This paper identifies diffraction-induced wave setup when waves enter into a harbor of constant depth through a breakwater gap narrower than one wave length. It is well known, for this case, that the waves in the lee of the breakwater propagate as if from a point source and the wave crest lines are approximated well by semicircular arcs. Wave height decreases in accordance with conservation of energy; thereby resulting in an appreciable setup of the surface. (omitted)

The prediction of wave setup is an important part of modelling coastal inundation and flooding in coastal rivers but there are still some gaps in our knowledge particularly with respect to the conditions in river entrances. One of the reasons that wave setup is still not fully understood, almost fifty years after it was first observed in the field and subsequently reported by Thorndike Saville (1961) and by Dorrestein (1961), is that it is difficult to measure accurately in the field.

In this paper, we propose a new wireless transport network, which is named as Mobile Xhaul Network(MXN), that is enable to bring cost efficiency of fronthaul, midhaul and backhaul and to make easy installation of 5G Radio Access Network(RAN). For this purpose, we design XDU discovery and xhaul link setup mechanism with MXN architecture and operational procedure. Especially, in this paper, we propose various types of beam discovery mechanisms for mmWave based radio access on XDU and evaluate proposed schemes. The Simulation result shows that threshold based scheme and information based scheme have less than about 50% beam discovery latency compared to full search scheme.

A numelical model has been developed for the permeable coastal structures to simulate hydraulic characteristics on the permeable slopes, which interact with internal flow field of the structures. The model includes hydraulics in the porous medium. Numerical model was calibrated using hydraulic model experiments performed in 2-D wave flume in the Institute of Orean Hydraulics in PKNU. Good agreement were obtained with the model which employed inertia resistance term than with the conventional model, PBREAK.

열대성 저기압에 의해 발생되는 태풍 또는 폭풍은 주변해역에 평균수위상승(setup)을 유발하며 진행하게 된다. 우리나라에는 주로 하절기에 남해평양에서 발생한 해풍의 영향을 받아 해일 등의 피해를 입게 되는데, 이러한 해일은 여러가지 수위상승효과가 복합된 결과이다. 즉, 폭풍 도착전 발생하는 초기수위상승(initial setup), 저기압 중심 주변의 급격한 압력경사에 의한 수위상승(pressure setup), 폭풍의 진행속도가 발생된 파의 속도에 근접할 경우 압력차에 의한 수위상승이 더욱 증폭되는 장파수위상승(long wave setup), 바람과 바닥 마찰에 의한 수위상승(wind and bottom stress setup), Coriolis힘에 의한 수면상승(Coriolis setup) 등 여러 가지 효과에 의해 해일이 발생하게 된다.

The evaluation of shear modulus is very important in various fields of civil engineering. In this paper, the site characterization method using HWAW method is applied to determine shear wave velocity profile of two test sites in order to verify the field applicability of HWAW method. Shear wave velocity profiles by HWAW method are compared with shear wave velocity profiles by SASW test and PS-Suspension Logging test. Through field applications, it is shown that HWAW method can minimize the effect of noise and lateral non-homogeneity of the site and determine detailed local shear wave velocity profile of site.

The present study suggests the application of a depth camera for wave height field measurement, focusing on the calibration procedure and test setup. Azure Kinect system is used to measure the water surface elevation, with a field of view of 800 mm × 800 mm and repetition rate of 30 Hz. In the optimal optical setup, the spatial resolution of the field of view is 288 × 320 pixels. To detect the water surface by the depth camera, tracer particles that float on the water and reflects infrared is added. The calibration consists of wave height scaling and correction of the barrel distortion. A polynomial regression model of image correction is established using machine learning. The measurement results by the depth camera are compared with capacitance type wave height gauge measurement, to show good agreement.

Contact-guided-wave tests are impractical for investigating specimens with limited accessibility and rough surfaces or complex geometric features. A non-contact setup with a laser-ultrasonic transmitter and receiver is quite attractive for guided-wave inspection. In the present work, we developed a non-contact guided-wave tomography technique using the laser-ultrasonic technique in a plate. A method for Lamb-wave generation and detection in an aluminum plate with a pulsed laser-ultrasonic transmitter and Michelson-interferometer receiver was developed. The defect shape and area in the images obtained using laser scanning, showed good agreement with the actual defect. The proposed approach can be used as a non-contact online inspection and monitoring technique.

This paper describes experimental studies of impact pressure generated by breaking regular waves in shallow water on a vertical cylinder. Experimental work was carried out in a shallow water flume using a 1:30 - scale model of a vertical rigid circular hollow cylinder with a diameter 0.2 m. This represents a monopile for shallow water offshore wind turbines, subjected to depth induced breaking regular waves of frequencies of 0.8 Hz. The experimental setup included a 1 in 10 sloping bed followed by horizontal bed with a constant 0.8 m water depth. To determine the breaking characteristics, plunging breaking waves were generated. Free surface elevations were recorded at different locations between the wave paddle to the cylinder. Wave impact pressures on the cylinder at a number of elevations along its height were measured under breaking regular waves. The depth-induced wave breaking characteristics, impact pressures, and wave run-up during impact for various cylinder locations are presented and discussed.

Many coastal engineering designs utilize empirical formulas containing the Equivalent Deep-water Wave Height (EDWH), which is normally given a priori. However, no studies have explicitly discussed a method for determining the EDWH and the resulting design wave heights (DEWH) under irregular wave conditions. Unfortunately, it has been the case in many design practices that the EDWH is incorrectly estimated by dividing the Shallow-water Wave Height (SWH) at the structural position with its corresponding shoaling coefficient of regular wave. The present study reexamines the relationship between the Shallow-water Wave Height (SWH) at the structural position and its corresponding EDWH. Then, a new procedure is proposed to facilitate the correct estimation of EDWH. In this procedure, the EDWH and DEWH are determined differently according to the wave propagation model used to estimate the SWH. For this, Goda's original method for nonlinear irregular wave deformation is extended to produce values for linear shoaling. Finally, exemplary calculations are performed to assess the possible errors caused by a misuse of the wave height calculation procedure. The relative errors with respect to the correct values could exceed 20%, potentially leading to a significant under-design of coastal or harbor structures in some cases.
