, we generate the virtual maritime environment in LWIR region using the SE-WORKBENCH, physically based rendering software. The margin of error is under seven percentage points.

As airborne laser scanning technique is developed with high vertical accuracy recently, there come many studies on DEM(digital elevation model creation, building extraction, flood risk mapping and 3D virtual city modeling. This study applied point comparative method, contour comparative method and digital map with scale 1/5,000 to calculate RMSE of DEM in according to resolution that was constructed using rawdata being acquired by airborne laser scanning. As a result, point comparative method showed lower DEM standard error than contour comparative method, it is a reason that contour comparative method was not carried out detailed grid calculation for point comparative method. Also, digital map with scale 1/5,000 showed higher DEM standard error than point comparative method and contour comparative method in below 25.4m that is average horizontal distance among contour line, and showed similar result with contour comparative method in over 25.4m.

The overall aim of this study is to mitigate urban environmental problems. In particular, to reduce the effects of urban heat island phenomenon which is one of the urban planning perspective. This study focused on the analysis of the relationship between the urban heat island effect and the thermal and wind properties. To do this analysis, water space was virtually made at Yeol_Mae village Apt. Because it is very difficult to set up water space for the existing apartment complexes due to realistic constraints. This study, therefore has a strong sort of guidelines to create water space for newly formed city. It was based on the concept of virtual city through an in-depth analysis on reduction of urban heat island effects for the existing apartment along with creation of water space. To analysis site, Envi-Met Model developed by Michael Bruse was used. The results are as follows. The temperature went from 298.9K to 297.82K and The wind speed went from 1.42m/s to 1.43m/s. The results are slight in this study because creation of water space is planned to a small area of an apartment complex. But if the water space would be applied to a whole city, the mitigation effect of urban heat island would be bigger.

Water Footprint is utilized to analyze direct and indirect water consumption for sustainable water resource management. This study aims to understand potential applicability of water footprint concept by analyzing the status of water consumption and related water policies in Seoul. We analyzed a direct gray water footprint and the blue water footprint in Seoul affected by the social and economic characteristics of the consumers in the city. In particular, in order to analyze the blue water footprint represented by both surface and underground water for the provision and consumption of products, we calculated the actual water consumptions of surface and underground water for 25 districts in Seoul. Our analysis in consideration of population and households indicates that Jung-gu has the highest blue water footprint followed by Jongro-gu, Gangnam-gu, Yongsan-gu, and Seocho-gu. Gray water footprint was calculated by estimating the amount of water for purifying wastewater to meet the water quality standard (above BOD 3.5ppm) for each district. As a result, Jung-gu has the highest gray water footprint, followed by Jongro-gu, Gangnam-gu, Yongsan-gu, Seocho-gu, and Youngdeungpo-gu. Our study suggests the potential value of using water footprint concept to complement the current limitations of water use management focusing on water supply control. We expect that our analysis will provide an important basis for considering water use management which is economically and socially more resilient and sustainable.

Before application of the angular spectrum method to calculate acoustic fields in stratified water, its efficiencies and errors were analyzed by using a virtual boundary in homogeneous water. As the results, it was confirmed that the angular spectrum method was able to calculate an acoustic field rapidly though some errors due to the limitation of reference field size and number of data in FFT ware included. A modified method combined the angular spectrum with Lommel's approximation, which was newly proposed in this paper, was useful to reduce the errors.

Most underwater acoustic arrays for low frequency operation are deployed vertically, but a mid-range frequency horizontal array system is being developed by the Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO). The horizontal array platform is deployed underwater and kept in place by weather vaning mooring. This is essential because it is nearly impossible to keep a submerged body at a given position in the water without any external force. Hence, the horizontal array platform can maintain the desired position in the presence of a weak tidal current. The objective of this study is to design an underwater platform that can maintain its horizontal position in a weak current. First, the authors investigated various virtual models, selected one of the models, and performed a small model test of the selected model at a basin. We calculated the external forces associated with the 2D motion, and then we conducted a large basin test followed by a circulation water channel test for the manufactured array platform. The results of the simplified 2D motion calculation essentially matched the results of the underwater test.
