This paper provides a practical stochastic method by which the maximum equilibrium scour depth around a vertical pile exposed to random waves plus a current on mild slopes can be derived. The approach is based on assuming the waves to be a stationary narrow-band random process, adopting the Battjes and Groenendijk (2000) wave height distribution for mild slopes including the effect of breaking waves, and using the empirical formulas for the scour depth on the horizontal seabed by Sumer and Fredsøe (2002). The present approach is valid for wave-dominant flow conditions. Results for random waves alone and random wave plus currents have been presented and discussed by varying the seabed slope and water depth. An approximate method is also proposed, and comparisons are made with the present stochastic method. For random waves alone it appears that the approximate method can replace the stochastic method, whereas the stochastic method is required for random waves plus currents. Tentative approaches to related random wave-induced scour cases on mild slopes are also suggested.

Earthborne vibrations are induced by construction operation such as pile driving, roadbed compaction, and blasting and also by transit activities such as truck and trains. The earthborne vibration creates the stress waves traveling outward from the source and can structurally damage nearby buildings and structures in the forms of direct damage to structure and damage due to dynamic settlement. The wave propagation characteristics depends on impact or vibration energy, distance from the source, and soil characteristics. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review on the mechanistic of earthborne vibration and the current practice of vibration control and mitigation measures. The paper describes the state of knowledge in the areas of: (1) mechanics of earthborne vibration, (2) damage mechanism by earthborne vibration, (3) calculation, prediction of ground vibration, (4) the criteria of vibration limits, (5) vibration mitigation measures and their performance, and (6) the current practice of vibration control and mitigation measures.

In this paper, a fault location algorithm using wavelet transform is proposed for HVDC cable lines. The arriving instants of the first and second fault-induced backward travelling waves can be detected by using wavelet transform. The fault distance is estimated by using the time difference between the two instants of backward travelling waves and the velocity of the travelling wave. To distinguish between the backward wave from fault point and the backward wave from the remote end, polarities of backward waves are used. The proposed algorithm is verified varying with fault distances and fault resistances in underground cables of VSC(voltage source converter) HVDC system and CSC(Current Source Converter) HVDC respectively. Performance evaluations of the proposed algorithm shows that it has good ability for a fault location of HVDC cable faults.

This paper presents an efficient method to estimate the induced current by the external electromagnetic wave when the line system is composed of cascaded transmission lines. To solve this phenomena, we apply the state variable method to the nonhomogeneous differential equation. This new method is the way of transferring the sources at a different point by the Ch- aracteristics of the transition matrix. Using this method, we investigate the characteristics of the induced power of the transmission line above the perfectly conducting ground plane.

A numerical scheme solving the quasi-3D wave-induced circulation is presented. The governing equations have been solve implicitly using a fractional step method in conjunction with the approximate factroization techniques. The equation of each step was discretized by the finite volume scheme which yields more accurate and conservative approximations than the schemes based on finite differences. Examples of computed nearshore current patterns are presented to demonstrate the validity of the model for typical situations through comparison with laboratory experimental data (Gourlay. 1974).

The emission of external incident field or near device field is important factor of EMI and EMC. In this paper, we apply MOM, using the RWG basis function, to analysis the induced current distribution on the PEC and dielectric plates. The volume and surface integral equations are presented for the electromagnetic wave scattering from plate structures composed of dielectric and conducting objects.

The expansion of near shore aquaculture is feasibility of moving aquaculture facilities into the open ocean. Numerical modeling technique using finite element method was used to enable the optimum design and evaluation of submersible aquaculture cage system. The characteristics of mooring loads response in mooring lines under waves and current and their response amplitude operators were calculated for single and three point mooring configuration at the surface condition and submerged one. The static mooring loads without wave and current loading were similar for both the surface and submerged configuration. It was calculated that three point mooring was more adequate than single point mooring for the mooring configuration of submersible aquaculture cage system. The wave induced response amplitude operators for the single point mooring configuration with the influence of currents were identical to those without the influence of currents.

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) systems utilize the temperature difference between the surface water and deep ocean water to generate electrical energy. In addition to ocean surface waves, wind and current, in certain locations like the Andaman Sea, Sulu Sea and the South China Sea the presence of strong internal waves may become a concern in floating OTEC system design. The current paper focuses on studying the dependence of the CWP hydrodynamic drag on relative velocity of the flow around the pipe, the effect of drag amplification due to vortex induced vibrations and the influence of internal waves on the floating semi and the cold water pipe integrated OTEC system. Two CWP sizes are modeled; the 4m diameter pipe represents a small scale prototype and the 10m diameter pipe represents a full commercial size CWP. are considered in the study.

This paper suggested the improvement of marine environmental impact assessment in eastern coast as analyzing consultation on the coastal area utilization for development of ports and fishing harbors for 3years in the east coast. The results of survey are only 3cases, 12cases and 16cases each for ocean currents, wave and sounding data. However, for development of ports and fishing harbors in eastern coast, ocean characteristics in eastern coast different than in the West Sea, South Sea is considered to marine environmental impact assessment. For development of ports and fishing harbors in east coast where the influences of ocean currents, wind-driven current and waves are dominant, the effect of the current should be considered to improve the reproducibility of tidal current. The wave should also be considered as an assessment criteria to obtain the validity of project such as harbor tranquility, functionality of breakwaters and stability. In addition, sediment inflow in river and exact water depth data of the ocean should be applied to numerical modeling and set wave-induced current to external force of sediment transport to predict the problems such as the harbor siltation and the coastal erosion considering ocean characteristics in the east coast.
